The presence of Trinidad & Tobago is what makes the Champions League T20 a most unusual tournament.
For unlike the Mumbai Indians, their opponents on Monday, they are not a franchise. Nor are they a provincial side such as the Warriors or the South Australian Redbacks. They aren't a county team like Somerset.
T&T is a full-blown national side that happens to have won over other Caribbean nations such as Barbados and Jamaica to qualify for the CLT20.
In that sense, T&T have that much more to play for but as they showed in the inaugural edition of the tournament held in India in 2009, that fact doesn't play much on their mind. They simply go out there and enjoy themselves.
