DCB/Premier Insurance U15 Inter-Association tournament: Rajaram confident of team’s performance

The Premier Insurance Company is hosting the DCB/Premiere Insurance U15 Inter-Association tournament, and while the action has already commenced, Captain of the East Bank Demerara Team, Roupie Rajaram, is confident of his team as the competition continues to progress.

The 14-year-old, who attends Soesdyke Secondary School and is a member of the Silver Bullet CC, will be hoping that just as his favourite player Virat Kohli was able to lead India to many titles, he can do the same for his team.
This publication sat with Rajaram and enquired what people should expect from the East Bank team going forward.
“It’s a very exciting feeling, being my first time representing East Bank at this level,” he said. “There are lots of energy and team work in the camp. We have a good bunch of guys in the camp, and we’ve been gelling well as a team so far. In terms of our batting and bowling unit, we’ve got a lot of genuine all-rounders in the team, so I think we’ve got a good batting line up as well as our bowling,” he has posited.
This talented youngster also noted that, as it pertains to preparation, it was tough in the beginning, but coach Daniel Barker has been working hard with the team to put in the time and effort; therefore, it is his belief that the entire camp’s spirit has been lifted, and everyone is ready to take on the tournament.
He has noted that the exposure would do him great because of his passion for cricket, and this would boost his game a lot, thus he would be taking in all the experience he can to further his cricketing career.
Going forward, the young Rajaram is urging his boys to stay focused on what they have set out to achieve, and whatever they do they must do it as a team.
