West Indies Championships: Fit-again Tyndall replaces Nandu for remaining rounds
After an Easter break, the 2024 season of the West Indies Championships will resume next Wednesday with the Guyana Harpy Eagles making a solitary change to their squad on account of injury.
As the Harpy Eagles make a leap for a title defence in the final two rounds of the 2024 West Indies Championships, they will miss out on the services of batsman Matthew Nandu, who is out with an injury.
Sylus Tyndall has earned his maiden call-up to the GHE in this 4-day competition
According to a missive from the Guyana Cricket Board (GCB), Nandu sustained a shoulder injury in the previous round of the 4-Day championships, and that injury has been reaggravated during a training session this week, further leading to his omission.
When Guyana Harpy Eagles get ready to face the Jamaica Scorpions on Wednesday April 10 at Sabina Park, they will be joined by fast-bowler Sylus Tyndall, who has earned his maiden call-up to the Harpy Eagles 4-Day team. A former U19 national player, Tyndall has fully recovered from a chronic ankle injury which has been bothering him over the last 12 months.
The GHE team now reads: Captain Tevin Imlach, Vice- Captain Kevlon Anderson, Tagenarine Chanderpaul, Sylus Tyndall, Raymond Perez, Kemol Savory, Kevin Sinclair, Ronaldo Alimohamed, Gudakesh Motie, Veerasammy Permaul, Isai Thorne, Nial Smith and Akshaya Persaud.
After the GHE’s battle against Jamaica in Round 6 of the West Indies Championships, the Combined Campuses and Colleges would be the next team the GHE would face in the 7th and final Round of the competition at the Sir Frank Worrell Memorial Ground in St. Augustine, Trinidad and Tobago.
With 5 rounds completed, the Harpy Eagles are currently seated in 4th place on the points table with 66.8 points, 14.4 points shy of the top spot, which is currently occupied by the Leeward Islands Hurricanes.
Windward Islands Volcanoes are second with 71.6 points, while Barbados Pride are third with 67.4 points.
