The Tallawahs have not participated in the the tournament for the last two editions.

GMR also owns kabaddi and kho kho teams. Jamaica Tallawahs are three-time CPL champions and one of the tournament's six original franchises. Most recently, the franchise's owner Kris Persaud sold it back to the league in 2023 and purchased the rights of a new team - Antigua and Barbuda Falcons. Persaud listed a deficiency of Government of Jamaica support as one of the main causes for the disbanding of the team. Prior to this month's elections, which saw the Labour Party take power, the ministry of sport and tourism acknowledged that it was "finalising arrangements" for the tournament's return to Jamaica following recent investments that had been placed in Sabina Park.
