Batsman Mavindra Dindyal will again skipper a strong Guyana U19 team that would participate in the upcoming CWI Regional U19 tournament which bowls off on July 2.
Last year’s Guyana under-17 captain, Johnathan Van Lange, has been named deputy, and he and Dindyal would have a number of talented players at their disposal, most if not all of whom have featured or played key roles last season.
Among the high-profile names selected by the Guyana Cricket Board (GCB) Selection Panel are: Rampertab Ramnauth, Sachin Balgobin, Alvin Mohabir, Zachary Jodah, Johnathan Van Lange and Thaddeus Lovell. They and others would form a talented unit which forms the future core of Guyana’s cricket.
Exciting young fast bowler Isai Thorne, who made his first-class debut in this year’s West Indies Championship, is unavailable after recently being named to tour England with the West Indies Test team as a development player from June 23.
The Guyanese players, who had an excellent tournament last season despite coming up short, are expected to wing out on June 30 for action that bowls off a few days later in St Vincent and the Grenadines. The team is expected to begin encampment soon.
Jamaica are the tournament’s defending champions.
Guyana U19 Team: Mavindra Dindyal (Captain), Johnathan Van Lange (vice-captain), Rampertab Ramnauth, Sachin Balgobin, Alvin Mohabir, Zachary Jodah, Thaddeus Lovell, Romeo Deonarain, Shahid Viera (WK), Krsna Singh, Riyad Latiff, Golcharran Chulai, Bruce Vincent and Anthon Lim.
Standby players are: Rampersaud Ramnauth, Shiloh Adams, Kumar Deopersaud, Salim Khan, Wavell Allen and Mahem Khan.
Manager is Nazeer Mohamed, and head coach is Andre Percival.
