The Guyana Amazon Warriors 233- 234 Camp Street, Georgetown box office was brimming with excitement on Tuesday morning as scores of eager fans got the opportunity to meet and greet the stars of the local T20 franchise.
The Amazon Warriors spent time at the box office and the Future Care Pharmacy housed in the same building, in what could be described as a joyous atmosphere.
The fans, ranging from young to old, benefitted from interactions which encompassed photos, autographs and at times, casual conversations.
Sharing a word on behalf of his teammates, star batsman Shimron Hetmyer described the positive emotions he gets when interacting with fans.
“I think it’s always good to come out and meet your fans. It’s them that really come and fill the stadium and make the game more exciting for us as players as well, so, like I said, it’s really nice to come out and see some new faces and some old faces as well,” Hetmyer expressed.
The beloved Berbician batsman went on to add in a word to “Warrior Nation”, “Just continue to support us really ’cause I think your support means a lot for us as players and as a team as well. I think “Warrior Nation” has been behind us regardless – win, lose or draw, they’re always there. so, just come out and support us.”
The West Indies batsman went on to describe the thrills of playing at home.
“I think, playing at home, it’s a completely different feeling than playing anywhere else. I think it just feels and sounds much louder at home which is kind of weird because of the fact that there’s so many people in India, you would expect it to be a little bit different, but here, it just feels like a more comforting roar than anything else,” he shared.
The Amazon Warriors will be back in action this evening, for their final preliminary game of the ExxonMobil Guyana Global Super League (GSL), taking on Australia’s Hobart Hurricanes XI from 19:00h at the Guyana National Stadium, Providence.
