Thorne, Ramnauth, Dindyal selected for West Indies Under-15s

It has been officially confirmed that the Guyanese trio of Mavindra Dindyal, Rampertab Ramnauth and Isai Thorne will be part of the West Indies Under-15 Team to tour the United Kingdom for 15 days from August 4th.

These three players had represented the Golden Arrowhead with great dignity during the Cricket West Indies (CWI) Regional Under-15 tournament, and they have earned selection on the back of some stellar performances.
Dindyal, one of the brightest prospects in the Caribbean, will make a second appearance at this level; he was the lone Guyanese in the 2018 squad. Following up dream season with the bat for the Guyana U-15 team at the Regional level, the Georgetown Cricket Club (GCC) player finished the 2019 Under-15 tournament with the most runs. His standout performance came against 2018 champions Barbados, when he scored 126 from 120 balls.
Ramnuath, the highly gifted player from Port Mourant, recorded 114 against Jamaica, and a brilliant 92 in the final against Trinidad and Tobago, to finish as the second leading run-scorer behind Dindyal.

Wearing the tag as the fastest Under 15 Caribbean bowler, Thorne had a “player of the match” performance in the CWI Under-15 tournament against Windward Islands in Antigua. The furious fast bowler snared three wickets in that match and scored 21 valuable runs.

Known for scaring players of his age group, Throne extracts great bounce with the new ball, and is an experienced youngster who has had the luxury of playing in Guyana Under-15 teams in two successive years.
Speaking to this publication at the Rose Hall Canje Community Centre Ground during this week, Thorne expressed gratitude towards the selectors for recognising his talent and giving him this opportunity to play at a higher level.
“I am happy for the selection. When I get my opportunity, I just want to show that I can play good cricket,” he detailed.
This player, who represents the Rose Hall Canje Community Centre, is currently in preparation mode, and often carries out ‘drills’ at his home club.
Thorne received from the Cricket Board a call that confirmed his obvious selection. In the 2018 tour to the UK, the West Indies U-15 team played a 50-over tournament that featured teams across England. (Brandon Corlette)
