The Amazon Warriors and Guyana

Sep 16, 2024 Letters

Dear Editor,

Where are the Guyanese cricket players? If our homegrown players do not have an opportunity to play in a small country like ours, where will they get an opportunity to develop their skills? People will say that Guyana has to import talent to win. They will say that Guyanese can’t win on their own strength. Obviously, we the Guyanese people do not believe that! We are the land of Rohan Kanhai, Alvin Kallicharran, Lance Gibbs, Clive Lloyd, Roger Harper, Carl Hooper, Shivnarine Chanderpaul, and counting.

We have inter-county cricket so we may see who is the best. Why the need to bring in foreign players? It is no longer the Guyana Amazon Warriors that we are witnessing if foreign players are representing the team. Do you see foreigners representing another country at the Olympics? Cricket is our Olympics! If this is the approach then the team will eventually be known as only the Warriors. Give our Guyanese players an opportunity to develop their skills with CPL cricket. At the end of the day, the West Indian team is made up of local players. The foreigners will eventually go back to representing their countries in World Cup Cricket and the victories gained will mean nothing because the experience lost will not be recovered.   Lose or win, at least our team will do their best with what we have to offer. Then we can all raise our flags in full support of “Our Team” and be able to offer more players for a stronger West Indian Team.

Best regards,
Mr. Jamil Changlee
