Sheriffudeen, who represented Wakenaam at the U19 level, informed that he has been following Paul’s career from the inception and wished him continued success. “Every one of these achievements is another milestone reached and this presentation is in recognition of one such goal, the debut of his first class career,” he said.
Also present at the function was Secretary of the Wakenaam Cricket Committee Nazeer Mohamed who congratulated Paul on his recent achievement adding that this will help to motivate the young cricketers on the island. He expressed gratitude to Sheriffudeen.
Paul plays for Noitgedacht Sports Club in Wakenaam and Demerara Cricket Club and thanked the entity and said it had been a pleasure to play for Guyana at the first class level. “The support I have got from V Net Communications over the years has been tremendous and its means a lot to me. I will continue to put my best foot forward and try to make my supporters including those from Wakenaam and Saxacalli where I was born, happy.
Paul, 19, said that he has learnt a lot playing in the senior team. “I gained a lot of knowledge from the senior players especially Leon Johnson.
Playing at the first class level can be challenging so it’s important for me to be consistent and keep my place in the team,” he posited. (Zaheer Mohamed)
