Sep 13, 2011 Sports

 

In a release, Dr Frank Anthony, the Minister of Culture, Youth and Sport, has extended profound congratulations to Devendra Bishoo who has won the ICC Emerging Player of the Year – 2011.  Bishoo overcame competition from his team-mate, Darren Bravo and the Pakistani pair of Wahab Riaz and Azhar Ali.
The Award was presented to Devendra Bishoo by Mr. Ian Bell of England who won the Award in 2006.
The release continued, “During the voting period, Bishoo at age 25, played five test matches taking 21 wickets at an average of 35.42 during the voting period.  He also has 19 wickets in eleven (11) One Day Internationals at an average of 21.51.
Leg Spinner Devendra Bishoo who comes from very humble beginnings is dedicated and places much emphasis on physical fitness.  He started his cricket at the tender age of 11 years at the Albion Community Centre Cricket Club.”
“Because of his outstanding talent, he was quickly spotted and represented Berbice at the U-15, 17, 19 and Senior Levels.  Devendra was so impressive that he caught the eyes of the National Selectors and was selected to represent Guyana at the U-15, 19 and Senior Levels.
Bishoo continues his dominance in his game and sent a strong message to the West Indies selectors who identified him to play for the West Indies A Team.”
“In 2011, this astonishing young Guyanese was called to represent the West Indies at the highest level of One Day Internationals – the World Cup.  He made his Test, ODI and T/20 debut in 2011.  In his first T/20 against Pakistan, he won the Man of the Match Award with 4 wickets.
Since his elevation to the various categories of cricket, he has stamped his authority and has retained a permanent place in West Indies Cricket.
His Achievements are for all, especially the youngsters to emulate. Congratulations and best wishes to a Champion – Mr. Devendra Bishoo.  May his exploits be recorded in our History.”
