Rising talent Quentin Sampson has quickly made his mark in the Republic Bank Caribbean Premier League (CPL), featuring in just two matches for the Guyana Amazon Warriors (GAW) yet already proving his value on the big stage.
In his most recent outing, the young batsman played a crucial role in guiding his team to victory, finishing unbeaten on 33 from just 20 deliveries in a tense run chase. His composure under pressure and ability to accelerate the scoring rate highlighted both his potential and the Warriors’ growing batting depth.
Sampson credited the support and guidance of the Warriors’ management and senior players for helping him settle into the side.
“Yes indeed, a lot of things have been said in the meeting. During practice, the coaches and senior players come to me to say, ‘We already know you have the strength and the ability to hit the ball, but it’s good to pick up the singles and twos and be positive at all times.’ Wait on the bad balls and capitalise on it,” Sampson revealed.
Amazon Warriors captain Imran Tahir also praised the youngster, highlighting his maturity and temperament.
“One of the young talents who is very mature and knows about the game, which is really good for us as well. I’m really happy to see him do what he does, and we require that from him,” the skipper said.
Sampson’s early contributions come at the perfect time for the Warriors, who now return to Guyana for a five-match home stand. With the Providence Stadium crowd behind them, the Warriors will be eager to build momentum and strengthen their position in the tournament.
