The City side, known at the Gizmos and Gadgets Georgetown Pitbulls, will be keen to dethrone defending Champions Hotel Tower West Demerara Cavaliers and their squad includes five players with West Indies senior team experience.
The Georgetown selectors will hope that Ramnaresh Sarwan, left out of the West Indies first Test squad due to injury is fit enough to play on July 4 while Travis Dowlin and Shivnarine Chanderpaul, who joins Berbician Narsingh Deonarine as the three Guyanese in the Regional team to oppose South Africa in the first Test from Thursday in Trinidad, are also included.

Steven Jacobs and Trevon Griffith are also included while Tyrell Tull will challenge National Keeper Derwin Christian for the gloves in a strong city squad which also include Shemroy Barrington, Christopher Barnwell and Dion Ferrier.
Sarwan younger brother Ravi Sarwan and off-spinner Collis Butts are also in the 27-man squad in which the only real surprise is 19-year-old left-arm unorthodox spinner Totaram Bishun.
Left-arm spinner Andre Stoll, who is expected to leave on July 6 with the National under-19 side, is one of 5 fast bowlers included. Trevon Garraway is the only pacer with First-Class experience in the squad although Police quickie Trevor Benn toured with Guyana during this year’s Regional first-class series but did not play a game.
The team will be coached by 38-year-old former Guyana medium pacer Roddy Lovell, and Managed by 43-year-old Neil Barry.
All members of the 27-man squad with the exception of those on West Indies duty are asked to attend a meeting today from 16:00hrs at the Malteenoes Sports Club (MSC) where preparations for the tournament will be discussed.
