Big Man Cricket Guyana is expected to restart its Banks Beer/Maximum Vodka T25 tournament after getting approval from the National Covid-19 Task Force.

The tournament had come to a screeching halt last April due to the spike in the COVID-19 situation in Guyana which was further exasperated by the inclement weather and the new COVID variant.

At the end of the last round of play, Jai Hind Jaguars were leading the points table with a whopping 139 points from four matches followed by West Bank Warriors on 91 points from their three matches played.

Essequibo Eagles also played three matches and racked up 78 points and they are followed by GT Royal Rangers on 69 points from their four matches.

With a 40 percent of vaccinated spectators and all COVID-19 protocols strictly enforced, a release from the organisers indicated that it is “urging all teams and players to get themselves ready and recommence training for their next fixture which will be released shortly.

“The BMC Committee is currently in negotiations with the major sponsors on whether we should continue the competition from where we left off or quash the 2021 version and start afresh with a brand-new competition since several matches were seriously affected by the weather in the 2021 version of the BMC Banks Beer/Maximum Vodka tournament,” the release stated.
