Nandu to captain GHE squad for CG United Super-50

…Teenaged Apple earns maiden call-up

The Guyana Cricket Board (GCB), in a missive on Monday, after successfully concluding the Queensway Super50 Inter-County Cup over the weekend at the Joe Jagmohan Ground, Hampton Court, Essequibo Coast; revealed the 14- member Guyana Harpy Eagles squad for the upcoming regional assignment.

The week-long inter- county tournament featured seven competitive matches that provided selectors with a valuable opportunity to assess performances ahead of the regional CG United Super50 competition.
Following the conclusion of the tournament, the GCB Selection Panel, headed by Chairman Ramnaresh Sarwan, named the GHE squad for the CG United Super50 tournament, which features some surprising inclusions and omissions.
The 14-member squad includes Matthew Nandu (Captain), Raymond Perez, Kevlon Anderson, Mavendra Dindyal, Kemol Savory (Wicketkeeper), Richie Looknauth, Zeynul Ramsammy, Ronaldo Alimohamed, Gudakesh Motie (Vice-Captain), Thaddeus Lovell, Sylus Tyndall, Keemo Paul, Junior Sinclair, and Shamar Apple.
Apple, who is just 16 years old, has been rewarded for his performances at regional under 19 and under 17 level and the selection panel feels his aggressive nature is something the team can benefit from.

The reserves are Kevin Sinclair, Antony Adams, Isai Thorne, Kevon Boodie, Tomanni Caesar, Romeo Deonarain, and Joshua Jones.
Meanwhile, Niall Smith (injured), Ashmead Nedd, Romario Shepherd, Sherfane Rutherford, Shimron Hetmyer and Quentin Sampson are all unavailable for selection as they are set to participate in the Abu Dhabi T10 League, while Tevin Imlach was not considered as he is expected to represent the West Indies.
According to the GCB, the Queensway Super50 Inter-County Cup once again highlighted the depth of talent in Guyana, as the Board continues its commitment to player development and regional competitiveness.
