Schultz spoke with this daily publication in disclosing that the training squad would leave for Antigua on Monday July 15, where they will be encamped until August 10th.
“First of all, I was like, ‘Praise the Almighty!’ I was so happy and excited when I got the news”, Schultz explained.
Schultz is a left-arm spinner who played for the Guyana Under-19s and the Guyana senior female team. Born on April 17, 1997, Schultz has shown great promise over time playing for Guyana. A humble young woman, she expressed gratitude to coaches Orin Bailey, Bharat Mangru and Ryan Hercules.
“They have helped me in every little area of my game, and I must thank my parents for being there for me at every moment”, Schultz disclosed.
Schultz considers this training camp as a stepping stone to greater achievements, and she is aiming to learn daily.
“Well, every day is a learning process for me. I’m happy for this opportunity to go and learn more, and learn really fast. I’m utmost dedicated naturally from within to go and do my best at the very best of my ability”, Schultz explained.
She added that she is capable of learning, and will be aiming to share any of her experience with her colleagues.
Schultz has played for Demerara at the inter-county level, and for Guyana at both the senior and junior level of the Women’s team.
The full training squad is yet to be revealed. It is expected that an announcement in this regard would be made very shortly. (Brandon Corlette)
