The Global Super League (GSL) is one of the prominent cross-T20 leagues, featuring the best teams from illustrious domestic T20 tournaments across the world. In the second edition of GSL, the acclaimed Big Bash League (BBL) 2024-25 winner, Hobart Hurricanes, is also participating, besides Dubai Capitals, Central Districts, Guyana Amazon Warriors, and Rangpur Riders.
The trend for cross-league-based franchise competition gained momentum with the GSL. This T20 league is like a ‘Club World Cup’, representing a unique tournament in cricket as the finest teams from several nations compete, similar to what happens in the FIFA Club World Cup. The GSL also stands as a marketing opportunity for players to become visible for selection in other renowned T20 leagues such as the Indian Premier League (IPL) and South Africa 20 (SA20), eventually paving the way for International selection.
The rise of a dedicated T20 league in the West Indies has promoted the exposure of cricket, with fans admiring rejuvenation and infrastructure development. The first edition of GSL in 2024 received positive feedback from fans who witnessed the Rangpur Riders lifting the coveted trophy in the first edition at Providence Stadium, Guyana. This venue has cemented its place for scouting emerging cricket talents who will fight once again in the intense clashes to prove a point.
