Terrible timings, zero crowds and low scoring pitches

Recipe for disaster

Without Indian teams in it this league won't accomplish much

 

[Bilal Ahmad15]

what is this meant to be?


like a champions league?

 

[mango_bite77]

No team from India, SA, NZ and SL

Adding 1 team from each nation would make it more interesting. Probably call it a League t20 WC rather than Global league.

It's Guyana - they've got some oil money to throw around now. Exxon are even sponsoring the tournament haha

Their pitches have always been slow, low mudbeds producing attritional, low scoring contests.

However Barbados and St Lucia typically produce excellent wickets.
