– play 4-day warm up game at Providence from today

Three changes from Guyana’s 50-overs team which reached the semi-finals of the Regional Super50 tournament in Trinidad, have been made by the National selectors who named a predictable 14-man squad to travel to Jamaica on February 25 for their opening game against five-times defending Champions Jamaica from February 28 to March 3.
Batsmen Vishal Singh and former Test player Sewnarine Chattergoon along with fast Bowler Keon Joseph replace Royston Crandon, Trevon Griffith and Robin Bacchus in the Four-Day team which will face a Guyana Cricket Board Rest team in a four-day practice match from today at the Guyana National stadium. The match is scheduled to commence at 10:00 hours each day.
The team, which according to the GCB is just for the first game, will be led by former West Indies under-19 Skipper Leon Johnson who takes over the leadership role from Christopher Barnwell while veteran Shiv Chanderpaul remains the Vice-Captain.
The 32-year-old Chattergoon has played four Tests and was among the leading run scorers in the four-day Inter-County competition and has five centuries from 73 First-Class games while 25-year-old Singh who led from the front as Captain of the Rest Team in the Inter-County tournament after playing nine First-Class matches but none in three years. Joseph, a 22-year-old pacer, has taken seven wickets in four games.
Prior to this warm-up match, the players on the squad who were not a part of the Super50 squad in Trinidad, were in an Encampment from February 5 – 7, 2014 which gave the selectors an opportunity to look at their fitness level.
Chairman of GCB Senior Selection Panel Mr. Rayon Griffith advised that players not selected for the first round must continue to practice and stay fit for likely selection in future rounds of this year’s competition.
Guyana has won six First-Class titles but none since 1998 when they shared the title with the Leeward Islands.
The Guyana squad: Sewnarine Chattergoon, Assad Fudadin, Leon Johnson (Captain), Ramnaresh Sarwan, Narsingh Deonarine, Shivnarine Chanderpaul (Vice Captain), Anthony Bramble, Christopher Barnwell, Veerasammy Permaul, Devendra Bishoo, Ronsford Beaton, Keon  Joseph and Vishaul Singh. The Manager is Alvin Johnson and the Coach Esuan Crandon.
The Rest team: Rajindra Chandrika, Trevon Griffith, Robin Bacchus, Chanderpaul Hemraj, Royston Crandon, Rajiv Ivan, Jonathan Foo, Zaheer Mohamed, Anthony Adams, Jason Sinclair, Paul Wintz, Raun Johnson, Rayon Fredericks, Collis Butts, Andre Stoll and Ricardo Adams. (Sean Devers)
