Aug 28, 2008 Sports

Sixteen players from the Demerara Cricket Board’s Inter-Association under-17 champions Georgetown dominate a 30-man squad invited by the county’s selectors to participate in a two-day trial match from 09:00hrs today at the Everest ground.

This match will be used to select the Demerara team for the CLICO Inter-County under-17 tournament which starts on September 6 at the Enterprise ground in East Coast Demerara.

The squad was selected from the just concluded DCB Inter-Association competition and while there are no major surprises in the list, East Bank’s Pernell London who top scored for his team in a losing effort against Georgetown yesterday could feel very unlucky to not be included.

The entire Georgetown 14-man squad along with national under-15 captain Kwame Cross and Vishal Narayan, who were not picked for Georgetown, have been picked in the squad which also includes talented off-spinner Shaquille Williams, pacer Kevin Ogle and left-arm spinner Raj Nanan, who could not break into Georgetown’s starting eleven for the Inter-Association matches although they would have ‘walked into’ any of the other three teams in the competition.

The full trial squad read:-Dexter Solomon, Quincy Ovid, Kamal Ramkissoon, Dayanand Roopnarine, Delon Fernandes, Carlos La Rose, Rajiv Singh, Andre Stoll, Amir Khan, Seon Daniels, Ricardo Devers, Raj Nanan, Shaquille Williams, Kevin Ogle, Vishal Narayan, Kwame Cross, Jagdesh Bishun, Shameer Fazal, Brian Sattaur, Keon Franklyne, Delroy Charles, Ameer Khan, Kerwin Bennett, Asif Habib, Amir Mohamed, Darel Ross, Maha Dhanpaul, Khemraj Singh, Royston Simon and Navindra Jaigobin
