The areas visited were Lethem, Bartica, Georgetown, Linden, Berbice and West Demerara. Plans are being made to visit Laluni and revisit Lethem which seem to have the most talented players.
The players selected from the local scouting will be invited to a camp in Georgetown from July 18th to 25th.
Programme Director, Colin Baker explained that two separate camps are being held as a cost saving with the two camps being held in Toronto and Guyana. After the camps, TD Rodrigues and his Technical staff will determine the final list of 20 players selected for the first round of U17 Worlds Cup Qualifiers to be held in Guyana from August 18th to 21st.
