The Guyana Cricket Board (GCB) has extended a congratulatory message to Gudakesh Motie on his maiden call-up for the West Indies Test team.
Gudakesh Motie stands a chance of playing his first international Test match today
West Indies will play Bangladesh in a two-Test series from June 16 to 28, 2022.
The 27-year-old Motie, who hails from Albion, Corentyne, Region Six, earned his call-up following outstanding performances for Guyana in all formats of the game during the past year. The left-arm spinner has played 34 first-class matches for Guyana and West Indies ‘A’ teams, and has taken 117 wickets therein, with best figures of 6-20.
In the recently concluded West Indies Championship, Motie struck his maiden first-class century against eventual champions Barbados in a shot-filled 110 to showcase his improving batting prowess.
Motie made his international debut when he played a T20 International match against Pakistan at Karachi on December 16, 2021.
The President and Executive members of the Guyana Cricket Board would like to extend best wishes to Motie as he looks to make his mark in Test cricket.
