Persaud will be supported by Vice Captain Dylan Fields, Lennox Braithwaite, Ransford Goodluck, Leo Ramalho, Sigmund Douglas, Ryan Sampson and debutant, Sherwin Felicien. John Fraser has been named as standby.
The area of Coaching is handled by the very experienced Persaud, Goodluck, Braithwaite, Fields, Dane Blair and Paul Slowe all combining their expertise for the Guyanese.
