By Timothy Jaikarran

The highly anticipated PM T20 Cup is set to commence on November 11 and conclude on November 13, 2022, and over one million dollars in prizes will be up for grabs.

According to Ian John, President of the GSCL Inc, the sixth edition of the tournament promises to be lots of fun.
In an interview with this publication, John was asked for his view on the tournament, and he said, “The sixth edition of this PM T20 Cup promises lots of excitement and fun, which is expected to filter down from the much-anticipated CPL in September. Cricket is in the air, and Guyanese are very passionate about their cricket.
“With the participation of teams from Canada who are coming off a tournament; with regards to the tournament; with the hype seen at the launch, and the continued commitment of the media with the coverage we get before, during, and after the tournament, sponsors can be assured that they will be given first class coverage.”
John noted it is important that the sponsors are supported through their businesses, so they in turn would support the event yearly. John stressed on the importance of sponsors, as, without them, the PMT20 Cup would not be possible.
The GSCL Inc President also boasted that the PMT20 Cup is the only tournament that does not have a paid entrance fee.
“So, it’s free of cost, so we have to go and get sponsors to be part of the whole process. We are trying to promote cricket to the extreme, and in trying to promote cricket, we are hoping to attract a lot of persons based on the fact that it’s free. So, we hope a lot of people will use the opportunity to come and be part of the process,” he shared.
