Schultz to lead Berbice U-19, Glasgow appointed deputy

Tucber Park’s Gevon Schultz has been appointed captain of the Berbice Under-19 team to participate in the Guyana Cricket Board’s (GCB’s) Under-19 tournament, tentatively set for February 10.

Blairmont’s Seon Glasgow will serve as Schultz’s deputy for the upcoming tournament.
Glasgow and Schultz had both represented Guyana youth teams on previous occasions.
The Berbice Cricket Board (BCB) will announce the rest of the team shortly. Level three Coach Winston Smith is the Coach of the team, while Neil Rudder is the Manager.
According to selector Leslie Solomon, the Berbice team is expected to travel on February 9 with a 14-man squad. Six players will be on standby.

The BCB had begun preparations for this tournament since November, hosting trial matches and practice matches at Albion Community Centre Cricket Club. The players who participated in the trial matches were: Fawaz Gafoor, Rampertab Ramnauth, Ricardo Ramdehol, Marvan Prashad, Seon Glasgow, Shamal Angel, Chanderpaul Govindhan, Jonathan Rampersaud, Nigel Deodat, Gourav Ramesh, Doorsammy Mahadeo, Gevon Shultz, Leon Swammy, Abdul Ramsammy, Tomani Caesar, Lloyd David, Akash Heralall, Zeynul Ramsammy, Jeremy Sandia, Inzam Shazam, Tyrese Sealey, Aaron Beharry, Isaiah Thorne, Reyad Karim, Sarwan Chaitnarine, Isiah Anderson, Christopher Deroop, Mahendra Gopilall, Collis Noble and Surendra Ramcharitar
The final squad will have training sessions ahead of the proposed GCB U-19 tournament. Due to the presence of COVID-19, it was impossible for a GCB U-19 tournament to be hosted in 2020. Therefore, in the upcoming 2021 tournament slated for February, players who were eligible for Under-19 selection in 2020 will be allowed to play in the 2021 tournament.
Demerara were the one-day 50-over champions of the last Under-19 inter-county tournament, while Berbice had emerged champions of the three-day format back in 2019.
