NAMILCO/Bakewell T20 Champion of Champions Tourney…Albion aiming to win
Kaieteur Sport continues to feature the teams that will be competing in the inaugural NAMILCO/Bakewell/Rose Hall Town Youth & Sports Club T20 Champion of Champions tournament set to bowl off tomorrow.
Today we are pleased to highlight Albion Cricket Club (ACC) undoubtedly one of the premier clubs in the Ancient County. Together with the Rose Hall Town Gizmos & Gadgets (RHTG&G), the two have been dominating the sport at all levels in Berbice.
ACC has produced numerous Test players for the West Indies team and that feat is unmatched in the past few years. The four players coming through the ranks and going all the way in recent times are Narsingh Deonarine, Sewnarine Chattergoon, Devindra Bishoo and Veerasammy Permaul.
This club is one of the pre-tournament favourites along with RHTG&G and would open their quest for the championship when they host Blairmont next Sunday.
West Indies Test player and ‘A’ Team Captain Veerasammy Permaul will lead the team whose batting would be centered on Test players Narsingh Deonarine and Sewnarine Chattergoon. Able support will come from the hard hitting Jonathan Foo, Sharaz Ramcharran, Andy Mohan, Veerapen Permaul, Kandasammy Surujnarine and Brian Dookna.
All-rounders Veerasammy Permaul and Devindra Bishoo (Vice Captain) can also lend support with the bat in the middle order if required to.
However, Albion’s strength and main area of success over the years would have been there all spin bowling attack which at home is almost impossible to get the better of. West Indies spinner Permaul, Bishoo and Deonarine will lead the attack with support from off spinners Sharaz Ramcharran, Balchan Baldeo, David Latchaya and left arm spinner Gudakesh Motie.
Recently, ACC has been unlucky in tournaments since most of their senior players are usually away on national or international duties. This would not be the case this time around however; they will be at full strength for this competition and with most of their games will be played at home which is an added incentive for the team.
In 2011, ACC won the Tenelec Cup and was the losing finalist in the 2012 Busta Cup competition while they also reached the semi finals of the Tenelec Cup and Ramcharitar competitions in 2012.
Their final X1 will come from Veerasammy Permaul (Captain), Sewnarine Chattergoon, Veerapen Permaul, Narsingh Deonarine, Jonathan Foo, Devendra Bishoo (Vice Captain), Gudakesh Motie, David Latchaya, Sharaz Ramcharran, Balchan Baldeo, Andy Mohan, Kandasammy Surujnarine, Shivnarine Shrikishun, Brian Dookna, Joshua Harrichand and Rohan Harripersaud.
The Manager is Muthuswammi Permaul with Andre Percival performing duties as Coach.
