Talented U19s awarded developmental scholarships from GAW franchise

The Guyana Amazon Warriors franchise is thrilled to announce that two exceptional young talents have secured scholarships to join the franchise during their home leg of the 2023 Republic Bank Caribbean Premier League (CPL).
The two promising players, batting all-rounder Mavindra Dindyal and fast bowling sensation Isai Thorne, have demonstrated outstanding skills, dedication and potential in their cricketing careers. The selection process was rigorous, with the franchise keen on aiding the development of young Guyanese players.
“We are delighted to welcome Mavindra and Isai to the Warriors Family,” Chairman of the franchise, Dr. Bobby Ramroop, said. “Their exceptional talents and passion for the game (have) truly impressed us. We believe this exposure will contribute significantly to their development, and their addition is a testament to our commitment in fostering young talents and providing a platform for them to shine.”

Dindyal and Thorne have both garnered attention for their remarkable performances at the grassroots and junior regional levels, where they have demonstrated their prowess with bat and ball. Both players have featured in the recently concluded Cricket West Indies Under-19 Regional Tournament, wherein Dindyal scored over 300 runs with a best of 94, while Thorne, who has also represented West Indies at the Youth World Cup, is widely regarded as one of the fastest bowlers in the region at the youth level.
“I am incredibly grateful for this opportunity,” Dindyal related. “Joining the Amazon Warriors has been a dream come true, and I am excited to learn from some of the best players in the game.”
Thorne, expressing his enthusiasm to be part of the set-up, highlighted, “Being part of the Warriors is an honour. I look forward to giving (of) my best, and learning as much as possible.”
