The President, Executive and Members of the Demerara Cricket Club (DCC) have extended congratulations to Christopher Barnwell on his
appointment as Captain of the Guyana Jaguars Team to compete in the West Indies Cricket Board/NAGICO Super-50 Tournament in Trinidad and Tobago this month. This is the second consecutive year that Barnwell has been entrusted with the captaincy, having led the team to the semi-finals at last year’s competition. The Club also wishes to congratulate opening batsman Trevon Griffith and pacer Paul Wintz.
“Coming at a time when no Guyanese was selected to represent the West Indies in the 2015 World Cup, we hope that Barnwell and his team can emerge victorious and some of the players subsequently go on to represent the West Indies,” a release from the club stated.
“The President, Executive and Members of the DCC also wish to congratulate young Keemo Paul on his selection to represent West Indies Under-19 squad. This talented all-rounder also represented Guyana at the Under-17 level and was recently rewarded by the Guyana Cricket Board (GCB) for bagging the most wickets in the regional tournament.”
Barnwell, Griffith, Wintz and Paul join a long list of DCC players who represented Guyana and the West Indies, including the legends Clive Lloyd, Lance Gibbs, Roy Fredericks, Roger Harper and Travis Dowlin et al.
The release continued, “The club’s president Alfred Mentore believes that Barnwell as Captain has certainly come of age where he should strive to record his first list ‘A’ Century together with other useful scores coupled with his current improved first class performances; he could surely position himself for selection to the West Indies Teams.
It is interesting to note that in a few of the shorter formats currently being played no Guyanese has featured so the time is opportune for Guyanese to showcase their talents and thereby receive due recognition from the Selectors of the West Indies Cricket Board.”
