Australia’s BBL Champions Hobart Hurricanes to compete at Global Super League

Following the excitement of BBL|14, the Hobart Hurricanes XI will compete in the Global Super League this July.

From 10 – 18 July 2025 in Guyana, the Hobart Hurricanes XI will compete in this T20 tournament against four other teams from around the globe, aiming to become the champions of the second iteration of the GSL.

The timing of the tournament in the Caribbean allows the Hurricanes to send a strong team to the GSL as it is being played during the Australian domestic offseason and starts after the Major League Cricket T20 competition in the United States.

Hobart will become the second Australian team to play in this tournament, after Cricket Victoria finished second in last year’s competition, losing to Bangladeshi side the Rangpur Riders.

Cricket Tasmania High Performance General Manager, Salliann Beams, is pleased to see the Hobart Hurricanes XI competing in this newly developed competition.

“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 to develop their white-ball skills.

“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.

“Our squad, while not public yet, will have a good blend of top-end talent and provide playing opportunities to players who we view as important aspects of our organisation in the coming years,” said Beams.

The announcement of the Hobart Hurricanes XI squad for the GSL in Guyana will be shared later this month.

The Global Super League is an annual T20 cricket tournament hosted in Guyana, bringing together teams from top cricketing nations.

The 2025 tournament will feature five teams competing in 11 thrilling matches, all held at the Guyana National Stadium, Providence, from 10 to 18 July 2025.

With a focus on delivering high-quality cricket and unforgettable fan experiences, the GSL aims to promote the sport while enhancing Guyana’s reputation on the global stage. (GSLT20)
