Seonarine and Deopaul to lead NY teams in Guyana Cup

Oct 27, 2011 Sports

 

 

The two New York Softball Cricket League teams that will be representing the league in Guyana are sponsored by Hafeez Ali of Rockaway Auto Sales and Car Rental who has businesses in New York and Guyana and is an ardent supporter of cricket.
Ali said in New York that he knows how hard it is to get a team to Guyana and praised the league for their efforts in taking two teams adding that he was pleased to have his business associated with the league’s efforts.
Vijay Seonarine of United Stars and over-45 veteran Boodram Deopaul of Triumph will be moving to Guyana for at least a week, as the current captains of the 2011 NYSCL Independence and Legends cup champions respectively. These two captains will be leading two strong teams, with players who have demonstrated that they are the best in this version of cricket. Bobby Pahalad and Linden Langhorne are the Vice Captains of the two respective teams.
Seonarine hails from the village of Port Mourant in Guyana, a village that has produced some of the best cricketers in the likes of Rohan Khanai. Seonarine played many big games for his Port Mourant team before representing Berbice in the inter-county championship. He represented Guyana in 1997 and 1998 before migrating to the United States.
A pacer, Seonarine later developed his likeness for keeping wicket and as his keeping got better so did his batting. He is a hard hitting opening batsman and led Guyana All Stars to the 2011 NYSCL Independence Cup championship.
Boodram Deopaul played his hard ball cricket representing his village Triumph and played second division cricket for GDF. In the mid eighties he played softball cricket for the Packer club in Georgetown.
He is the current captain of the NYSCL Legends over-45 team and took them to four finals, losing just once.
The NYSCL All Stars team has dominated the United States Inter States tournaments, winning in Florida and New York many times.  The players representing the league in the Guyana Cup come from a wide cross section of all the teams in the league. The league has put together a team that is most suited for the Twenty20 format, which including many all rounder’s.
The strength of the team will be their bowling which will be led by two times NYSCL Cricketer of the Year, Bobby Pahalad and with support from his brother Bhola. Bobby is a bowler with genuine pace while Bhola, bowls well on dirt wicket and gets a lot of swing. Amit Moonsammy is traveling with the team and he is without a doubt the best leg spinner in the game today.
These guys will get good support from Seonarine, Mo Khan, Mahendra Seeram, former youth Captain Karan Ganesh, Vicky Subkarran, Shazam Hussain, Tulsiram Mangroo, Ryan Ramjas, Satesh Parsram, Ricky Edwards and Vijay Bersford.
The NYSCL Legends has dominate the softball cricket competitions that has as an age limit, while in the United States the age limit is over 45 the Guyana Masters is over 40. These players of the more mature age are most eager to display their skill and talents to their counterpart back home in Guyana.
Tony Fernandez is looking forward to playing in Guyana; he has won the batting champions awards in Inter States competitions for four consecutive years. He is a hard hitting batsman who plays for Country Boys and is still one of their leading batsmen.
This Legends team is also packed with all-rounder’s, and has added some new faces in Ravi Etwaroo, Ronald Evelyn, Ravi Sugrim, Jagdesh Arjune, Onkar Singh, Rickford Mayers and Orin Jackson.  This team has one of the best all-rounder’s at this level of cricket in Cedric Beaton.
