Smith replaces Beaton in Harpy Eagles Super50 squad
Fast bowler Nial Smith is set to replace fellow speedster Ronsford Beaton ahead of the upcoming Cricket West Indies (CWI) Regional Super50 Men’s Championships, which bowl off on October 28.
Smith, who recently returned from injury, will replace Beaton who will miss the tour after failing to turn up to two scheduled fitness tests recently organised for the Guyana Harpy Eagles team and other contracted players.
The former West Indies pacer, who was recently cleared to bowl, added much-needed firepower to the Eagles unit given his experience and success during his brief run on the international stage.
However, Smith’s inclusion is a clean swap as the Berbice quick-man has established himself as one of the key bowlers in Guyana’s setup across all formats and will further boost the Eagles’ chances at bringing home the title.
