President Irfaan Ali has defended the government’s support to the recently held Global Super League T20 tournament and justified it in the context of the drive for more tourists to the country.
Questions have been raised about the financing of the league which had been hinted at earlier this year by Ali and formally announced at the finals of the Caribbean Premier League (CPL) tournament here.
During his `In The Seat’ interview programme on December 20, Ali was asked by Stabroek News whether cash or other support was provided to the tournament and whether it was being run by a company and who the principals were.
