Match Preview: Hampshire Men v Durham, Rothesay County Championship
Hampshire Men return Rothesay County Championship action against Durham at Utilita Bowl over May Bank Holiday weekend
Hampshire Hawks will participate in the inaugural Global Super League in Guyana.
The tournament features five teams from across the globe – Hampshire (England), Guyana Amazon Warriors (West Indies), Rangpur Riders (Bangladesh), Victoria (Australia), and Lahore Qalandars (Pakistan). Each team will play four group stage matches from 26 November-6 December with the final taking place on 7 December.
Guyana is a beautiful country with a huge passion for cricket, their ambition to become a global sporting destination is evident through their investment in launching an all-new T20 tournament. The Global Super League is such an exciting concept; international club competition has proven itself to be successful across other sports and has been lacking in cricket for some time.
Giles White, Director of Men's Cricket
The players are looking forward to testing their skills in a different climate against teams from some of the world’s most competitive leagues and I know our fans will be delighted to see us back in yellow, competing for another T20 title.
Cricket is becoming a truly global sport and we are embracing the opportunities this presents. It can be challenging to innovate within a crowded market but Guyana really are leading the way in supporting the creation of a franchise tournament that will engage cricket fans from across the world.
Bowling coach Graeme Welch will lead the group with head coach Adi Birrell in South Africa.
The five teams will be competing for a US$1million prize fund with all fixtures being played at the Guyana National Stadium in Providence.
We are looking forward to welcoming the teams to our beautiful country where we are sure the action on the field will be fantastic. These are five well known cricketing entities and we know that their fans from around the world will be tuning in to see them compete for the inaugural GSL title.
Sir Clive Lloyd, Global Super League Chairman
