The Guyana Amazon Warriors have made a significant move by signing three prominent West Indies cricketers for the upcoming ExxonMobil Guyana Global Super League. The trio, consisting of Mark Deyal, Shamar Springer, and Roston Chase, will join the team as they prepare for the inaugural tournament scheduled to take place from November 26 to December 7.
This highly anticipated Super League will see the Amazon Warriors compete against four other franchises from around the globe, all vying for an impressive grand prize of $1 million. The competing teams include Hampshire Hawks, Lahore Qalanders, Rangpur Riders, and Victoria, promising an exciting showcase of cricket talent.
Roston Chase, who recently showcased his skills with the St Lucia Kings in the 2024 Republic Bank Caribbean Premier League, is expected to be a key player for the Amazon Warriors. Chase had an outstanding performance throughout the tournament, particularly in the final, where he scored 39 runs off just 22 balls, leading his team to victory against the Amazon Warriors.
Shamar Springer also enjoyed a breakthrough season with the Antigua and Barbuda Falcons, finishing as the team’s leading wicket-taker with an impressive total of 12 wickets. His addition to the Amazon Warriors is anticipated to bolster their bowling attack significantly.
Mark Deyal was set to play for the Trinbago Knight Riders earlier this year, but an unfortunate injury kept him from participating in the tournament. Now, with the opportunity to showcase his talents in the Super League, Deyal will be eager to make a mark.
The Amazon Warriors will also benefit from the availability of several regional core players, including Shimron Hetmyer, Keemo Paul, Romario Shepherd, and Shai Hope, the captain of the West Indies One-Day International team. This strong lineup positions the Amazon Warriors as serious contenders for the championship title.
