Tahir credits unsung analyst for Warriors’ winning formula

Guyana Amazon Warriors (GAW) Captain Imran Tahir has praised Performance Analyst and Assistant Coach Prasanna Agoram for the extensive behind-the-scenes work that has contributed to the franchise’s impressive start to the Republic Bank Caribbean Premier League (CPL).
Tahir, speaking after another GAW victory, highlighted Agoram’s detailed preparation and analysis of teams across the Caribbean, saying his work has played a significant role in shaping the team’s bowling plans.
“Most importantly, there are certain people who stay behind the scenes, and they never get credit,” Tahir said. “Prasanna Agoram, he’s one of the guys who’s our analyst. He studied the whole Caribbean. He’s been with us for the last three years.”

According to Tahir, Agoram’s statistical analysis and tactical plans have given the Warriors’ bowling group a clear understanding of how to approach their opponents.
The veteran leg-spinner also praised the team’s collective effort, noting that the bowlers have embraced the plans presented by the coaching staff and analyst.
Tahir also pointed to the importance of adapting to match conditions, explaining that tactical changes can sometimes produce crucial breakthroughs.
He recalled introducing Glenn Phillips into the attack when two left-handers were at the crease, a move which immediately resulted in a wicket.
“That’s how cricket works sometimes. You have to play according to the conditions,” Tahir explained.
He singled out Shamar Joseph, Pretorius, and Shepherd for setting the standard during the middle overs, while also acknowledging the contributions of the rest of the bowling unit.

Tahir admitted he felt bad about not giving Kerry Pierre his full allocation of overs, but said the situation demonstrated the depth and selflessness within the squad.
“It’s great teamwork, and I think we’re very happy for each other’s success,” he said. “That’s what the Guyana Amazon Warriors are all about.”
Tahir also stressed the value of winning away from home, noting that victories on the road provide a significant advantage before the team returns to its home environment.
