HISTORY will be created next year when the Georgetown Softball Cricket League (GSCL) Inc stages what it has dubbed a unification tournament.
The disclosure was made by GSCL Executive member and Tournament Director John Ramsingh during the launch of the second edition of the Vice-president T20 Softball Cup, held at the Muslim Youth Organisation (MYO) on Monday.
According to Ramsingh, who is also an international cricket commentator and head of FL Sports, “there will be one tournament with three titles at stake.
Ramsingh pointed out that the GSCL, organisers of the Prime Minister’s T20 Softball Cup and the Vice-President’s Cup is also promising the timely return of the President’s Cup Softball extravaganza in 2025.
Ramsingh disclosed that “instead of three independent tournaments there will be one tournament with the champions in the respective categories walking away with three titles.”
Ramsingh disclosed that the Unification Softball Tournament will be played in the usual window of the Prime Minister’s T20 Softball Cup which follows the final of the Caribbean Premier League (CPL) which will be hosted in Guyana at the end of September into early October.
He also assured that the prizes will be tripled, including the winning bounty as “this is just another innovative move by the GSCL to further grow the beautiful game of softball cricket in Guyana.”
Ramsingh also hinted that the Most Valuable Players stand chances of being awarded vehicles, a significant improvement from the motorcycles which are up for grabs in the upcoming Vice-president Softball Cup, set for the weekend of November 8-10.
