Following is a congratulatory message from the Guyana Amazon Warriors on the victory of the Men’s, Women’s and Under-19 West Indies Cricket Teams in the ICC World T20 Tournaments:
The Franchise Owner, Management and members of the Guyana Amazon Warriors Caribbean Premier League (CPL) Team extend its heartiest congratulations to the West Indies Men’s team on emerging as Champions with their heart stopping, spectacular and fantastic victory over England in the ICC World T20 2016 Tournament.
That several players on the team were members of Guyana Amazon Warriors over its past two seasons makes the team’s success even more satisfying. In winning the trophy for an unprecedented second time, the West Indies T-20 team has demonstrated it can proudly maintain the tradition of its illustrious predecessors.
We also extend just as effusive congratulations to the West Indies Women’s team for emerging victorious in their ICC T20 World Cup Tournament in the same trademark West Indian style of passionate cricket.
Finally, we would be remiss not to cite the win of the West Indies Under 19 in their ICC T20 World Cup Tournament for leading the way to ignite the spark of West Indian cricketing victories in 2016 . As both the Senior Men’s and Women’s teams took pains to mention at every stage of their triumphant tournaments, the victory of the youths inspired and challenged them to follow suit. Several of the players in the Under 19 team were also members of the Guyana Amazon Warriors as part of our commitment to nurturing and developing West Indies Cricket.
Once again we of the Guyana Amazon Warriors salute our three winning teams for bringing our Caribbean nation together as only Cricket can.
We in the Carribean should honour and fete all our Carribean cricketers for this magnificent sweep of the T20 World Cup.I doubt this will be equaled in decades to come, if ever. Let our heroes know, how much these victories mean to us. Do not wait on the WICB to do this, if they even bother, let our Goverments honour them, in true Carribean fashion.
