Guyana Amazon Warriors Manager Leon Johnson unveils the ExxonMobil Guyana Global Super League championship trophy

The Guyana Amazon Warriors (GAW) have unveiled a star-studded team of local and international talents that will don their team’s outfit for this year’s second edition of the ExxonMobil Guyana Global Super League (GSL) T20.
The announcement came on Friday evening at the GAW’s Camp Street, Georgetown, Box Office, where this year’s instalment of the tournament was officially launched.
There, ExxonMobil Guyana County Manager for Public and Government Affairs, Matthew Scharf, expressed the company’s excitement at being the global event’s title sponsor once again.
“We were very excited to be part of the first-ever Global Super League last year, and we’re even more excited for this year, bringing champion teams from around the world and a bigger and better experience for the cricket players and all the fans here in Guyana. This is a really fantastic opportunity, both tonight and over the next month, to highlight the development of world-class sports tourism in Guyana. Cricket is leading the way, of course, but we’ve also seen and, in some cases, been able to sponsor events for squash, basketball and many others. So, we’re excited about the development of sports tourism in Guyana,” Scharf shared at Friday’s gathering.

He went on to add, “At ExxonMobil, we believe in the power of sport and national events to unite, and we’re committed to supporting these initiatives in Guyana. So, I’d like to say thank you to the Government of Guyana, to the Global Super League organisers, to all the other sponsors, several of whom are in the room, including especially the new sponsors this year. To Cricket West Indies and to all of the people who are helping make this tournament a possibility. We’re delighted to strengthen our connection to cricket and to the community here in Guyana, and we’re excited to celebrate cricket and share Guyana with the rest of the world.”
