Imran Tahir is likely to steer the local franchise again
Being led again by their trusted skipper Imran Tahir, the Guyana Amazon Warriors are the first team of the five teams of the Global Super League T20 to announce their squad for the tournament, to be played later this month.
The Amazon Warriors’ 13- member squad would see Imran Tahir, Shimron Hetmyer, Romario Shepherd, Keemo Paul, Shai Hope, Moeen Ali, Dwaine Pretorius and Kevlon Anderson returning from the Republic Bank Caribbean Premier League (CPL) 2024 squad that finished as runners-up in that tournament.
International signings have seen Pakistan-born USA allrounder Hassan Khan being added to the Warriors’ roster alongside Bangladeshi fast- bowler Tanzim Hasan Sakib. And Regional inclusions encompass St. Lucia Kings’ Roston Chase and Trinbago Knight Riders’ Mark Deyal; while Shamar Springer, who recently performed well for the Antigua and Barbuda Falcons, would also suit up for the Warriors.

While there has been much clamour about missing characters from the GAW side, such as Gudakesh Motie and Shamar Joseph, it is likely that they would miss out on the Super League action because of international duties.
The West Indies Men’s Test team would be taking on Bangladesh in the same window. The first Test is scheduled for the Sir Vivian Richards Stadium in Antigua from November 22nd to 26th, while the second Test in the 2-match series would take place from November 30th to December 4th at Sabina Park in Kingston, Jamaica.
Tickets
In other GSL T20 news, tickets for the event, being hosted solely at the Guyana National Stadium at Providence, would go on sale online tomorrow, Thursday, November 9, at GSLT20.com. In addition, organizers have advised that the box office would be opened soon for in- person purchases.
