Exciting Pakistani opening batsman Saim Ayub will make his return to Guyana Amazon Warriors’ (GAW) colours this July, when the ExxonMobil Guyana Global Super League (GSL) T20 tournament is contested.

A senior official in the franchise has made this disclosure to this publication.

After missing out on T20 action with the Guyanese franchise in the 2024 season, Ayub would be making his long-awaited return for the first of two tournaments in which the Amazon Warriors would be competing this year.

Ayub had been a staple at the top of the Guyana Amazon Warriors’ batting lineup in 2023, racking up 478 runs in 13 matches to end as the Republic Bank Caribbean Premier League’s (CPL) second-highest run-scorer, second only to teammate Shai Hope, who had 481 runs.

A top score of 85 and an average of 43.45 had made Ayub one of the most loved and anticipated international talents on the Amazon Warriors’ lineup for local fans, and the franchise has been more than thrilled to disclose that he would be returning to again light up the Guyana National Stadium at Providence, East Bank Demerara (EBD) in a matter of months.

The ExxonMobil Guyana Global Super League (GSL) T20 is set to take centre stage in Guyana from July 10 to 18, 2025.
