The Demerara Cricket Board (DCB) has officially named its Under-16 squad to compete in the Guyana Cricket Board (GCB) Male U-16 50-over Inter-County tournament, following the conclusion of the DCB competition which saw the Georgetown Cricket Association crowned champions.
The squad is led by Lomar Seecharran, with Makai Dowlin serving as Vice Captain. Also selected are Ishan Haricharran, Nathan Bishop, Prosper Jacobus, Shazam Ally, Mickel Johnson, Jagdesh Kalpoo, Aaron Persaud, Ashton Collins, Somesh Boyer, Shane Dewa, Afraz Khan, Krishna Mahase and Aaron Narine.
The standby players named are Mario Singh, Jadon Birch, Adam Mohamed, Noel Madramootoo, Hezekiah Hohenkirk and Jordan Bissessar.
The tournament, which was traditionally contested at the under-15 level, has now shifted to the under-16 level.
The adjustment follows Cricket West Indies’ decision to remove the Under-17 tournament from its calendar this year. All matches will begin at 09:30h.
On Monday, February 16, Demerara will face Essequibo at LBI on the East Coast of Demerara. In the other fixture on the opening day, Berbice will take on the GCB Select XI at Rose Hall, Canje.
Tuesday’s doubleheader will see the Select XI opposing Demerara at LBI, while Berbice will clash with Essequibo at Lusignan.
On Thursday, Demerara and Berbice will meet in a much-anticipated encounter at Lusignan, while the GCB Select XI will play Essequibo at LBI.
The final is scheduled for February 21, 2026, and will be played at either the Georgetown Cricket Club (GCC) ground or LBI.
