Tucber Park Cricket Club congratulates Smith and Joseph
The Tucber Park Cricket Club (TPCC) has congratulated Nial Smith and Shamar Joseph for their selection to the Guyana Harpy Eagles senior team to participate in this year’s West Indies Championship.
Smith, who hails from Islington, New Amsterdam, has been selected for a third season. He has played 11 First-Class matches, taking 27 wickets, and is expected to lead the fast-bowling unit which also includes Ronsford Beaton and new selectee Shamar Joseph.

Joseph is enjoying his first call-up to any national team. The 23-year-old who hails from Baracara, Canje Creek (a riverine area in the Canje River), caught the attention of the selectors and cricket pundits when he struck an entertaining, unbeaten 67 against Essequibo, batting at number eight for the GCB Select XI in last year’s GCB Super50 Inter-county at Everest. Joseph further staked a claim for selection with eight wickets from the two trial matches held at Providence recently.
The Executive and members of TPCC wish both Smith and Joseph well for the upcoming tournament.
Guyana face Barbados in the opening round on February 1, 2023 in Antigua.
