History
editGuyana joined the West Indies domestic structure in 1977, competing in the Federation Championships, in which they finished 4th out of 5 teams.[1] They competed again in the next edition of the tournament, 1980, winning two matches, against Grenada and Barbados.[2]
Guyana then did not compete in any tournaments until 2001, losing every match in their return season.[3] They have competed in most tournaments since, with a brief hiatus in 2006 and 2007, and joined the Twenty20 Blaze for its inaugural season in 2012.[4] In 2013, they reached the semi-finals of the T20 competition before losing to eventual winners Jamaica.[5] They achieved their best finish in the 50-over competition in 2014, reaching the final before losing to Jamaica.[6]
In the most recent season, 2023, Guyana finished as runners-up in the Twenty20 Blaze and finished 5th in the Super50 Cup.[7][8]
