The Mc Gill Super Stars Sports Club previously toured Barbados in 1994, 1995, 1996 and 2022, and decided that a tour to Barbados is long overdue.
The tour was made possible through the generosity of some prominent businessmen, former members of the club, current members of the club, and residents of Canal #1.

In an exclusive interview with Sudesh Persaud, captain of the McGill Super Stars Sports Club, the skipper mentioned that he is very confident in the abilities of his unit and thinks they can return to Guyana without losing a single match in Barbados.
He also stated that the pitches in Barbados are a whole lot different from those in Guyana, and players would have to adapt to the conditions as quickly as possible if they are going to have a positive impact for the club.
The Mc Gill Super Stars Sports Club will boast two former Guyana Under-19 players in Travis Persaud and Narendra Persaud, and two current national athletes in Sachin Balgobin and Nityanand Mathura. Off-spinner Abdul Razack has been one of the go-to bowlers for Mc Gill over the years, and he will be one to look out for in Barbados. Young leg spinner Ganesh Puran is also one of the players who might have a big impact in Barbados.
Veteran Sudesh Persaud (C), an experienced campaigner in the set-up, is expected to share his knowledge and expertise with the young and talented group.
Mc Gill squad reads: Sudesh Persaud (C), Travis Persaud, Sachin Balgobin, Nityanand Mathura, Shafiek Deen, Adesh Mohan, Abdul Razack, Matthew Salim, Ganesh Puran, Joshua Rahaman, Taijnauth Jadunauth, Narendra Persaud, Navindra Persaud and Joshua Ferrell.
