This time we wrap up the Vipers’ participation in the ExxonMobil Guyana Global Super League (GSL) – both on and off the field.
We speak with Vipers CEO Phil Oliver about the successes and disappointments of the side’s campaign and we also hear from Alan Smith of NatureWave, one of the Vipers’ key partners in activities away from the tournament action.
The GSL was a five-team event that also featured the hosts and defending champions the Guyana Amazon Warriors from the Caribbean Premier League, the San Francisco Unicorns of the USA's Major League Cricket, the Lahore Qalandars from the Pakistan Super League and Australia’s Perth Scorchers XI from the Big Bash League and it was the first time the Vipers had played in a competition outside of the UAE.
Phil also looks ahead to the ILT20 Development Tournament, set for September, and Season 5 of the DP World ILT20 with the Vipers hoping to become the first side to win back-to-back titles.
