Hampshire Hawks recently took part in the inaugural Global Super League in Guyana with four other teams from across the globe in late November and early December 2024.
The tournament featured five teams from across the globe – Hampshire (England), Guyana Amazon Warriors (West Indies), Rangpur Riders (Bangladesh), Victoria (Australia), and Lahore Qalandars (Pakistan). Each team played four group stage matches from 26 November-5 December with the final taking place on 6 December.
The five teams in the competition competed for a US$1million prize fund with all fixtures played at the Guyana National Stadium in Providence.
Hampshire Hawks GSL results:
Bowling coach Graeme Welch led the group with head coach Adi Birrell in South Africa.
The group was captained by Hampshire’s all-time leading wicket taker, Chris Wood, with James Vince unavailable due to being contracted to play in the Abu Dhabi T10. This was Chris Wood's first taste of captaincy in a tournament. Read the full article about Chris Wood by clicking here.
John Turner was unavailable, as he was away on an England Lions’ tour of South Africa during the competition, but fast bowler Sonny Baker impressed on his debut in a Hampshire shirt regularly hitting 90 miles an hour, whilst batter Ali Orr returned to 1st XI action after fracturing his arm in the opening Vitality Blast match on 30 May.
Scott Currie was unavailable due to picking up a knee injury whilst on international duty with Scotland, however, he quickly became a star on social media via the brand-new Hawk Talk show.
