President Ali unveils ExxonMobil Guyana GSL T20 Trophy
The Championship Trophy for the inaugural ExxonMobil Guyana Global Super League (GSL) T20 – design of which has been inspired by Guyana’s 276 discovered waterfalls, including the magnificent Kaieteur Falls, the largest single drop waterfall in the world — has been unveiled by none other than President Dr. Mohamed Irfaan Ali himself.
Earlier this week, he showed the GSL T20 Trophy to Indian Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi at a cricket event during his State Visit to Guyana. Coincidentally, this GSL T20 Championship Trophy has been designed by Indian company Loka Lifestyle.

Also present to witness the trophy’s unveiling were legends of the game Sir Clive Lloyd and Alvin Kallicharran, alongside a number of other former and current players, including a few who would be suiting up for the Guyana Amazon Warriors next week.
Sir Clive Lloyd, Chairman of GSL, has said: “The Global Super League is South America’s first stand-alone T20 tournament, and is a fantastic opportunity to showcase beautiful Guyana to the rest of the world. With that in mind, it is very fitting that the trophy highlights Kaieteur Falls, one of the most stunning landmarks in the region. We are looking forward to seeing which of the five competing teams will claim the trophy on 6th December.”
The ExxonMobil Guyana Global Super League, which will see teams from Australia, Bangladesh, England, Guyana and Pakistan competing for the trophy and a US$1million prize pool,
will bowl off on Tuesday, November 26, and last until Friday, December 6, with games being played exclusively at the Guyana National Stadium at Providence, East Bank Demerara (EBD). The first game of the tournament will see local franchise Guyana Amazon Warriors taking on Pakistan’s Lahore Qalandars.
Tickets are available in Georgetown, Essequibo and Berbice.
