A new tournament in the format of T20 cricket, called the Global Super League, will make its debut in Guyana from November 26 to December 7. The tournament has been sanctioned by Cricket West Indies (CWI) and is reportedly fully supported by the government of Guyana, one of the staunch proponents. The tournament will have a prize pool of US$ 1 million. This will be the very first independent cricket tournament held in South America. Guyana Amazon Warriors from the Caribbean Premier League will also be a part of this tournament, along with four of the world's best-established teams in T20. Among them is Hampshire, three-time champion in England's T20 Blast. Clive Llyod said: "The passion for cricket in Guyana rivals that of fans anywhere, and we look forward to celebrating our love of the game and our rich and vibrant country with both those visiting in person and watching from around the world." The league will have 11 matches, where four games are scheduled to be played by the teams in group stages. Teams finishing at the first and second positions will qualify into the final. It will also be an annual affair with teams being called by the franchise for each season. All the matches are planned to be held at the Guyana National Stadium in Providence.

Cricket is part of our cultural history, it is that unifying force, part of our heritage and an integral part of our strategic objective in economic diversification with a strong emphasis on tourism."
