Guyana Amazon Warriors CPL Team Explained
A guide to the Guyana Amazon Warriors — the CPL's most consistent franchise and multiple title-winners from South America's cricket hub.
About Guyana Amazon Warriors
The Guyana Amazon Warriors represent Guyana in the Caribbean Premier League. One of six founding CPL franchises in 2013, they wear green and yellow — colours that celebrate Guyana's lush Amazon hinterland. Guyana is the only South American country with a major cricket franchise, making the Warriors a unique cricketing outpost in the continent.
CPL Championships
The Amazon Warriors won back-to-back CPL titles in 2019 and 2020, ending years of near-misses. They had previously reached multiple finals without winning, making their eventual championship triumph especially celebrated. Their 2019 title in particular was comprehensive, with Shimron Hetmyer's batting central to their success.
Providence Stadium — Home Ground
The Warriors play home matches at Providence Stadium in Guyana — a modern, purpose-built cricket venue with a capacity of approximately 15,000. The stadium is the main international cricket venue for the country and plays host to Caribbean regional events beyond the CPL.
Key Players and Contributors
Shimron Hetmyer has been the franchise's premier batting talent. Chris Green, Naveen-ul-Haq, and Imran Tahir have contributed to their bowling depth across seasons. International overseas stars including Shoaib Malik, Devon Conway, and Shai Hope have also featured prominently.
