DCC congratulates Nedd on maiden first-class call-up

President Roger Harper and executive and ordinary members of the Demerara Cricket Club (DCC) have extended congratulations to the club’s young sensation, Ashmead Nedd, who recently earned his maiden first-class call up.

Following the 2020-2021 West Indies Professional Players Draft for the Colonial Medical Insurance Super50 Cup and the West Indies Championship, Nedd was snapped up by the Leeward Islands Hurricanes for the upcoming season.
The DCC, which has always facilitated the young man’s development, is keen on continuing to do so, even as he would be resident abroad. Needless to say, this opportunity with the Hurricanes set-up would land him in good stead moving forward, and he is being urged by members of DCC to grasp this opportunity with both hands, and use it as a stepping stone to earn opportunities at the highest level.
There is no doubt that he would continue to do well, since the 19-year-old left-arm spinner was one of the West Indies’ leading performers at the ICC Under-19 World Cup in South Africa earlier this year. He was also part of the West Indies Emerging Players unit that won the Colonial Medical Insurance Super50 Cup last November. Before then, Nedd had been one of the flagship players of the club.
Like so many others, he came though the junior ranks, ironically via a programme designed and implemented by his father and coach, Gavin Nedd. He went on to play, captain and acquit himself well for Guyana at all the age group levels, and so his transition to the first-class level comes as no surprise.
Once again, DCC congratulates Nedd, and wishes him well as he strives to make his family, club, and Guyana proud.
