ExxonMobil Guyana keeps faith with Guyana Amazon Warriors

ExxonMobil Guyana is again throwing its support behind the ever-consistent Guyana Amazon Warriors (GAW) team, who are seeking to bring home the Hero Caribbean Premier League (CPL) Championship Trophy in 2020 after being runners-up since the inception of this league in 2013.

ExxonMobil initially started sponsoring the Guyana Franchise in 2018, making this its third consecutive year of sponsoring the GAW in this, the eighth edition of the Hero Caribbean Premier League.
Although the CPL tournament is differently structured this year, with all games being played in the Republic of Trinidad and Tobago, the Warriors are excited to get started, and are highly appreciative of ExxonMobil Guyana’s support.
GAW Team Manager Omar Khan, speaking about the importance of Exxon’s sponsorship, said: “The survival of franchise cricket is dependent on support from sponsors, and ExxonMobil Guyana has been a tremendous partner as our main team sponsor over the last three years. ExxonMobil Guyana has clearly demonstrated their commitment to developing young Guyanese and regional cricketers by being a team sponsor.
“In these challenging economic times, taking into consideration the existing pandemic, it’s a huge boost to the Guyana Amazon Warriors team.”
Khan added, “Young Guyanese players like Keemo Paul, Sherfane Rutherford, Ashmead Nedd, Kevin Sinclair, Shimron Hetmyer and Chandrapaul Hemraj are all now able to represent the Guyana Amazon Warriors at an international tournament like the CPL. They also have the opportunity to interact with the International players: Imran Tahir, Ross Taylor and Captain Chris Green, and this will definitely redound to their overall development as professional cricketers.

“We commend ExxonMobil Guyana for supporting efforts like these.”
ExxonMobil Guyana President Alistair Routledge shared that he is excited to experience the tournament. He said, “This is a great opportunity to showcase Guyana on an international stage, highlight the local cricketing talent, and bring the thrills of the game to the Guyanese watching at home. It is also a way of bringing people together for the love of the game.”
Routledge added: “We are proud to support our Guyanese team as the presenting sponsor. Being a cricket fan myself, growing up in the UK, I am really excited to experience the games while living in Guyana. I want to wish the team success throughout this season.”
