and focussed in their WICB/PCL Regional 4-Day matchup with Trinidad and Tobago Red Force, currently underway at the Queens Park Oval in Trinidad.
Drubahadur met the players before they left for Trinidad and Tobago on Tuesday morning and assured them that the GCB supports them and believes that they can win this competition. He told the players and management that they need to let go of the dejection from last weekend’s match and regroup for the challenges ahead, as they have seven more matches to play.
The President reminded them that they started off the competition brilliantly and one loss can cause them to lose their rhythm but if they are passionate about winning and determined to make Guyana proud, they have to work as a team and give all of their efforts every day for each match.
He further congratulated Veerasammy Permaul and Narsingh Deonarine for their excellent achievements thus far and called on them to continue scoring centuries and capturing wickets. Drubahadur also challenged captain Vishaul Singh to lead from the front and support his players.
After the third round, the Jaguars are sitting at the top of the points table with 39 points from two victories and one loss, while the Red Force is at fourth with 23 points from one win, one loss and one incomplete match. Jamaica and Barbados are second and third with 34 and 27 points respectively. And at the bottom of the table are Leeward Islands and Windward Islands with 22 and seven points respectively.
