…GCB President urges players to play as a unit
Defending Regional Under-19 Champions, Guyana, departed for Jamaica yesterday morning for the Regional U19 50-over tournament which bowls off on Wednesday July 22.
Speaking with the players just before their departure at the Wind Jammer hotel in Kitty, President of Guyana Cricket Board (GCB), Drubahadur urged them to play as a unit, noting that it would be a phenomenal achievement if they repeat their success since they would not be playing at home. The President also told the players to guard against complacency.
Territorial Development Officer (TDO), Colin Stuart, congratulated the boys for being selected on the team. He noted that the weather was not favourable during the preparation period but said he is happy with their commitment. “As players you should know your limitations, work towards your strengths and always put the team goals ahead of personal goals.”
Guyana will be competing against Jamaica on July 22, against Trinidad and Tobago on July 23, against Leeward Islands on July 25, against Barbados on July 27, against Windward Islands on July 30, and against ICC Americas on July 31. The final will be contested on August 2, 2015.
The squad reads: Travis Persaud (Captain ), Shimron Hetmyer, Tevin Imlack, Parmesh Parsotam, Balchan Baldeo , Keemo Paul, Sherfane Rutherford, Ronaldo Alimohamed (Vice-Captain), Parmanand Ramdhan, Kassim Khan, Nathan Persaud, Akshaya Persaud, Akenie Adams, Grisean Grant.
