Grimmond ready to shine as Guyana defend T20 Blaze title

– compete in CG United Women’s Super50 Cup

As the countdown begins to the CG United Women’s Super50 Cup and CWI T20 Blaze, starting January 13, 2026, the Guyana women’s cricket team are hard at work in training camp, fine-tuning their skills and strategies.
Among the squad’s bright prospects is 20-year-old Realeanna Grimmond, who spoke candidly about her excitement and expectations for the upcoming tournaments.
“To be honest I think it’s a big responsibility, but at the same time I won’t want to look at it that way, so I won’t put pressure on myself. I have been around for a while and I know what to expect when we get there. I think it would be good leading the team from the front with the batting. I don’t think it would be that much difficult for me, it would just come naturally,” Grimmond said.

The young batter has also expressed confidence in her preparations. “My preparations have been very good. For the past couple of months, I have been doing a lot of work on my batting, so I’m very confident that I’m going to go out there and do well for my team,” she added.
Grimmond is optimistic about the team’s chances, pointing to the confidence gained from their previous successes. “I think that the girls would be pretty confident knowing that we won the title for the T20. And… we will be starting with the T20s, so I think that the girls would be on high confidence, myself included. We have the talent. We have a lot of talented players within our unit, so I think that will be pretty good,” she stated.
The Guyana squad for the tournaments features Shemaine Campbelle (Captain); Ashmini Munisar (Vice-Captain); Shabika Gajnabi; Sheneta Grimmond; Realeanna Grimmond; Daneille Manns; Kaysia Schultz; Laurene Williams; Latoya Williams; Analesia D’Aguiar; Plaffianna Millington; Mandy Mangru; Feona Benjamin and Tremaine Marks.
With a blend of experience and youthful energy, the team look poised to make a strong showing in both the 50-over and T20 competitions.
Fans will be eager to see if Grimmond’s confidence translates into runs on the field as Guyana aim to defend their T20 title and make a statement in the Super50 Cup.
