MANAGER of the Guyana Amazon Warriors, Omar Khan, has said that home fans’ support will be important to the Warriors for their home games in the 2015 Hero Caribbean Premier League (CPL) beginning next Wednesday at the Guyana National Stadium, Providence.The Warriors will play Tallawahs on July 15, St Lucia Zouks on July 17, Barbados Tridents on July 18 and Trinidad and Tobago Red Steel on July 21.
“Unlike the past two years, where the Guyana Amazon Warriors started their campaign at home, this year we have been on the road with matches in Barbados, St Lucia, St Kitts/Nevis and Jamaica where the home teams have received tremendous support; so we are looking forward to the tremendous support from all of Guyana when we return to play at Providence,” Khan said.
Khan, the former West Indies team manager, also expressed confidence that the Amazon Warriors will bounce back into contention for the playoffs, in their crucial home matches.
Khan is urging local fans to secure their tickets early as he anticipates sold-out crowds for all four matches.
Tickets are going fast so fans are urged to take the opportunity to get the remaining tickets early.
Tickets are being sold at the CPL Central Office on Middle Street as well as the Guyana National Stadium Ticket Office, COURTS stores in Georgetown, Berbice, Parika and Linden and at Ramdhan Distribution located at 19 Princess Elizabeth Road, New Amsterdam, a few buildings from Berbice High School (BHS).
Currently the Warriors sit on four points from five games, and will travel to Jamaica to oppose the Jamaica Tallawahs tomorrow at Sabina Park before returning to Guyana for their final four preliminary games.
The team is expected home Monday evening.
