In a significant development, a new T20 league is on the cards as Guyana is all set to launch the Global Super League, which will be played from November 26 to December 7. It will be a five-team competition, which is sanctioned by Cricket West Indies (CWI). 

The Caribbeans already have a Caribbean Premier League (CPL), which is successful and came to an end on Monday, October 7.  St Lucia Kings emerged victorious for the first time as the faf du Plessis-led side beat Guyana Amazon Warriors in the finals. 

Besides CWI, the government of Guyana have also shown support for this league and are also a "key stakeholder" in the competition, which has a prize money of US$1 million.

Interestingly, the format of the league is such that Guyana Amazon Warriors from the Caribbean Premier League (CPL) will be there, and four teams would be invited from established T20 teams from around the world. ESPNcricinfo reported that Hampshire, the three-time champions of England's T20 Blast, are among the invited teams.

There will be a total of 11 matches in the Global Super League T20, with each team playing four matches in the group stage. The top two teams will then progress to the final. All the matches will be played at the Guyana National Stadium in Providence.
