Beaton joins Matthews as second fast bowler to lead Guyana at Regional U19 level

Jul 17, 2011 Sports

Dear Editor,
When Monsterratian born Rensford Beaton walks out to spin the toss on the opening morning of the TCL Regional Under-19 cricket championship in Georgetown, he will become only the second fast bowler to lead Guyana at the Regional level. Beaton will join Sydney Matthews who was the National Under-19 Captain for the 1971 Benson and Hedges Championship held in Jamaica.
Strange enough, Matthews was elevated to the 1971 captaincy after touring with the first West Indies Under-19 team in 1970 to the United Kingdom, while Beaton’s appointment followed his stint in Dubai in early in 2011.
Please find below Guyana’s Under-19 Captains since 1968:
1968 Keith Aaron (Queens College), 1969 Keith Aaron (Queens College), 1970 Errol Jackman (Queens College), 1971 Sydney Matthews (East Bank), 1972 Faoud Bacchus (GCC), 1973 Faoud Bacchus (GCC), 1974 Radhay Solomon (Port Mourant), 1975 Timur Mohamed (GCC), 1976 Timur Mohamed (GCC), 1977 Mark Harper (DCC), 1978 Jerry Angus (GCC), 1979 Jerry Angus (GCC), 1980 Roger Harper (DCC), 1981 Deonarine Persaud (Port Mourant), 1982 Andrew Jackman (GCC), 1983 Vinoo Solomon (GCC), 1984 Carl Hooper (GCC), 1985 Latchman Bhansingh (GCC), 1986 Latchman Bhansingh (GCC), 1987 Michael Howard (DCC), 1988 Nezam Hafeez (Malteenoes), 1989 Paul Persaud (GCC), 1990 Glen Robinson (Malteenoes), 1991 Arjune Nandu (Port Mourant), 1992 Andre Percival (Port Mourant), 1993 Andre Percival (Port Mourant), 1994 Andre Percival (Port Mourant), 1995 Mahendra Nagamootoo (Port Mourant), 1996 Vishal Nagamootoo (Port Mourant), 1997 Ramnaresh Sarwan (GCC), 1998 Ramnaresh Sarwan (GCC), 1999 Sewnarine Chattergoon (Albion), 2000 Narsingh Deonarine (Albion), 2001 Troy Cornelius (DCC), 2002 Sauid Drepaul (Everest), 2003 Assad Fudadin (Rose Hall), 2004 Zamal Khan (Port Mourant), 2005 Leon Johnson (GCC), 2006 Steven Jacobs (Malteenoes), 2007 Steven Jacobs (Malteenoes), 2008 Eugene LaFleur (Bermine), 2009 Anthony Bramble (Scotsburg United), 2010 Dexter Solomon (GNIC), 2011 Rensford Beaton.
