The tro­phy for Exxon­Mo­bil Guyana Glob­al Su­per League (GSL) has been un­veiled by Guyana’s Pres­i­dent Dr Mo­ham­mad Ir­fan Ali and shown to the In­di­an Prime Min­is­ter Shri Naren­dra Mo­di at a crick­et event which was part of the In­di­an leader’s state vis­it to Guyana.

GSL Chair­man, Sir Clive Lloyd and Guyanese crick­et great Alvin Kallichar­ran were al­so in at­ten­dance for the cer­e­mo­ny.

The tro­phy has been in­spired by Guyana’s 276 dis­cov­ered wa­ter­falls in­clud­ing the mag­nif­i­cent Kai­eteur Falls, the largest sin­gle-drop wa­ter­fall in the world and has been de­signed by In­di­an com­pa­ny Lo­ka Lifestyle.

Sir Clive Lloyd, Chair­man of GSL, said: “The Glob­al Su­per League is South Amer­i­ca’s first stand­alone 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 Glob­al Su­per League will see teams from Aus­tralia, Bangladesh, Eng­land, Guyana and Pak­istan com­pet­ing for the tro­phy and a US$ 1 mil­lion prize pool. The tour­na­ment runs from No­vem­ber 26 to De­cem­ber 6 with all match­es tak­ing place at the Guyana Na­tion­al Sta­di­um, Prov­i­dence.

The five teams for the 2024 tour­na­ment will be Guyana Ama­zon War­riors, Hamp­shire Hawks, La­hore Qa­lan­dars, Rang­pur Rid­ers and Vic­to­ria.
