Sattaur benefits for NIDECA Investments’ benevolence
-National Under-19 cricketers wing out today
Nadica Investments of Happy Acres, East Coast Demerara, has once again come out in support of Lusignan batsman Brian Sattaur, who will be part of the Guyana Under-19 team that departs for Barbados to compete in the West Indies Cricket Board’s Regional Under-19 competition.
Managing Director of the company, Derick Persaud, earlier this week presented a cricket bag, thigh pad and a pair of batting gloves to the left-hander, who will be making his second appearance for the national Under-19 team.

Sattaur, 16, said he is grateful for the kind gesture by Persaud, noting that this is the third time the company has supported him in his cricketing endeavours. The former national Under-15 opener promised to make full use of the equipment, while doing his part in helping Guyana to win the title.
Sattaur represented Guyana at the Under-19 level in 2010 in St Lucia at the tender age of 14, but missed out on Under-19 selection last year, as he was carrying out the duties of captain of the national Under-15 team at the time.
The national Under-19 team, which will be led by Berbice’s leg-spinning all-rounder Shawn Perriera, broke camp on Tuesday and will depart these shores this afternoon for the Land of the Flying Fish.
The regional competition will commence on Monday with three matches. The three-day competition will be played from July 28 to August 16, comprising five rounds of matches.
The 50 overs-a-side competition will be played from August 19 to 29, comprising seven rounds of matches.
An ICC Americas Under-20 side will join the Under-19 sides from the six WICB territories- Barbados, Guyana, Jamaica, Leeward Islands, Trinidad and Tobago and Windward Islands- for the one-day tournament only.
Jamaica start their defence of the three-day title against traditional rivals Trinidad and Tobago in the opening round, which also features hosts Barbados against Windward Islands at Queen’s Park, and Guyana against Leeward Islands at Bayfield.
Hosts Barbados will start their defence of the one-day competition against ICC Americas at Queen’s Park, when Jamaica tackle Guyana at Bayfield, and Trinidad and Tobago meet Leewards at Friendship.
The Guyana team reads: Shawn Perriera (Captain), Chanderpaul Hemraj (Vice-captain), Tajenarine Chanderpaul, Mohan Ramdeen, Shimron Hetmyer, Ricardo Adams, Denesh Mangal (Wicket-keeper), Romario DeJonge, Gudakesh Motie-Kanhai, Mark Tyrell, Kamesh Yadram, Brian Sattaur, Dexter George and Vijay Surujpaul.
The coach is Adrian Amsterdam, while Alvin Johnson is the manager.
