Veerasammy Permaul, the Guyana Jaguars left-arm spinner said yesterday that he was thrilled to be back in the West Indies setup ahead of the ‘A’ team’s tour of Sri Lanka which bowls off from October 1-November 1, 2016.
The 27-year-old, who was named in the West Indies ‘A’ One Day International (ODI) team led by Jason Mohammed, will face Sri Lanka’s ‘A’ side in three limited over matches on October 24, 27 and 30 and Permaul told Stabroek Sport in an exclusive interview yesterday that his hard work over the past few season had finally paid off.
“It feels great to get back here, I’ve been performing all the time and it’s nice to see it caught the eyes of the selectors,” said Permaul who played six Tests and six ODI’s for the West Indies from 2013-2015.
A top performer at the Regional level, Permaul ended the 2014/15 season as the leading wicket-taker with a little over 60 wickets.
