Singh seeking improved performance in second Regional U-19 outing

The flamboyant Guyana Under-19 left-handed batsman Sachin Singh is heading into the Cricket West Indies (CWI) Regional Under-19 tournament with abundant confidence that his performances would improve.
This tournament will commence in St Vincent and the Grenadines during the upcoming week, and the Guyana U-19 team are currently preparing to participate therein at the camp conducted by Coach Julian Moore and Team Manager Andy Ramnarine.
Guyana Times Sport caught up with Sachin Singh at the Chetram Singh Centre of Excellence cricket facility at La Bonne Intention (LBI), ECD during the past week, and in a chat, he spoke of making a return to the Guyana Under-19 team.
One of four Guyanese participants in the West Indies U-19 training squad, Singh told this reporter that he is aiming to improve his performance over last year’s.
“I come as an experienced player from last year, so I will be looking to help the younger ones in the setup,” Singh explained.
The solid left-hander, who bats at the top of the order, added that he has been working on some basic pull shots and punches.
Having played in the Guyana team that won the championship in St Vincent and the Grenadines in 2018, Singh says he has vast experience playing in that Caribbean country, and is aware of the necessary adjustments required of him as he heads into this Regional Under-19 tournament.
Singh reflected on his performance in the Hand-in-Hand Under-19 Inter-County tournament, which he described as not one of his best.
“I probably got one score above 20, which was a 48 in the One-Day final against Berbice; but I have learnt a lot (about) how to handle the pressure and so forth”, Singh disclosed.
The confident lad told this reporter he is aiming to score many runs in this Regional U-19 tournament. “My main goal is to score the most runs this year”, Singh declared.
Asked if the tag of “West Indies U-19 selectee” adds any pressure on him, Singh replied: “No. To be honest, I don’t really think about it; I just go out there and play my game”.
Singh who plays for the home of legends, Demerara Cricket Club (DCC), has extended gratitude to his day-one coach, Garvin Nedd, Mr. St John, and Coach Julian Moore. He further thanks Dennis Squires of the DCC and Sherfane Rutherford.
Singh, who has come through the ranks, is a highly gifted youth player who has played for the Guyana Under-15 Team and had captained the Guyana Under-17 Team last year. He is among the few players from Guyana to have played both Regional Under-17 and Regional Under-19 tournaments in the same year. (Brandon Corlette)
