T20 Blaze to light up Providence as action set to kick off today
…CG Insurance Super50 scheduled for June 16-25, 2022
The Guyana Cricket Board (GCB), on behalf of Cricket West Indies (CWI), is hosting the CG Insurance Super50 and T20 Blaze Tournament from June 7, 2022 to June 26, 2022. The two-format tournament will involve the participation of several current West Indies players and young promising regional players, including Stephanie Taylor (West Indies Captain) from Jamaica; Hayley Matthews and Deandra Dottin from Barbados and our very own Shemaine Campbell, Shabika Gajnabi, and Mandy Mangru, who recently returned from their cricket assignment in New Zeeland.
Some of the players set to be on show in the highly-anticipated T20 Blaze
The Super50 format was initially scheduled to bowl-off before the T20 Blaze. However, owing to unfavourable weather conditions, challenges arise in securing venues fit for play based on the initial schedule, which prompted a more appropriate schedule. Given the fast-drying conditions at the Guyana National Stadium, Providence, it was decided that the T20 Blaze matches will be played first at this venue with the CG Insurance Super50 stepping in later, provided that weather conditions become more favourable for play.
The first T20 Blaze will be played today at the Guyana National Stadium. The teams on show are:
* Leeward Islands v Windward Islands – 10:00h
* Barbados v Guyana – 14:30h
* Jamaica v Trinidad and Tobago – 19:00h
The CG Insurance Super50 will be played from June 16, 2022, to June 25, 2022.
The Guyana squad for the CG Insurance Super50 and T20 Blaze Tournament comprises Katana Mentore, Sherica Campbelle, Plaffianna Millington, Kaysia Schultz, Kumarie Persaud, Ashmini Munisar and Lashuna Toussaint, and West Indies players Shemaine Campbell (Captain), Shabika Gajnabi (Vice Captain), Cherry-Ann Fraser, Tremayne Smartt, Erva Giddings, Mandy Mangru, and Sheneta Grimmond.
