Hobart Hurricanes XI brings Aussie flare to ExxonMobil Guyana GSL T20

Following the excitement of the Big Bash League (BBL|14) earlier this year, reigning champions the Hobart Hurricanes XI will compete in the ExxonMobil Guyana Global Super League (GSL) T20 this July, a missive from the organizing body indicated on Wednesday evening. As such, 4 of the 5 competing teams in this year’s tournament have already been unveiled.

The ExxonMobil GSL shared, “From July 10 to 18, 2025 in Guyana, the Hobart Hurricanes XI will compete in this T20 tournament against four other teams from around the globe, aiming to become the champions of the second iteration of the GSL.
“The timing of the tournament in the Caribbean allows the Hurricanes to send a strong team to the GSL, as it is being played during the Australian domestic offseason and starts after the Major League Cricket T20 competition in the United States.
“Hobart will become the second Australian team to play in this tournament, after Cricket Victoria finished second in last year’s competition, losing to Bangladeshi side the Rangpur Riders.
“Cricket Tasmania High Performance General Manager Salliann Beams is pleased to see the Hobart Hurricanes XI competing in this newly developed competition.
“The Guyana Global Super League provides our male playing group with another competition with real stakes to help prepare themselves for the rigours of the Australian domestic summer while continuing to develop their white-ball skills.
“With th1e international cricket calendar becoming increasingly more competitive, to be able to send a team to an overseas tournament in different conditions, against different opposition, will give our athletes a chance to test themselves further.
“Our squad, while not public yet, will have a good blend of top-end talent and provide playing opportunities to players who we view as important aspects of our organisation in the coming years,” said Beams.
“The announcement of the Hobart Hurricanes XI squad for the GSL in Guyana will be shared later this month.”
The Hobart Hurricanes XI joins defending champions Rangpur Riders, New Zealand’s Super smash Champions Central Stags and hosts Guyana Amazon Warriors (GAW) in this year’s ExxonMobil Guyana GSL T20.
The fifth competing team is expected to be unveiled soon.
The teams in this year’s tournament will be competing for a US$1M prize pool, and the action will take place at the Guyana National Stadium at Providence, East Bank Demerara (EBD).
