“ExxonMobil Guyana has a long history of supporting cricket in Guyana. They are an ideal title sponsor – we appreciate their continued investment in Guyana,” said Sir Clive Lloyd, Chairman of the Global Super League.

The Global Super League will feature the Guyana Amazon Warriors and four other established T20 cricket teams from around the world vying for US$1 million in prize money. Each team will play four matches, with the top two teams progressing to the final.

“We are thrilled to deepen our commitment to cricket and the community in Guyana through our partnership with the Global Super League. We look forward to an electrifying series of matches and celebrating the spirit of cricket with fans around the world,” said ExxonMobil Guyana President, Alistair Routledge.
