The Hobart Hurricanes XI will participate in the Global Super League from July 10-18, 2025, in Guyana. This T20 tournament offers an opportunity during the Australian domestic offseason, following Major League Cricket in the US. Cricket Tasmania’s management is optimistic about player development and performance against international competition. The team lineup announcement is expected this month.
The Hobart Hurricanes XI is gearing up to compete in the Global Super League (GSL) this July, marking an exciting continuation of their journey post-BBL|14. From July 10 to 18, 2025, they’ll play in a T20 format tournament in Guyana. The Hurricanes will face off against four international teams, all vying for the championship in this second edition of the GSL.
This tournament happens at a perfect time for the Hurricanes since it’s scheduled during Australia’s domestic offseason. Notably, it starts just after the Major League Cricket T20 event wraps up in the United States. It’s a strategic opportunity for the team to stay competitive while Australian domestic leagues are on pause.
Hobart will follow in the footsteps of Cricket Victoria, the only other Australian team that participated last year and took a runner-up finish, narrowly losing to the Rangpur Riders from Bangladesh. This will be a significant test for the Hurricanes, as they aim to establish themselves on an international stage.
Salliann Beams, the High-Performance General Manager at Cricket Tasmania, expressed her enthusiasm about the opportunity. She emphasized the importance of this competition for player development, especially during the offseason. “The GSG provides our male playing group with another competition with real stakes to help prepare themselves for the rigours of the Australian domestic summer while continuing the development of their white-ball skills,” she mentioned.
Beams also highlighted the increasing competition in the international cricket calendar. Being able to send a team overseas to face varied conditions and opponents is valuable in honing their skills in shorter formats. “Our squad will have a good blend of top-end talent and provide playing opportunities to players we see as integral to our future,” she added.
Fans and stakeholders can look forward to the official announcement of the Hobart Hurricanes XI squad for this much-anticipated tournament, which will be released later this month. The anticipation is building as the team prepares to take on this new challenge in the Caribbean.
The Hobart Hurricanes are set to make waves in the upcoming Global Super League this July, marking an important step for player development and competition during the Australian offseason. As the second Australian team to join this tournament, the Hurricanes aim for championship glory while nurturing their talent in an international arena. With the squad yet to be announced, there’s much excitement ahead.
