-but questions omission of Foo

The Berbice Cricket Board (BCB), which continues to produce high-calibre cricketers, has had eight of its top players selected for inclusion in the Guyana Harpy Eagles squad that would be contesting in the 2022 CG United Regional Super50 tournament in Trinidad and Tobago.

As such, BCB President Hilbert Foster and the entire board hereby extend congratulations to those eight cricketers, who departed Guyana yesterday. These players are: Shimron Hetmyer, Veerasammy Permaul, Kevin Sinclair, Nial Smith, Romario Shepherd, Gudakesh Motie, Clinton Pestano and Anthony Bramble.
All of these players have represented Guyana at the senior level, and some have represented West Indies at the highest level of cricket.
In a statement posted on the BCB social media platform, Foster has said Berbice Cricket is on the move, and the selection of these eight players is evidence.

“The President and executives of the Berbice Cricket Board would like to congratulate the eight Berbicians who have been named in the Guyana 50 Overs teams that would be playing the 2022 CWI tournament. Berbice cricket is on the move, and the selection of the eight players is a reflection of that. We would like to wish the players a successful tournament, and this would lead to possible selection to the West Indies team. Shimron Hetmyer, Veersammy Permaul, Kevin Sinclair, Nial Smith, Romario Shepherd, Gudakesh Motie, Clinton Pestano and Anthony Bramble – please be assured of our support. We would also like to wish Team Guyana all the best in the tournament.”
The BCB has, however, been disappointed with the exclusion of experienced batsman Jonathan Foo from the squad of Harpy Eagles. The BCB notes that Foo had ticked all the boxes for selection. Nevertheless, the statement further encourages Foo to keep working on his game.
“The BCB is however very disappointed at the non-selection of Jonathan Foo, who continues to tick all the boxes needed at the level. We would like to urge Jonathan to keep working on his game, and he will be rewarded,” the statement concluded.
