Guyana’s next generation of cricketers, the National U-15 team, departed these shores yesterday for Antigua and Barbuda, where they will compete for top honours in the Cricket West Indies (CWI) Rising Stars 50-Over title, which bowls off tomorrow.
The Guyanese lads, who are led by Adrian Hetmyer with Emmanuel Lewis as his deputy, will take on Barbados in their opening encounter.
Prior to their departure, the team underwent a 12-day encampment at the Guyana Cricket Board’s (GCB) LBI facility on the East Coast of Demerara. During their encampment, the team went through rigorous sessions designed to improve their skill sets ahead of the competition.
