On Wednesday evening the Guyana Cricket Board (GCB) held its awards ceremony where Romario Shepherd was named the male Cricketer-of-the-Year as well as the Most Improved Player.
While the 25-year-old could not receive his award due to international commitments, upon hearing the news he was ecstatic.
Stabroek Sport engaged the young all-rounder on his success and he responded, “Winning this award was a great feeling for me. You know, throughout the season my mind was never on the award. I was more focused on going out each and every game and doing my best for the team and leaving it all on the field.”
