Wait 5 sec.

West Indies players Shamar Joseph, Kyle Mayers and Ronsford Beaton are among a fleet of talented cricketers to feature in ‘Super Sunday’ for the Essequibo Zone in the Kares One Guyana T10 Tapeball Blast 2025.Instead of the initially scheduled Saturday and Sunday, all the action will be on Sunday (July 27), with the hunt to crown the final zone champion.Beaton, who played two One-Day Internationals for the West Indies, leads the Avinash All-Stars on turf.The All-Stars will have the big-hitting all-rounder of Mayers and talented players such as Thaddeus Lovell, Carlos LaRose, Ashmead Nedd and Steven Sankar.The other heavyweight on paper would be 2024 national semi-finalists, Mahdia (Movements Family), who have in their ranks, West Indies pace sensation, Shamar Joseph.Joseph was a key figure in the success of the inaugural champions, Eccles All-Stars in 2023, and certainly adds potency to Mahdia, who will call upon other seasoned campaigners such as Ricardo Adams, Ershaad Ali, Daniel Seegobin, and Suresh Dhanai.While on paper those two may peek the interest of title contenders in the zone, a skim through other 14 squads breathes life of young and promising talents from the region such as Jathaniel Nurse for Essequibo Jaguars, Ronaldo Jeffrey for Bartica Royals among others.Some seasoned campaigners in national players such as the Fredricks brothers, Norwayne and Norman, will also be on show as a formidable softball unit, Ariel, will field a team.The rising stars of Renegades Cricket Club are another bunch to keep on the radar, which makes this zone too close to call.Matches in Essequibo will be held at Pomona Ground, Richmond Ballfield, Hampton Court and Anna Regina ground.Montra Jaguars (Berbice), Eccles All-Stars (East Bank Demerara/West Demerara), and Titans All-Stars (East Coast/ Georgetown) are the three-zone champions, and attention is now on who will fill the final spot.The participating teams for the Essequibo zone are: Aurora Knight Riders, Team Evolution, Team Royals, Renegades Cricket Club, The United Crew, Mahdia (Movements Family), Matarkai CPG, Bartica Royals, Moruca Super Strikers, Queenstown (Ariel XI), Inevitable XI, Avinash All-Stars, and Essequibo Jaguars.Adding to the excitement, admission to all venues throughout the tournament is free, and matches commence at 09:00h.Beyond the bragging rights, significant financial rewards are also on offer. The zone champion will receive a handsome $300,000, while the runner-up will receive $100,000.However, the stakes get even higher at the national final, where teams will vie for an additional $1.7 million grand prize.The national runner-up will pocket $700,000 along with a trophy and medals, and even the losing semi-finalists will be rewarded with $300,000 each.The national finals will be on Sunday, August 3, at the National Stadium, Providence.Individual brilliance won’t go unnoticed either, with a host of prizes up for grabs, including MVP ($150,000 + motorcycle), Most Runs ($100,000 + trophy + TV), Most Wickets ($100,000 + trophy + TV), Man-of-the-National Final ($75,000 + trophy + TV), Highest Strike Rate ($35,000), and Best Economy ($35,000).The Kares One Guyana T10 Tapeball Blast has garnered support from: Kares Engineering Inc, the Office of the President, the Ministry of Culture, Youth and Sport, KFC Guyana, Star Rentals, Banks DIH, ENet, Guyana Lottery Company, Regal Stationery and Computer Centre, Impressions, Avinash Contracting and Scrap Metal, Shawn’s Mini Mart, Giftland Group of Companies, Kris Jagdeo Construction Company, Montra Restaurant & Lounge, Windsor Estates, The New Doctor’s Clinic, GuyOil, ANSA McAL, SuperBet Guyana, Digital Technology, Camille’s Academy, Navin Construction, Demerara Mutual Life Insurance, Continental Transportation, and Environmental & Technical Solutions. The post Beaton, Kyle Mayers, Shamar Joseph to feature in Essequibo zone for Kares T10 appeared first on News Room Guyana.
