A New cricket tournament Global Super League T20 will launch in Guyana played between November 26th and December 07 with five teams from five different countries set to compete for a prize fund of USD 1 Million.
This will be South America’s first cricket event and is sanctioned by Cricket West Indies and is fully supported by the government of Guyana, the key holder in the tournament.
The event will feature a mini-league of 11 matches with each team playing four matches with the top two teams making it to the finals.
All the matches will take place at the Guyana National Stadium in Providence, with different teams from around the world being invited to take part each season.
The President of the Co-operative Republic of Guyana said, “The Global Super League has the full support of the Government of Guyana as we build a world-class sports tourism product.”
“Cricket is part of our cultural history, it is that unifying force, part of our heritage and an integral part of our strategic objective in economic diversification with a strong emphasis on Tourism.”
“As Guyana positions itself as a global shaper in the energy, food and climate landscape, we will use this platform to bring a world-class tournament to our shores.”
Meanwhile, Sir Clive Lloyd, the chairman of the Global Super League, said, “I’d like to welcome cricket fans from around the world to this exciting new event.”
“The passion for cricket in Guyana rivals that of fans anywhere, and we look forward to celebrating our love of the game and our rich and vibrant country with both those visiting in person and watching from around the world.”
“I would like to thank His Excellency Dr Mohammed Irfaan Ali for his vision of a new cricket event for Guyana, one that will captivate the world.”
Guyana has a diverse cricketing history, with a long tradition of producing world-class players like Shivnarine Chanderpaul and Carl Hooper.
The Global Super League T20 aims to build on this legacy and inspire a new generation of cricketers from the country.
