Guyana Amazon Warriors at the Global Super League 2026: squad, fixtures, and how to watch worldwide
By Duane Martin · Cricket Daily
The Global Super League returns to Providence, and the hosts arrive as kings of the castle. Guyana Amazon Warriors are the defending GSL champions, having lifted the 2025 title on home soil, and in 2026 they chase back-to-back crowns in front of one of the loudest crowds in world cricket.
Veteran leg-spinner Imran Tahir captains a side loaded with West Indian and Guyanese firepower, from Shimron Hetmyer and Rovman Powell to Romario Shepherd and Gudakesh Motie, plus overseas names like Mohammad Nabi and Rahmanullah Gurbaz. Every game is broadcast around the world, including live on A Sports HD in Pakistan.
Here is the full squad, the fixtures, and where to watch.
When do Guyana Amazon Warriors play at GSL 2026?
The Warriors play four group games, all at their Providence Stadium home. They open against San Francisco Unicorns on July 23, then face Desert Vipers on July 25, Lahore Qalandars on July 26 and Perth Scorchers XI on July 29. The team that tops the round-robin table goes straight to the August 1 final, with a Qualifier between second and third on July 31.
Who captains the Warriors, and where can fans watch?
Imran Tahir captains the side. Beyond Pakistan, where the tournament is live on A Sports HD, the GSL is broadcast across the Caribbean, USA, Canada, Australia, Bangladesh, New Zealand, India and more, with a free stream on the official GSL YouTube channel in territories without a broadcast deal.
Hosts and defending champions
Guyana Amazon Warriors are the beating heart of this tournament. After years of near-misses in the Caribbean Premier League, the franchise finally tasted title glory by winning the 2025 Global Super League at Providence, beating Rangpur Riders in the final. Now they want to make it two in a row on home turf.
The squad leans heavily on a familiar Guyanese and West Indian core. Shimron Hetmyer and Rovman Powell provide the middle-order muscle, Romario Shepherd and Keemo Paul offer all-round balance, and Gudakesh Motie leads the spin alongside captain Imran Tahir. Johnson Charles adds an explosive option at the top, with local talents Quentin Sampson and Jonathan Van Lange getting their moment on the big stage.
The overseas group is high class: Tahir and Dwaine Pretorius from South Africa, Afghanistan pair Mohammad Nabi and Rahmanullah Gurbaz, and Pakistan wicketkeeper-batter Muhammad Haris. Backed by a packed, cricket-mad Providence crowd, the Warriors go in as one of the favourites.
