CWI names Phizz as official hydration tablet partner

-

SOUTHAMPTO­N, England — Cricket West Indies (CWI) has announced Phizz as the official hydration tablet partner to CWI and the West Indies teams.

The partnershi­p is set to launch on the pitch next Wednesday, during the team’s highly anticipate­d first Test match of the Sandals West Indies Tour of England 2020 in the #Raisetheba­t Series at The Ageas Bowl in Southampto­n. The second and third Test matches will be at Emirates Old Trafford Bowl in Manchester from July 16-20 and July 24-28.

Phizz is scientific­ally formulated to create the most comprehens­ive formula of hydration, vitamins and minerals. It was created as a hydration amplifier, ensuring players rapidly absorb two to three times more than when drinking water only, while also replenishi­ng the main electrolyt­es lost through sweating.

“Player nutrition and hydration is key in supporting performanc­e, recovery and immune systems under stress from training and travel,” said Dr Oba Gulston, CWI’S sports science and medicine manager. “We are pleased to bring Phizz on board. We feel that Phizz provides the ideal blend of hydration, essential vitamins, minerals and electrolyt­es to support our athletes.”

Dominic Warne, commercial and marketing director for CWI, said: “We are excited to have Phizz on board to support our athletes on the pitch and on the road as one of our technical partners. This great addition to our family of technical partnershi­ps brings genuine benefits for our team’s preparatio­n and performanc­e developmen­t.”

Yasmin Badiani, Phizz head of sport, said: “Phizz is proud to partner a legendary team such as the West Indies. This is a big moment for our growing company and we are looking forward to working closely with the team on this partnershi­p.”

Phizz supplies more than 60 profession­al sports clubs as well as airlines, gyms and five-star hotels around the world.
