Since the inaugural outing by the Dudnauth Ramkissoon led West Indies under-19 team in 1970 to the United Kingdom, several sons have emulated their fathers’ feat.
Guyanese Sydney Matthews played an integral role during the 1970 historic tour to the United Kingdom. Thirty years later his son Ron Matthews was part of the Brenton Parchment led West Indies under-19 team to the United Kingdom. Ron also participated in the 2002 ICC Youth World Cup in New Zealand.
Dominican Lockhart Sebastien represented the West Indies under-19 twice in 1973 against the touring Australians at Kensington Oval and the following year 1974 when he toured the United Kingdom with the Colin Murray led side.
His son Liam continued the proud tradition when he represented the Region at the 2002 ICC Youth World Cup in New Zeeland. Carlton Baugh Sr represented the West Indies under-19 team against the touring Australians 1973 at the Kensington Oval. His son Carlton Baugh Jr toured the United Kingdom with the Brenton parchment led side in 2001.
Barbadian David Murray was Doodnauth Ramkissoon Deputy when the historic squad toured the United Kingdom in 1970. His son Ricky Hoyte toured Canada in 1989 with the Sherwin Campbell led West Indies under-19 team. Vincentian Dawnley Joseph was the opening batsman for the Zoral Barthly led West Indies under-19 team against young England in 1985. His son Dawnley Grant represented the Region at the ICC Youth World Cup in New Zealand in 2010.
Guyanese legend Shivnarine Chanderpaul was the star batsman when the Ian Bradshaw led West Indies under-19 toured the United Kingdom in 1993. His double century in the second youth test of the 1993 series is still to be emulated at the under-19 level by a West Indies Batsman in youth test. Could his son, Tagenarine, who represented the Regional under-19 team against young Bangladesh, eclipse his illustrious dad’s record.
Barbadian Shirley Clarke represented the West Indies under-19 twice in 1995 when the Gareth Breese led side toured Pakistan and Bangladesh. The following year 1996 he was at the helm against young Pakistan. The talk around Bridgetown is the Shirley Clarke is Kyle Mayers’ dad. Mayers represented the Region at the 2012 ICC Youth World Cup in Australia.
