GBF names squad for women’s series against Suriname

The Guyana Basketball Federation (GBF) has finalised the 12-member team that will suit up for Guyana in their much-anticipated two-game series against Suriname, set for August 10 and 11, 2025, at the Cliff Anderson Sports Hall (CASH).
Leading the charge will be Europe-based professional Joy Adams, who was named in the squad.
Adams, making her 5-on-5 debut for Guyana and playing in front of a home crowd for the very first time, is expected to be the team’s on-court general and emotional leader.

She previously steered the national side at the FIBA (Fédération Internationale de Basketball – International Basketball Federation) 3×3 AmeriCup in Miami, where she lit up the scoreboard and led the entire tournament in scoring. Adding depth, versatility, and youthful energy to the line-up are the Ramlall siblings – Ashna, Arshia, and Amisha.
The Minnesota-based high school standouts are making their national team debut and are expected to stretch the floor, bring defensive intensity, and keep the tempo high against a Surinamese squad.
Veteran centre Keane Andrews returns to the national setup, as Head Coach Willon Cameron noted that her experience will be crucial in balancing a roster dominated by emerging talents, many of whom were part of Guyana’s Inter-Guiana Games campaign last year.
The two-day clash is being made possible through the support of the Government of Guyana, with the GBF President Michael Singh calling it the “jump start” for the Federation’s revitalised women’s programme.
Singh emphasised that women’s basketball will be a central focus for the GBF’s development plans throughout the rest of 2025.
Guyana Women’s National Team Roster: Joy Adams (Captain), Amisha Ramlall, Ashna Ramlall, Arshia Ramlall, Jamaicy Ogle, Junelly Paddy, Keisha Copperfield, Kassidy Woolford, Malia Samuels, Akeelah Campbell, Brean Ritchie and Keane Andrews.
