Among those named, Rampersaud Ramnauth, Parmeshwar Ram, Romeo Deonarine, Sachin Balgobin, Jonathon Van Lange,
Afraz Ali Boodhu, Romario Ramdehol, Shamar Apple, among other Guyana top youth cricketers.
Van Lange will lead the squad as captain while Garvin Nedd will return to a familiar role in the youth structure as he will serve as the team’s head coach alongside team manager. Nazeer Mohammad.
Lead Selector, Andre Percival, confirmed that training sessions will begin shortly, although weather conditions may impact outdoor activity.
“Because of the weather, there may not be much outdoor work at first, but we’ll be utilizing the indoor facilities at the National Gymnasium, courtesy of the GCB President, to get in technical drills and fitness work,” Percival explained.
Speaking on the squad composition, the Percival spoke of the balance of experience and potential. “We have five emerging players currently in the CWI group under Coach Felix, and a few others who showed promise during the rain-affected Inter-County tournament. We feel this 21 offers a strong foundation,” he said.
The final 14-member squad will be named at the end of the training camp, following input from coaches working with the players.
“I’m confident in the group. I wasn’t directly involved in the initial selections due to my tour commitments in the Breakout League, I’ve followed the process closely, and I believe these boys have what it takes,” Percival added.
The Guyanese unit will depart home soil on June 29 for St. Kitts.
The GCB U19 21-man squad: Rampersaud Ramnauth, Parmeshwar Ram, Romeo Deonarine, Sachin Balgobin, Jonathon Van Lange, Afraz Ali Boodhu, Romario Ramdehol, Shamar Apple, Salim Khan, Riyad Latif, Golcharran Chulia, Nityanand Mathura, Bruce Vincent, Micah Amsterdam, Wavell Allen, Neeran Bani, Sanjay Algoo, Jayden Dowlin, Shiloh Adams, Matthew Pottya and Ronaldo Jeffery.
