Barbados U13 cricketers arrive for 5-match series against Guyana

The excitement is building in local youth cricket as the Barbados Under-13 team arrived on Friday to contest a highly anticipated five-match series against the Guyana Under-13s, with the first scheduled to begin today at the Lusignan Community Centre Ground.
The second match will also be played at GCC Bourda on December 14. After a rest and tour day, the third match of the series will be held at GCC Bourda on December 16, followed by the fourth match at Everest Cricket Ground on December 17.

After another rest and tour day, the final match of the series will be played at Everest Cricket Ground on December 19, with the Barbados team departing Guyana on December 20.
All matches are scheduled to begin at 10:00h and will be played in white clothing with 40 overs assigned to each side per innings.
The Barbados touring party features a talented roster of emerging cricketers: Avery Boyce, Jon-David Greene, Anarhi Hinds, Tanari Hunte, Kijani Inniss, Ky-Mani Inniss, Oliver King, Nathan Kirton, Natarie Lavine, Niako Patterson, Z’Dari Scantlebury, Liam Sookram, Jaheim Springer, and Kaedon Wilkins. The team is led by a seasoned management unit comprising Head Coach Roderick Estwick, Assistant Coach Dexter Toppin, and Manager Sherwin Greene.
Guyana’s Under-13 squad, announced earlier this week, is equally competitive and includes several promising young players.
Leading the team is Captain Lomar Seecharran, supported by Vice Captain Sahid Gajnabi, along with teammates Nathaniel Ramkhelawan, Timothy Ramdat, Afraz Ali, Makai Dowlin, Afraz Khan, Fayyad Baksh, Ashton Collins, Deshawn Ramnauth, Adrian Emmanuel, Jasani Craig, De Marcus Thomas, and Jaden Ganpat.
This series forms part of ongoing developmental efforts by both the Guyana Cricket Board (GCB) and the Barbados Cricket Association (BCA) to give young athletes meaningful exposure to regional competition.
The initiative not only strengthens cricket pathways but also encourages camaraderie and sportsmanship among Caribbean youth.
