The Guyana Cricket Board (GCB) has released the Guyana Harpy Eagles (GHE) 14-man squad for the Cricket West Indies Super50 tournament, which will commence on Tuesday, October 29, in Trinidad and Tobago.
Guyana Harpy Eagles Squad: Tagenarine Chanderpaul, Matthew Nandu, Tevin Imlach (captain), Kevlon Anderson, Kemol Savory, Kevin Sinclair, Keemo Paul (vice-captain), Ronaldo Aimohamed, Veerasammy Permaul, Isai Thorne, Ashmead Nedd, Ronsford Beaton, Sylus Tyndall, Rampertab Ramnauth. Standbys: Devon Lord, Antony Adams, Junior Sinclair, Richie Looknauth, Sachin Singh, Kanhaiya Ramkarran Dashing opener 18-year-old Rampertab Ramnauth is the new face in the squad, while pacers Ronsford Beaton and Sylus Tyndall are back in the mix. In an invited comment, Ramnauth told
News Room Sport on Sunday that he has been through a lot, noting, “I have prayed for this moment a lot, and I will cherish it.” “When I saw myself in the squad, tears of joy came from my eyes,” the Berbican added. More so, Beaton, who was reported for suspect action during the West Indies Four-Day Championship in May, had his action cleared a couple of months later. Tyndall, who was called to the Four-Day squad earlier in the year but didn’t play, gets an opportunity in the limited-overs format. Other fresh faces to the GHE Super50 squad are Ashmead Nedd and Isai Thorne. Still, both would have played List A cricket already, featuring for the West Indies Emerging team and the Combined Campuses and Colleges (CCC), respectively.

The former national youth player took 11 wickets at an average of 10.73 and an economy rate of 3.39. Additionally,
News Room Sport understands that Akshaya Persaud will likely feature for CCC, a team he previously represented in the Super50.
Devon Lord The entire selection panel—Ramnaresh Sarwan (Chairman), Peter Persaud (Demerara), Leslie Solomon (Berbice), and Norwayne Fedricks (Essequibo)—and Head Coach Ryan Hercules were present at the Georgetown Cricket Club, Bourda, for the Inter-County final on Saturday. Harpy Eagles’ first match, a day/night match at the Brian Lara Cricket Academy, will be against Windward Volcanoes on October 29. They are chasing their first Super50 title since 2005; last year, Trinidad and Tobago Red Force knocked them out at the semi-final stage. The post
