Toney further revealed that the tournament will also see players from the USA and one Brazilian recently signalled their intention to participate.
The tournament will carry a winner’s purse of US$1,400, while the team finishing second will pocket US$700. There’s also a US$100 prize for the Most Valuable Player (MVP) of the tournament.
“What I can say for certain is that Jamaica is very anxious to come to Guyana and the players here are also eagerly awaiting their arrival because of it was the Jamaicans who broke Guyana’s heart and snatched their Caribbean title from them in Mexico,” Toney said.
