“This time I am going to be here physically with the team, and this time I am going to show the videos, in contrast to last season”, Walkar told this daily publication.
Walkar who has been analyst in the Indian Premier League (IPL) and the Pakistan Super League (PSL), told this reporter that he will be involved in team meetings.
Speaking about preparation, Walkar said it’s a process the team will follow and play well in the tournament. “As the tournament progresses, we will get better with the strength of the team”, Walkar explained.
Walkar was in the Mumbai team set-up for eight seasons in the Ranji Trophy in India’s First-Class competition. On two occasions during his stint, Mumbai lifted the title. In early 2019, he left the Mumbai unit to take up a role with the Pakistan Super League side Multan Sultans.
Walkar was also a Performance Analyst with IPL side Rajasthan Royals, who were the first IPL champions. He served that IPL franchise for three seasons.
Meanwhile, the Guyana Cricket Board (GCB) were tasked with providing two Under-19 players for the GAW training camps. It was confirmed that Berbice Under-19 duo Kevlon Anderson and Kevin Umroa are those selected for the GAW. The dynamic duo will be involved in the training session with the team only at the Guyana National Stadium Providence.
Anderson, who plays cricket for Rose Hall Town Youth and Sports Club (RHTY&SC), is one of two Guyanese in the 21-man West Indies Under-19 squad. Umroa who plays for Albion Community Centre Ground, has been left out of the 21-man squad after his initial involvement in the first training camps. (Brandon Corlette)
