Tucber Park CC congratulates Shepherd on Jaguars selection

After an outstanding performance in the Guyana Cricket Board (GCB) Jaguars Franchise League where he ended as the leading fast bowler, Romario Shepherd was rewarded with a place in the Guyana Jaguars squad for their second and third game of the Digicel Regional Four Day Tournament.

The gigantic fast bowler, who collected 34 wickets in the Jaguars Franchise League was selected to replace fellow Berbician Eon Hooper for the two away games in St. Kitts and Nevis followed by St. Lucia. However, on his ascendance to the Jaguars squad the executives of his club would like to congratulate him. The following is the message that was received by this publication.

The executives and members of Tucber Park Cricket Club (TPCC) congratulates Romario Shepherd on his call up for the WICB PCL four day tournament. He was selected to replace Eon Hooper in the Guyana Jaguars squad to play against Leeward Island and Windward Island in the second and third round of the PCL.

Shepherd, who represented Guyana at the Under 15 and Under 19 level became the second player (Anthony D’Andrade represented UWI Vice Chancellor’s XI against the Touring Zimbabwe team in 2010) from TPCC to play List ‘A’ when he made debut earlier this year against Leeward Islands. He was named man of the match in his only limited overs game claiming 3/37. Shepherd now has the chance to become the second player from TPCC to play First Class cricket after former national pacer Jeremy Gordon played in 2006/07.

Once again TPCC would like to congratulate Shepherd and wish him all the best as he continues to make his family, the club, Berbice and Guyana proud.
