The Guyana Amazon Warriors have bolstered their squad for the upcoming Global Super League 2025 by signing Pakistan’s stylish left-handed batter Saud Shakeel. The experienced top-order batsman brings composure and tactical strength to the Warriors’ lineup ahead of the highly anticipated tournament, which begins on July 10 at the Guyana National Stadium in Providence.
Saud Shakeel, 29, joins as part of the franchise’s overseas player contingent and becomes one of several Pakistani cricketers set to feature in this year’s GSL. Renowned for his classical technique and temperament, particularly against spin bowling, Shakeel’s skills are expected to be a significant asset on the slow, turning pitches of Guyana.
The move comes after an impressive domestic season for Shakeel, where he led the Quetta Gladiators to the final of PSL X. Although his team finished as runners-up, his leadership and batting performances drew widespread praise.
By adding Saud Shakeel, the Guyana Amazon Warriors aim to introduce balance and versatility to a team already stacked with explosive hitters and local talent. His ability to anchor innings and build partnerships makes him a key figure in navigating high-pressure situations throughout the tournament.
The Global Super League 2025 will be hosted entirely in Guyana, providing home-ground advantage and strong fan backing for the Warriors. Saud Shakeel’s inclusion underlines the franchise’s strategy to blend power with control as they prepare to challenge for the title.
With the tournament just weeks away, Saud Shakeel’s arrival marks a strategic acquisition that enhances the Warriors’ chances of success in the second edition of the Global Super League.
