The Trinbago Knight Riders (formerly the Trinidad and Tobago Red Steel) are a franchise cricket team of the Caribbean Premier League based in Port of Spain, Trinidad and Tobago. The Red Steel was one of the original six teams created for the tournament's inaugural 2013 season. Their home ground is Queen's Park Oval. They are the most successful team in the CPL, with 4 titles as of the end of the 2023 season of Caribbean Premier League.
In 2015, Knight Riders Group, the parent company of Indian Premier League team Kolkata Knight Riders, purchased stake in the Red Steel.[1] The Red Steel went on to win the 2015 tournament.[2] After the season, the name was changed to Trinbago Knight Riders.[3] The franchise is owned by the Knight Riders Group, a sporting subsidiary alliance between the Red Chillies Entertainment and the Mehta Group, which also owns the Trinbago Knight Riders (Women's) team in the Women's Caribbean Premier League.[4]
