BCB congratulates Crandon on elevation to WI team

The President and Executive Committee of the Berbice Cricket Board (BCB) have extended congratulations to Royston Crandon on his selection on the West Indies Team to contest the upcoming ICC Champions Trophy Tournament in South Africa.
Royston Crandon
The BCB in a release said it is pleased at his selection as it is just reward for his outstanding performance in the 2009 WICB President’s Cup Tournament where he scored over 500 runs including a brilliant 136* against Barbados.
Crandon joins an elite list of Berbicians selected to play One Day cricket for the Region including Roy Fredericks, Clayton Lambert, Alvin Kallicharran, Milton Pydanna, Mahendra Nagamootoo, Rohan Kanhai, Sewnarine Chattergoon and Narsingh Deonarine.
“We are quite confident that once given the opportunity to play, Crandon as he has always done would rise to the occasion and make Berbicians proud.”
“The Berbice Cricket Board is delighted that its policy of investing heavily in Youths is paying off with Crandon joining Deonarine and Chattergoon as current West Indies Players. It is the hope that Royston’s selection would inspire all other young cricketers to work harder, be disciplined and committed to the game with the main aim of wearing the maroon cap with pride in the near future. We would also like to offer congratulations to Travis Dowlin, the other Guyanese on the team and wish them a successful tournament.”
