The Hobart Hurricanes XI will participate in the Global Super League in Guyana from July 10 to 18, 2025. This event coincides with Australia’s domestic offseason and follows Major League Cricket T20. Cricket Tasmania’s Salliann Beams highlights the tournament’s importance for player development. The squad announcement is expected later this month.
The Hobart Hurricanes XI is gearing up to compete in the Global Super League (GSL) this upcoming July, following the thrills of the recently concluded Big Bash League (BBL|14). Scheduled from July 10 to July 18, 2025, the tournament is set to take place in Guyana and will feature participation from four other teams worldwide, as the Hurricanes strive for championship glory in this exciting second edition of the GSL.
The timing of the GSL aligns perfectly as it falls during Australia’s domestic offseason, making it an opportune moment for the Hurricanes to send a competitive squad. The event follows shortly after the Major League Cricket T20 competition in the United States, allowing players to gain valuable experience on an international platform.
With this participation, Hobart will become the second Australian team to engage in the Global Super League. The previous year saw Cricket Victoria reach the finals, where they ended up in the runner-up position against the Rangpur Riders from Bangladesh.
Salliann Beams, the General Manager of High Performance at Cricket Tasmania, expressed enthusiasm about this development, highlighting how essential this tournament is for athletes in their systems. Beams noted, “The Guyana Global Super League provides our male playing group with another competition with real stakes to help prepare themselves for the rigours of the Australian domestic summer while continuing the development of their white-ball skills.”
She further elaborated on the tournament’s significance, stating, “With the international cricket calendar becoming increasingly more competitive, to be able to send a team to an overseas tournament in different conditions, against different opposition, will give our athletes a chance to test themselves further in the shorter format of the game.”
Details regarding the composition of the Hurricanes XI squad will be announced later this month, with Beams assuring that the team will strike a balance of seasoned talent and emerging players seen as vital for the organization’s future. There is an air of excitement as both players and fans eagerly anticipate the upcoming tournament in Guyana.
The Hobart Hurricanes XI is set to make a mark in the Global Super League this July, providing players an opportunity for continued development during the Australian offseason. With a strong emphasis on competitive play to refine their skills, the team aims for success against a diverse range of international opponents. The composition of the squad will soon be revealed, and anticipation builds for the tournament.
