Lost in the Mix (part 5)

As the Region prepares for its premier limited overs tournament, which will be played in Barbados and Antigua from January 24, Guyana Times Sport have decided to review some cricketers that were dominant at the youth level and were earmarked to progress to the senior division but have failed to do so or have not commanded a permanent place at the First Class cricket.

Such talents have either washed away totally from cricket or have migrated thus ending their bid for higher cricket calling.
Lost in the Mix takes you down memory lane with a look at Krishna Deosarran, Seon Daniels and Andre Stoll.
Since his entry into the junior national team at the under-15 level, Krishna Deosarran, had impressed throughout his youth career. He played two years (2001-2002) in the under-15 team and three years (2004-2006) in the under-19 team. He was an illustrious player, who respected the game and was very industrious. He should be remembered for his achievement at the youth level, but unfortunately that is not the case. The left handed top order batsman is so forgotten that he is not on Guyana-Cricket website when you search for youth players that represented Guyana; an unimaginable situation. Unbelievably he never elevated to represent Guyana at the senior level in regional cricket but he did play in a Guyana Select XI against the touring Sri Lankans at Providence.
However, fortunately for him he still makes a living in the game through professional contracts in Trinidad and Tobago and North America.
Andre Stoll is a left arm fast bowler, who played several years of youth cricket. He could also be a useful lower order batsman or ‘big hitter’. Not the quickest of bowlers, but he is certainly an aggressive one, who loves to intimidate batsmen. The 24 year old toured with the Guyana squad in 2011 for the Caribbean T20 tournament but missed out on playing. He has been in and out of local cricket ever since. He had stints with League teams in the USA and Trinidad in 2012-2014. Last year he was a member of Georgetown Franchise in the Jaguars Franchise League, however, he is not one of those players contracted by the Guyana Cricket Board (GCB), so it would come as no surprise if he leaves the scene soon.
Stoll partnered Seon Daniels with the new ball at the youth level but the latter was the better bowler with his ability to swing the ball and outfox batsmen. He played U-15, U-17 and U-19 for Guyana but never made it to the senior team. At 25 Daniels dream of advancing to the senior level is probably over. He is a Police Officer, so he plays for the lawmen and recently he played professionally in the USA.
Lost in the Mix continues tomorrow when we put the spotlight on three more local talents.
