As can be seen, more than a full year will pass without the National Series being played and a second edition of the elite tournament is not in sight in 2023, based on the announced date.
«The Series began in January for all the time we had been without baseball due to the pandemic. For me, starting in September is the ideal date, because our main event would not be so affected by the departure of players from contracts. It will also be a year full of international events, including the Caribbean Series, the Classic, the Central American and Pan American Games”, The journalist himself commented in his publication.
«The Elite Series is here to stay, what happens is that you have to organize the calendar. We should not have this event in 2023, because the first edition ends in January and we should not have another Elite Series in March without having a National Series in between»he added.

Once again, the Cuban sports calendar, and especially the national series, will undergo variations and changes. Let’s hope that, despite the wait, these are final and, furthermore, the elite competition is not a failure similar to the Super Leagues, which left neither sorrow nor glory.
