Cricket is coming home to Sabina Park, and the man in charge of the Jamaica Kingsmen wants the entire island to feel it.In an exclusive sit-down with The Gleaner, newly appointed Jamaican head of franchise, Atishai Mansingh, pulled back the curtain on the ambitious plans for the Kingsmen, with the Caribbean Premier League’s newest franchise set to end Jamaica’s two-year Caribbean Premier League hiatus when the tournament bowls off in August.Mansingh and his bosses at the US-based Kingsmen Sports Enterprise know all too well that the fans are one of their greatest assets, and they have made a sweet entry with incomparable ticket prices that will surely make Jamaicans smile."The focus for CPL 2026 from the Jamaica Kingsmen standpoint is definitely going to be on fan-centric experience and fan engagement," Mansingh declared. "The plan is to have Sabina Park as full as possible for each game."To that end, the George Headley Stand tickets will go for just US$10, which is likely the cheapest among Caribbean venues, Mansingh noted."The North stand lower level will be US$12, bumping to US$15 for marquee clashes against Trinbago Knight Riders and Guyana Amazon Warriors.But Mansingh, who describes himself as "pretty much the head cook and bottle washer" in these early days, isn't stopping at pricing.The Party Stand, powered by Exodus and Dream Weekend, promises carnival-meets-cricket energy. Yet the new chief insists the transformation runs far deeper."We want from your parking, to traffic, to security, to gate entry, that everything feels smooth and seamless. Everybody leaves with a smile on their face."On the pitch, the Kingsmen are building with Jamaican bloodlines. Seven home-grown players anchor the squad, headlined by captain Rovman Powell and the indomitable Andre Russell, two names that have been tried and proven in Jamaican colours following their title-winning successes previously with the Tallawahs.The youngest of the bunch is Vitel Lawes, the West Indies Under-19 breakout star, who Mansingh believes represents the future."We're looking to create a family environment for the Jamaica Kingsmen, to really emulate what Jamaican culture represents," he said.Five overseas players are expected to be announced by mid-July, with the possibility of talent flowing from the Kingsmen's sister franchise in the Pakistan Super League. Those international additions, Mansingh explained, will provide "experience and strategising opportunities for the younger players."Perhaps most striking is Mansingh's vision for sports tourism, a partnership with the tourism ministry and ‘Visit Jamaica’ that extends far beyond the boundary rope."We want to invite the diaspora and anybody abroad who wants to come down to Jamaica for cricket," he said. "This is an opportunity to experience cricket the Jamaican way."Tour packages will allow visitors to stay in Ocho Rios or Montego Bay, then bus to Kingston for 7 p.m. matches and return, which will, in turn, spread economic benefit from hotels to Airbnb hosts, from peanut vendors to soup men."Everything from the bottom up is benefiting from CPL being in Jamaica," Mansingh said.The Kingsmen open their season on August 7 against the Antigua & Barbuda Falcons in Kingstown before returning home for fixtures at Sabina Park on August 11 versus the Barbados Royals, August 13 versus Guyana Amazon Warriors, August 15 versus the Trinbago KnightRiders, and then on August 18 versus the St Kitts and Nevis Patriots.Mansingh's message to the Jamaican public was simple but urgent."We hope the Jamaican people buy into the work we're going to put in, come out to support every game, and experience something brand new."If he delivers on even half of what he promises, Sabina Park won't just be full. It'll be rocking in true Jamaican style.
