Mohammed dedicates MoM performance to ‘second dad’

“Coming into the tournament I had lost someone very close to me and I dedicated this to him, Johnny Bhujuan who is like a second father to me.” an emotional Mohammed said at the post match press briefing.

Mohammed, who was named Man of the Match for his responsible and match winning innings of 43 not out, was speaking to the media after receiving his prizes and said Johnny Bhujaun who passed away just before the start of Hero Caribbean Premier League (CPL) this year was his dear friend.
Bhujuan, who resided in Canada was one of the most inspirational persons to Mohammed and encouraged him to excel in the sport.
The Trinidadian Mohammed has made an immediate impact since joining the Guyana Amazon Warriors squad having previously played for the Trinidad and Tobago Red Steel in CPL. With his responsible top order batting, he has helped the Warriors over the line twice with match winning knocks and has taken eight very important and spectacular catches. With the conditions at Providence favouring the spinners, Mohammed also bowled a few useful spells especially to the lefthanders where his off-breaks were spinning away.
In CPL 2016, the 29 year old Warrior has accumulated 163 runs in six innings at an average of 54.3 with his most recent knock, 43 not out against the St. Lucia Zouks as his highest.
The experienced Mohammed is expected to play a major part in the remainder of the tournament as the Warriors hit the road again beginning on Friday July 15 against the Jamaica Tallawahs at Sabina Park.
