Hemraj awaits his chance
Keeping fit! Chanderpaul Hemraj going through his paces in the gym under the watchful eyes of trainer Robert Brumell.
Middle order batsman Chanderpaul Hemraj is confident of doing well if given an opportunity to represent Guyana in the 2013 West Indies domestic competitions. The Everest left hander caught up recently with Kaieteur Sport at the Flex Gym in Thomas Street, Kitty where he trains. He said he is working very hard to maintain a high fitness level. “I train three times a week in the Gym and I also practise three times a week at home with a bowling machine that I acquired recently,” he said.
Hemraj, who scored two centuries in the 2012 West Indies U-19 tournament, stated the bowling machine helps to improve your technique. “You have to be more watchful when batting against the machine, the ball comes on to the bat quickly and bounces a lot so it is very helpful especially when you go on the faster pitches,” informed Chanderpaul who is on the standby list. He thinks Guyana has a good team. “We have a balanced team, the guys are talented but I think they need to focus a bit more,” he opined.
With the Guyana team performing below par at the moment his chance may come sooner than expected.
