Leg Spinner Devendra Bishoo who comes from very humble beginnings is dedicated and places much emphasis on physical fitness. He started his cricket at the tender age of 11 years at the Albion Community Centre Cricket Club.”
“Because of his outstanding talent, he was quickly spotted and represented Berbice at the U-15, 17, 19 and Senior Levels. Devendra was so impressive that he caught the eyes of the National Selectors and was selected to represent Guyana at the U-15, 19 and Senior Levels.
Bishoo continues his dominance in his game and sent a strong message to the West Indies selectors who identified him to play for the West Indies A Team.”
