Three Guyanese on West Indies Blind team for World Cup in S/Africa
By Sean Devers
Guyanese trio Anthony Robinson, Kevin Douglas and Leroy Phillips were selected on West Indies Blind Cricket team for this year’s visually impaired forty overs cricket World Cup in South Africa from November 25 to December 9, after completion of the seventh Regional Blind Cricket tournament in Jamaica in July.
Guyana Blind Cricket Association executive Theresa Pemberton explained that due to financial reasons Guyana was unable to send a full team to attend the Regional tournament but added that they was allowed to take just eight players to form a combined team featuring two players from Trinidad and Tobago, one from St Lucia and the remaining two from the host country Jamaica to make up the 13-member squad.
This Guyana-dominated combined team, which was managed by Pemberton, finished third with their only win being over Barbados, who ended in the second spot. Jamaica, the first Caribbean Island to have competitive Blind cricket played there, not surprisingly once again emerged Regional Blind Cricket Champions for the seventh consecutive time.
The West Indies side to South Africa also came from the Guyana combined team in T&T’s B-3 player, Rodney Ramrattan.
West Indies squad: (B1s) Anthony Cummings (Barbados), Jason Ricketts (Jamaica), Leroy Phillips (Guyana), Damion Rose (Jamaica), Anthony Robinson (Guyana), Marlon Cole (Jamaica), (B2), Kci Ward-Ryan (Barbados), Caneel Graham (Jamaica), Gregory Stewart (Jamaica), Alvin James (Jamaica),Ricardo Manning (Barbados), (B3) Dennal Shim (Jamaica), Rodney Ramrattan (Trinidad and Tobago), Kevin Douglas (Guyana), Lo-Shane Myles (Jamaica), Haldeen Ford (Barbados), John Reeves (Barbados), Coach Glendon Coke (Jamaica).
