Burnett back in national fold
Omitted point guard from the 18-man national basketball squad, Travis Burnett, was recalled to the team on Sunday
Travis Burnett
following a review. President of the Guyana Amateur Basketball Federation (GABF), Nigel Hinds confirmed the re-selection.
Burnett, who Kaieteur Sport saw among the squad at Friday night’s practice session, has been an intense play-maker and defensive guard for the Trinity Grid Holding Pacesetters team. Burnett is the leader of Pacesetters’ offence and is skilful in the paint.
His omission on Saturday from the 18-man squad was one of the big surprises in the team, more so given that Victory Valley Royals’ shooting guard, Chris Williams and Colts’ Dave Causway had made the cut. Burnett’s statistics over the last few years rank him among the top guards in Guyana.
Burnett was the last player to single-handedly win the male Inter-Guiana Games title for Guyana some years ago. Speaking to this newspaper Friday night, Burnett seemed very anxious about his national senior debut, and will be overjoyed with this second opportunity.
