Romario Ramdeholl to lead Guyana’s U17 squad to regional CWI tournament

The Guyana Cricket Board (GCB) on Friday officially announced the national Under-17 squad selected to represent Guyana at the 2025 CWI Rising Stars Regional Under-17 Tournament, scheduled for August 11 to September 2 in Trinidad and Tobago.
The squad will be led by Romario Ramdeholl as captain, with Parmeshwar Ram named vice-captain. Also named in the touring party are Richard Ramdeholl, Lomar Seecharran, Emmanuel Lewis, Adrian Hetmyer, Shamar Apple, Nicholas Lovell, Feeaz Baksh, Dave Mohabir, Navindra Sankar, Gibran Yacoob, Micah Amsterdam, and Darwin Joseph.

Standby players include Vishal Williams, Bhomesh Lall, Johnathan Mentore, Shane Prince, Jathniel Nurse, and Dhanesh Persaud.
This year’s tournament will be contested in both two-day and 50-over formats, offering young cricketers an invaluable opportunity to compete at a high level while developing their technical and mental approach to the game.
Encampment for the selected players will commence shortly, with focus placed on tactical refinement and building team cohesion ahead of their departure. The camp is set to have both two-day and 50-over practice matches in an effort to have the team match-ready as they head to Trinidad and Tobago, hoping to be the first Guyana team to win the elusive regional Under-17 tournament.
The selection panel made its final decisions following a structured evaluation process, including April’s Inter-County 50-Over competition and a two-day trial match played recently.
In the trial match, a dominant all-round performance helped one team secure a commanding victory at the La Bonne Intention ground. After bowling out their Ramdeholl’s XI for just 107 inside 45 overs in the second innings through disciplined and sustained pressure. Mohabir’s XI raced to victory with National under-15batsman Lomar Seecharran top scoring with 49 not out.
The GCB congratulates all selected players and commends the commitment shown by every athlete throughout the selection process.
The Board remains fully committed to the ongoing development of youth cricket through competitive structures and opportunity-driven programmes.
