Global Super League set to return from July
The third edition of the Global Super League (GSL) is set to return for its third edition from July 23 to August 1, at the Guyana National Stadium, Providence, organisers announced today. Powerhouse franchises from across the cricketing world had taken part in the tournament in its last two editions. Bangladesh Premier League (BPL) franchise Rangpur Riders won the trophy in the first edition of the tournament by beating Australia's Cricket Victoria in a thrilling final, cementing their place in GSL history.
Rangpur also were close to clinch the title in the second edition but eventually lost to Guyana Amazon Warriors in the final. Sir Clive Lloyd, Chairman of the ExxonMobil Guyana Global Super League, expressed his enthusiasm for the upcoming tournament: "It gives me immense pride, as Chairman of the ExxonMobil Guyana Global Super League, to officially announce the dates for our third edition. In just two years, the GSL has established itself as a truly global club competition, showcasing outstanding talent and attracting tremendous support both locally and internationally.
"Last year's final, played before a packed stadium, demonstrated the passion for cricket in Guyana and the strength of this tournament. From July 23 to August 1, we look forward to welcoming five outstanding teams to Providence once again, where they will compete fiercely for the title and a US$1 million prize purse. The GSL is about excellence, opportunity and uniting fans from around the world through the game we love."
