GRR confident ahead of Breakout League commencement today

As the Guyana Rainforest Rangers (GRR) prepare for their debut in the West Indies Breakout League today, confidence is high in the camp, especially since a number of the players are coming off of a championship run in the 2025 West Indies 4-Day Championship.

The Rainforest Rangers will battle the Windward Islands Infernos in the tournament’s opening game, this afternoon in Trinidad and Tobago.
This was articulated by the team’s head, Coach Ryan Hercules, during a recent interview prior to their departure for the twin-island Republic.
“[Confidence] Very high because like I said, most of the guys who would’ve just come back from the 4-Day tournament would’ve brought that confidence into the camp. Gelling and stuff has been going very well. So, the guys are pretty much eager to show what they can go out there and do for Guyana,” Hercules told this publication.
In addition, a new Guyanese leader will come to the fore as Kemol Savory takes the reins of the Guyanese team.
First tested in such a position during the West Indies Championship, where the Guyana Harpy Eagles (GHE) defeated the Barbados Pride at the Guyana National Stadium at Providence by 10 wickets, Savory’s leadership has come in for high praise from his coach.
The Head Coach explained, “Well, you would’ve seen that first game against Barbados. He showed some great leadership skills. That was his first game as Captain against a team like Barbados, and he did very well. So, obviously, him being one of the senior guys in the team, that role went to him.
“You can look forward to him not being a scared leader. He’s got a lot of tactical and technical things in his brain as well. He’s someone who’s open with the team and support staff, great conversations from him as well; and, you know, he’s a jovial character. So, I think he would play that role pretty well, and also as a batter, one of the leading batters in the team, it’s good for him to have that responsibility going into this tournament,” he added.
Today’s clash between the Guyana Rainforest Rangers (GRR) and the Windward Islands Infernos is slated to bowl off at 15:00hrs. the tournament’s second game will take centre stage immediately thereafter with the Trinidad and Tobago Legions taking on the Barbados Pelicans from 19:00hrs.
