Hobart Hurricanes to Join Global Super League in Guyana This July

The Hobart Hurricanes will compete in the Global Super League in July 2025 in Guyana during the Australian offseason. This marks Australia’s second entry into the GSL, aiming for championship success after Cricket Victoria’s second place last year. Salliann Beams emphasized the development opportunities for players. Squad details will be announced later this month.

The Hobart Hurricanes have announced their participation in the Global Super League (GSL) this July. Taking place from July 10 to 18, 2025, in Guyana, the Hurricanes will compete in this T20 event against four other international teams. Their goal is to claim the championship title in the tournament’s second edition.

The timing of the GSL is ideal for the Hurricanes, coinciding with the Australian domestic offseason. It also starts after the Major League Cricket T20 competition in the United States, thereby allowing the Hurricanes to field a strong contingent. This will mark the second instance of an Australian team taking part in the tournament, following Cricket Victoria’s second-place finish last year to the Rangpur Riders from Bangladesh.

Salliann Beams, General Manager of High Performance at Cricket Tasmania, expressed enthusiasm about the GSL offering local athletes an offseason tournament. “The Guyana Global Super League provides our male playing group with another competition with real stakes,” she stated, emphasizing the opportunity for improvement in their white-ball skills.

With the international cricket calendar intensifying, Beams articulated the significance of competing in diverse conditions and against varied opponents. The experience is aimed at better preparing players for the upcoming Australian domestic summer.

Furthermore, Beams mentioned that while the squad list for the GSL has not yet been made public, it will feature a mix of established talent and emerging players who are considered vital for the future of the organization. The final announcement regarding the Hobart Hurricanes XI for the GSL will be made later this month, creating anticipation among fans and stakeholders alike.

The Hobart Hurricanes are set to make their mark at the Global Super League in Guyana this July, aiming to capitalize on the offseason and refine their skills. With an eye on development and competition, the upcoming tournament is expected to provide valuable experience. Salliann Beams has highlighted the importance of such international engagements, which could benefit the team’s future prospects. Fans should look out for the official squad announcement later this month.
