The Global Super League T20 trophy draws its inspiration from Guyana’s deep commitment to nature and sustainability. At its heart lies the majestic Kaieteur — an iconic symbol that perfectly embodies this dedication.

The breathtaking Kaieteur not only serve as the centerpiece of the trophy but also represent the enduring spirit of cricket intertwined with the preservation of Guyana’s rich and vibrant natural beauty.

Simply put, this unique design celebrates both the excitement of the game and the vital importance of environmental stewardship, reflecting the Global Super League’s vision of sporting excellence harmonized with ecological responsibility.

Sanjay Sharma, the founder of Loka Lifestyle Pvt. Ltd. Who also designed the ICC Awards, explained, “While researching for inspiration for the GSL trophy design, what struck me was the awareness of and importance placed on nature in Guyana. The country’s more than 300 waterfalls simply had to be part of the design. I felt this trophy needed to be alive like the waterfalls and bring joy to all. What better way than to have the waterfalls represented by one in the middle of the two cricket stumps?”
