Ramlall grateful for experience gained in Guyana leg of ICC U19 World Cup

The ICC Men’s U19 50-over World Cup hosted the first leg of the tournament in Guyana. The action saw the Providence Stadium and Everest Cricket Club being used for the official matches. Other grounds, such as the Georgetown Cricket Club and the Police Ground, among others, were used for training and warmup matches.
For Sunil Joshua Ramlall, the experience was like no other, as, for the games, he was brought on as a Data Analyst for SportsRadar. This publication caught up with Ramlall, who said the experience was a bit unique, as his job required him to break down what he saw to better help viewers that aren’t at the venue to understand what it’s like at the game.
“In a nutshell, I basically had to watch the game and break down the information I’ve seen for the viewers. For example, if John Doe hit a 6, I would break down how he hit the six, what shot was offered, who was bowling, how the ball was delivered, and more. We basically try (as) hard as possible to give people an experience as if they were actually at the event; and we know how it is during these trying times: (people) need some form of entertainment”, Ramlall clarified.
Ramlall explained that he was extremely grateful to John Ramsingh, who had recommended him for the position, as well as for having the privilege of working with some of his fellow countrymen, such as Mark Harper, Reon King and renowned radio presenter Inderjeet Persaud, along with other delegates of the ICC.

In terms of what he has gained, Ramlall divulged that it has taught him that one must always remain humble, and have patience, as good things come to those who wait. He relayed that if you do good, good things would come your way.
Being one of the many Guyanese among the array of talents from all around the world, Ramlall has said the feeling was great, as his main goal was to keep Guyana’s name high. “I was pretty overwhelmed, being honest. My colleagues from Australia would hit me up on WhatsApp before or on game day just to tell me relax, I got this.
“Then getting to meet the people behind the scenes: the match officials, the ICC officials, the Guyana Support staff that actually make the event happen on the ground, was just amazing to see and an experience to have. If I had to choose between watching cricket in the stands or working from behind-the-scenes, I would choose behind-the-scenes every chance I get,” he posited.
