Guyana’s left-arm spinner, Gudakesh Motie, has earned himself a maiden call up after being named in the West Indies Test squad to face Bangladesh in the Caribbean later this month.

Motie is the only Guyanese in a 12 man squad named by the Cricket West Indies Men’s Selection Panel yesterday.

Motie, who has represented West Indies in T20Is, had a fruitful run in the recent Cricket West Indies regional four-day championships where he ended with 17 wickets at an average of 24.7. The Albion Community Centre Cricket Club player also struck a career-best 110 to end with a batting average of 45.
