The Caribbean Premier League is one of the most prominent T20 leagues in the World. It started in 2013 and has so far hosted 10 seasons successfully. The 11th edition is all set to begin on August 16 (Wednesday). It will kick off with a match between the Saint Lucia Kings and the Jamaica Tallawahs in Gros Islet. Jamaica won the last edition, beating the Barbados Royals in the final.
Thus, they will enter the competition as the defending champions. Guyana Amazon Warriors is one of the six franchises to take part in the CPL. They made their debut in 2013 and are the unluckiest team in CPL history. Notably, they have played in the most numbers of CPL finals. This team has been part of five CPL finals in 2013, 2014, 2016, 2018, and 2019 but is still searching for its maiden title.
Guyana Amazon Warriors 2023 Squad
Guyana Amazon Warriors is based on Guyana city in the West Indies. The home stadium of this team is Providence Stadium. Shimron Hetmyer is the vice captain of the team, while the captain is yet to be decided. On the other hand, Rayon Griffith is the head coach of the team. Guyana made the playoffs last season but ended up in fourth place.
The franchise is eagerly waiting for their maiden CPL win, which they haven’t done yet despite coming up so close five times. There are some good players on the team this season, which can make a big impact. Apart from Hetmyer, Shai Hope, Chandrapaul Hemraj, and Rahmanullah Gurbaz will form a strong top order in the team.
The likes of Keemo Paul, Odean Smith, and Dwaine Pretorius will be the key pace-bowling all-rounders who can win games with both bat and ball. Romario Shepherd, Imran Tahir, Junior Sinclair, and Kevin Sinclair will be the bowling superstars on the team. Though one can’t find big names on the team’s sheet but this team can really surprise this season.
