Unanswered questions surrounds Fudadin’s non-selection – RHTY&SC

Dec 20, 2012 Sports

Dear Editor,
The Management & Members of the Rose Hall Town Youth & Sports Club would like to question the non-selection of West Indies middle order batsman Assad Fudadin in the Guyana T20 Team.
Fudadin over the years has been a top performer for Guyana and has improved his game vastly over the last two years to adapt to the lower version of the game.
His performance for the Rose Hall Town Youth & Sports Club in 2012 in all Berbice tournaments speaks volumes and his innings of 66 vs Skeldon, 63 vs Young Warriors, 78 not out vs Albion and 46 vs GCC in the Day of Champions match clearly showed that, like Shivnarine Chanderpaul and Rahul Dravid, Fudadin is quite capable of performing in all formats of the game.
With no cricket being played at the Inter County level, one is left to wonder how this team was selected especially as Berbice is the only County that allows its players to play all forms of cricket.
Only last year Fudadin played a major role with his 56 against the Georgetown Pitbull Team that included Benn, Taylor, Santokie and Pollard. He also won the man-of-the-finals prize in the Berbice Universal DVD T20 tournament and also scored a century in the Inter County 50 overs tournament last year.
The Management of the club is of the view that based on his performances he should have been on the Guyana team and bearing in mind that he is a West Indies player.
He should be given the opportunity to make a case to gain selection on the West Indies T20 and 50 overs teams where the batting is weak in the middle order. We are fully confident that Assad Fudadin would be an asset to any Guyana team as he is not only a brilliant fieldsman but also a capable medium pacer who for heaven’s sake bowled at the test level.
We would wish to assure Assad Fudadin that he has the full support of the Rose Hall Town Youth & sports club membership and always will.
Poor Delbert Hicks continues to perform par excellence with over 700 runs at the First Division level in Berbice at an average of over 40; his wicketkeeping has improved a lot since he last represented Guyana in 2009.
Sadly, however he cannot make a standby list and has to look on as lesser performers does. In 2011 Eon Hooper was dynamic in the Guyana Cricket Board tournament as an all-rounder and just failed to make the final squad and was named a standby player.
Every cricketing person in Berbice is aware that Hooper is perhaps the best bowler in the shorter version of the game in terms of taking wickets and his economy rate. In 2012 he has taken 32 wickets at an economy rate of 2.6 runs per over and an average of 12.15.
His batting has also improved and only recently he scored a crucial 33 not out against the Hits & Jams team that had Ronsford Beaton, Kellon Carmichael among others, to win the match for Berbice. Hooper also was not named among the standbys. Our club strongly believes in the God we worship and our faith in him has always inspired us to be strong even in times that are different and our players are urged to have faith.
