Saint Lucia Kings

The Saint Lucia Kings (formerly known as St Lucia Stars and St Lucia Zouks)[1] are the representative team of Saint Lucia in the Caribbean Premier League (CPL) of cricket. They were created in 2013 as one of the six teams for the inaugural season of the tournament. After minimal success in early seasons, the Kings won their first title in 2024, defeating the Guyana Amazon Warriors. They adopted their current moniker in 2021 after being acquired by the ownership of the IPL’s Punjab Kings.
