Belief is key to performance

– U19 bowler Myhiem Khan

The Guyana Cricket Board’s (GCB) National T20 League under the patronage of His Excellency Dr Irfaan Ali culminated under lights at the National Stadium at Providence on Saturday.
It has seen flourishing results for national under-19 bowler Myhiem Khan, who proved to be a clinical force in the tournament.
Representing the Essequibo Jaguars, Khan was lethal with the ball, and even though his team didn’t win the championship, they finished as runners-up. Moreover, he won the tournament’s “most catches award” and led his side to a three-wicket victory in their last group match, taking four wickets for 33 runs.
In a comment invited by this publication, Khan expounded on the experience he gained in the tournament, and declared that belief was the key to his performances.

Khan said, “A lot of experience, I would say, because it’s a bigger league than I usually play in, club cricket. And I did well in the T20, so in youth cricket now, I’ll dominate, because the little advice and little things that I did in the T20 worked for me. So, I’m going to just continue doing it, and continue being good.
“The key to my performance was nothing too hard; it was just one word: ‘belief’. Because I always believe, and I always think that once I believe in myself, I can do good in anything I want to,” Khan detailed.
He went on to emphasize that fitness and patience are personal improvements he has to make in order to continue to make an invaluable impact at the senior level. (Omar McKenzie)
