The Guyana Amazon Warriors have the most wins, in terms of matches in the history of CPL, but they are without a title. Tahir said that the team will give their best and perhaps, this is the year when the Warriors will win.
“That will always be in your mind, the reason I say one game at a time is because we had won 11 games and we lost the finals, and I was part of that team. And then, this is something we need to get over our line. Results not in our hand, all we can do is try. That I can promise, ad my team will give our best shot, and this is probably the year we want to achieve what we want to achieve,” Tahir explained.
