DCC delighted by Dowlin’s WI appointment
Travis Dowlin
The Demerara Cricket Club, home of Guyana’s newest Test player, Travis Dowlin, has expressed delight in Dowlin’s selection to Tour Australia with the West Indies full strength team after scoring an ODI ton and 99 in the Test series against Bangladesh with the make shift team.
The hard-working right-hander joins several illustrious players from the Queenstown club and his selection shows that the middle order batsman who could also open, is good enough to gain selection when all of the region’s top players are available.
The DCC message read:-
“It is with great pride and a sense of fulfillment that we at DCC celebrate TRAVIS DOWLIN, one of our ambassadors, on his selection to the West Indies Team. His selection is a validation of his performance in the recent months and we wish him well in the upcoming tour of Australia. Travis manifestation on and off the field is a reflection of the quality of programmes being offered by the DCC and this in some ways is a moment for us also.
Travis joins a long list of great cricketers that came from the shores of the Demerara Cricket Club in Clive Lloyd, Lance Gibbs, Roy Fredericks, Roger Harper and now joins 3 of his other countrymen on the team, Shivnarine Chanderpaul, Ramesh Sarwan and Narsingh Deonarine. With history as our guide, whenever there is this many Guyanese on the WI team, the team supersedes expectation. Therefore, we can safely predict that Travis will attain his first test century that eluded him in his debut series against Bangladesh.
Another satisfactorily development that should not go unmentioned is the recent settlement of the impasse between WI and WIPA. In previous releases we had called for a resolution of the conflict and although it is long overdue we hope that this could spur the resurgence and development of WI cricket.
Again, the President and members of DCC wish all of our boys well in their tour of Australia.”
