With the selection of Guyanese players Ashmead Nedd, Joshua Persaud, Ronaldo Ali Mohamed, Raymond Perez and last but by no means least Bhaskar Yadram to the West Indies Under 19 team for next year’s Youth World Cup in New Zealand, a proud tradition is being continued by the above mentioned.
For the record, this is the third time that five Guyanese cricketers have been selected on a West Indies Under-19 team.
When Young Pakistan toured the Caribbean in 1996, those that represented the West Indies Under-19 team were Ramnaresh Sarwan, Hemnarine Chattergoon, Andy Chinsammy, Azeemul Haniff and Vishal Nagamootoo who was Shirley Clarke’s deputy.
