Foreword
Message from Whycliffe ‘Dave’ Cameron President West Indies Cricket Board I bring you New Year’s greetings on behalf of the West Indies Cricket Board, and the entire West Indies cricket organization. It is my hope that 2015 finds West Indies cricket on the rise, and the assurance of support for the game, that we all love so much, by beloved fans across the region. For us West Indians, cricket is more than a game. It is a lifestyle. It is a symbol of regional pride. Moreover, it has been, arguably, our most unifying force in the Caribbean. From Jamaica to the North, to Guyana to the South, the West Indian caravan of fans has seen our players through the highs and lows, and has been there every step of the way to critique and to support. As we reflect on the year behind us, I thank everyone for their involvement in the growth of the

game. As the Regional Board, we have had a longstanding and solid relationship with the Guyana Cricket Board. The Windies Board has been there through the domestic challenges, and the successes of the Regional Boards. Indeed, as President, one of my first official duties was to mediate the dispute between the GCB and Government. We are happy that both parties are working together to resolve their differences for the love of the game. Guyana continues to be one of the premier breeding and feeder grounds for regional cricket and we intend to continue nurturing that field. Just recently, I commended the Guyana team for winning the Regional Under-15 Tournament for the third time, defeating Jamaica
by 11 runs. I have also reached out in praise to the Guyana team for being crowned Regional Under-19 One-Day winners, two weeks after winning the 3-Day title. Those wins are not accidental. The GCB has shown solid leadership in preparing their players for regional competitions and in maximizing exposure for the cricketing talents of their young people. In my view, the facilitation of such tournaments is extremely important in helping to identify players who have the potential to play the game at the highest level in the region. The WICB will continue to work with the GCB to ensure that there are dozens more talented young people who aspire to represent their region on the premier stage.
In 2014, the partnership between the GCB and West Indies cricket was entrenched through a number of national endeavors that have had regional implications. Key among those was the WICB and the GCB’s facilitation of a national Grassroots programme that targeted young people between the ages of 11 and 17. The programme’s goal has been to identify and streamline a reservoir of talented players for upward mobility at the national and regional levels of the game. The cadre of coaching professionals has also seen a significant national boost, with the support of the GCB in securing the services of military-style fitness trainers, who have brought a heightened level of training expertise and intensity to the national team, getting them ready to compete with their regional counterparts. We are confident that, this year,
we will make possible further training opportunities in all facets of the game, by proven professionals of West Indies cricket, who will lend their skills on the national levels for regional advancement. As President of the West Indies Cricket Board, I will continue to spearhead initiatives that showcase the cricketing talents of our young men and women on the international level. My appointment to the Executive Board of the ICC has given me a unique opportunity to negotiate more effectively on behalf of West Indies cricket. Already, we have secured the 2018 Women’s World Cup Tournament, which will broaden the cricketing spectrum. In June of this year, the region will also host the ICC Cricket Conference that will bring together an unprecedented group of professionals to share best practices for the development of world cricket.
The success of cricket at the national levels will ensure the success of regional cricket. West Indies cricket is, indeed, everyone’s business in this region, and we ought to do whatever we can, as the custodians, to ensure the longevity of the game and the triumph of our team. Together, we will restore the great legacy of our forefathers, and pass those on to the ensuing generations. I thank the GCB for their continued cooperation, and I extend best wishes to the organization for continued accomplishments and innovations. I also thank Guyanese fans everywhere for their unwavering support of regional cricket. I look forward to the further deepening of the relationship between the GCB, WICB and the Government and people of Guyana.
We are the leaders in the Shipping Industry

GCB PRESIDENT MESSAGE It is indeed an honor and privilege to be the President of one of the most prestigious sporting organizations in Guyana and, further, it is equally gratifying to be the head, at a time, when the Guyana Cricket Board is faced with numerous relentless challenges off the field of play, whilst reaping rewarding successes on the field of play. It is my utmost desire to ensure that this success continues under my leadership. I am extremely grateful to have a group of hardworking, dedicated and visionary Executives and staff that support each other throughout the constant rough and challenging times. Our success in 2014 is ample evidence of the strength, self-belief and determination of this administration. Over the past several years, we have remained steadfastly committed to our mandate and have executed to the best of our abilities with the limited resources available. Surely, 2014 can be designated as the most improved year for our cricket this century as we embraced the new franchise system for First Class cricket introduced by the West Indies Cricket Board. This glorious sport of cricket continues to rapidly transform itself from a hobby to a huge global business. We have witnessed this with the rapid expansion of the T20 cricket leagues across the world, and even regionally now, the Territorial Boards in the West Indies are involved in preparing and managing their own franchises for Re-

The Guyana Cricketer - Issue 2 / 2014 Edition
Mr. Drubahadur gional First Class Competitions; an initiative and investment which I think will speed up the development and maturity of our players. Our own Franchise, the CGI Guyana Jaguars, has done us extremely proud so far in both the Regional 4-Day and the NAGICO Super50 Tournaments. We will continue to support their development and provide the necessary support and infrastructure required for their success. This is the second year for the ‘Guyana Cricketer’ magazine, which records and highlights the work and achievements of the Guyana Cricket Board, its membership, players and officials. I commend the Marketing Manag-
er, Mr. Rajendra Singh and the Secretary, Mr. Anand Sanasie for their diligent work in getting this publication completed. Of course, I must express a big thank you to our sponsors who willingly placed their advertisements in our magazine; we greatly appreciate your support. Our battles in the courts and Parliament were at their peak last year when the Cricket Administration Bill was passed in May and the GCB was prevented from functioning for a brief period, coincidentally, around the same time. The Bill is now Law, having been assented to and gazetted in August, and the GCB has since mounted a legal challenge by way of a constitutional motion to this Cricket Administration Act. The GCB is very appreciative of strident support of our parent body, the West Indies Cricket Board, for standing up strongly for the rule of law and its contractual obligation to its shareholders. On behalf of the entire GCB, I wish to also express my gratitude to our competitions’ sponsors, especially those, who stuck with us throughout the very difficult times. My Executive and I intend to forge ahead in the year 2015 with some initiatives and plans that are intended to add excitement and value to the game, players, coaches, officials, administrators and, most of all, the spectators. We remain committed towards taking Guyana cricket to a higher level and we are eager to work with all stakeholders in this development.
GCB SECRETARY REPORT - 2014 By Anand Sanasie On the field of play, the period under review can be classified as a dream year for Guyana’s cricket, but our challenges continued in the courtrooms from within the organization and sadly from the very Government of the day. The administration of cricket and its concomitant successes achieved in 2014 on the field of play by our cricketers and the Guyana Cricket Board was par excellence; the Board selected and prepared champion teams in both the various levels of junior and senior categories. While the Cricket Report segment will provide details, I would like to highlight a few outstanding achievements for 2014: • The Guyana Under-15 team won the WICB Regional Competition in Jamaica for the first time this century, where they convincingly defeated most of the top countries including the host in the final round. This title eluded us for several years and finally returned to Guyana after 15 years in the wilderness. Prior to this year, Guyana won the Under-15 title only twice before, in 1998 and 1999. • The Guyana Under-19 teams took on their regional rivals at home in the Three-Day and the 50-Over WICB tournaments and won both competitions comprehensively. The teams were so dominant this year that they played unbeaten in both the 50-Overs version of the game where they finished with the most points (43.7) and in the Three-Day format with two convincing victories and a solitary draw.

The Guyana Cricketer - Issue 2 / 2014 Edition
• T h e Guyana Senior men team ended the first segment of the West In- d ie s Cricket Board Professional Cricket League Tournament with the most points (57). They thrashed Leeward Islands, Windward Islands and Trinidad and Tobago but narrowly lost against Barbados by a mere two runs in a disastrous final session after outplaying that team throughout the match. • At the time of writing this report we are already in the finals of the 2015 Super 50 Tournament. • For quite a long time, Guyana has not produced so many cricketers that were worthy enough to represent the Regional side and 2014 was a watershed year for such production. The Guyana Cricket Board saw four cricketers in 2014 that were selected to the Senior West Indies team, namely, Shivnarine Chanderpaul, Leon Johnson, Assad Fudadin and Narsingh Deonarine. • The Board also produced four players that represented the West Indies ‘A’ team in 2014, namely, Leon Johnson, Assad Fudadin, Devendra Bishoo and Ronsford Beaton. • GCB produced two cricketers that represented the West Indies Under-19 team in 2014 at the World Cup as well. They were Tagenarine Chanderpaul and Shemron Hetmyer. • On the ladies side, GCB produced Tremayne Smartt, Shemaine Campbelle and Subrina Munroe for the West Indies Female team selection.
Anand Sanasie Marketing and Sponsorship. From a marketing and administrative standpoint, the year 2014 continued to be most challenging with the very continued unsettled and fractured environment that we have had to operate within. Most of our senior and youth competitions remain unsponsored and had to be funded by the GCB itself. The GCB has remained steadfastly committed to ensuring that we produce quality national teams for all levels of our cricket and we have been 100% successful in this regard. So much so, that our national teams enjoyed unprecedented successes in 2014. Surely, these successes should enable us to translate and encourage our corporate community to form stronger partnerships with us. We had set ourselves quite an ambitious target for sponsorship last year; but still managed to achieve just about 40% of same due mainly to our herculean efforts with our 70th Anniversary edition
of our inaugural magazine- The Guyana Cricketer. This magazine has been a tremendous success story for the Board in 2014. Some of our key Officers undertook this project by volunteering their services, rather than outsourcing the work by hiring experts in the publishing field, and we managed to raise an impressive $4,000,000 from this initiative. We attracted close to 50 sponsors for our magazine which was officially launched in February 2014. Another success story on the marketing front had been the creation and completion of our own website for the Board, www.guyanacricketboard.com. This website was launched in April 2014 with our staff having been trained in the hosting and updating of same. This site needs some more developmental work to get it up to the required end product that the Board and the cricketing public demand and this forms part of our projects for 2015. Towards the latter part of the year myself and the Marketing Manager, Mr. Raj Singh attended a WICB workshop regarding the preparation of a Business Plan for our new franchise. It is a true testimony to our strength, dedication and commitment that we had our franchise, Cricket Guy Inc, formed with a Business Plan in September, 2014. We then were the first Regional Board to officially launch our franchise, the “Guyana Jaguars� franchise, that same month with a power point presentation led by our Marketing Manager for the benefit of all our first division cricketers and other interested persons at the Everest Cricket Club pavilion. With the advent of the new franchise and the delineation of the responsibilities of the franchise and the Board, we are now strategically poised to totally professionalize our game at all levels. This will surely drive our marketing efforts in a positive direction in 2015 and beyond. Cricket Development
Scotiabank Kiddy Cricket Program 2014
During 2014, the GCB conducted the Scotiabank Kiddy Cricket Program throughout many locations of Guyana. The program featured a coaching and development component as well as cricket competition among and between schools. There were many zonal and district winners. Further, four (4) summer camps for selected priA Guyana Cricket Board Publication

mary school students were held during August 2014. Two of these summer camps were held in Demerara (one at Thirst Park Ground and the other at Enmore), one in Essequibo at the Imam Bacchus Ground, while the other summer camp was held in Berbice at the All Saints Presbyterian Ground. The summer camp program at Enmore included a personal development aspect of “Public Speaking and Communication.” In addition, it must be acknowledged that the nature and conduct of the Scotiabank Kiddy Cricket Program attracted a high level of media coverage.
WICB/GCB GRASSROOT Program, 2014
The WICB/GCB Grass Root Program of 2014 came to an eventful end at the end of September, 2014. The Cricket Development Committee of the GCB has been indeed grateful for such a program which has effectively helped to promote the GCB’s 2014 youth development program. A number of youths across Guyana ages 11 to 17 years old benefitted from the exposure to this program. Many of these players are likely to form part of the nucleus of future Association, County and National youth teams.
Secondary School Cricket
With the conclusion of WICB Grassroot Program at the end of September, 2014, the GCB’s Coaching Education program from October, 2014 has begun to place greater emphasis on the Secondary School program. Currently employed coaches are delivering sessions with interested students on a group basis at various locations

The Guyana Cricketer - Issue 2 / 2014 Edition
across the country. As the program continues, this coaching attention is expected to be initiated from the school – with individual secondary schools receiving training before recommendation is made to select the better players for training under a zonal and/or district basis. Seminars/Workshops Two WICB Child Protection programs were held during 2014, namely Trainer of Trainers and Trainer of Coaches. The Trainer of Trainer program had as its objective the preparing and development of tutors so as to enable the effective conduct of such child protection programs locally. A Team Managers’ seminar was conducted in 2014 and targeted individual managers and/ or aspiring managers from across Guyana. The seminar was deemed a success and participants indicated that knowledge gained will be purposefully utilized. A Scoring Workshop was conducted during the 2014 period, with the main focus being basic scoring applications. However, plans are in place for progressive scoring development activities to be conducted. A seminar for Umpires and Match Referees was conducted during the period of 2014. The main objective of this exercise was to encourage potential Umpires and Match Referees to said fields.
Planned Scotiabank Kiddy Cricket Program 2015
The GCB, as usual, plans to conduct the Scotiabank Kiddy Cricket Program across the country of Guyana. The 2015 program is expected to be conducted throughout
many locations of Guyana. The program will feature a coaching and development component as well as cricket competition among and between schools. The Scotiabank Kiddy Cricket Program for 2015 shall include Scotiabank Kiddy Cricket launch, Coaching of identified primary school students (ages 7 -9, that is, Grade 3 and 4) – Feb to April, 2015, Scotiabank Kiddy Cricket Competition – May to June, 2015, Scotiabank Kiddy Cricket Festivals (1 in each of the 3 counties), July, 2015, Scotiabank Kiddy Cricket Rehearsal (Preparation for International Match Lunch Period, Scotiabank Kiddy Cricket Display) – 2015, approximately one week prior to International Cricket Match, Scotiabank Kiddy Cricket International Display- 2015, Date to be announced, Scotiabank Kiddy Cricket Summer Camps (1 in each of the 3 Counties) – August, 2015, Coaching of identified primary school students (ages 7 -9, that is, Grade 3 and 4) – Sept to Dec, 2015 and Scotiabank Kiddy Cricket Christmas (3 locations that may have received limited coaching education or none at all during the course of 2015, an example will be Pomeroon.
Secondary School Cricket- 2015
The GCB intends to manage a secondary schools’ cricket league during 2015. This league will be for interested students from secondary schools from across the country and shall focus on the age groups of Under 13, Under 15 and Under 17. It is the GCB’’s intention to target both males and females within these categories. The sponsored component of the Secondary School cricket is

As a consequence, the GCB views the cricket development personnel intervention as pertinent in fostering an avenue for local cricket professionalism by enhancing the standards and quality of the service delivery personnel within the realms or ambits of the game administered in Guyana. During 2015, the GCB will place emphasis on personnel development through the conduct seminars and workshops on the following topics such as: Team Management, Leadership and Captaincy, Public Speaking and Communication, Scoring, Umpiring, the Match Referee Roles, First Aid and Child Protection.

WICB Foundation, Level 1 & 2 Coaching Courses
Individuals interested in participating in the WICB Foundation Coaching Course are being asked to demonstrate such interest with the Territorial Development Officer of the GCB. Two of these courses will be conducted in March, 2015 and shall target mainly club cricket coaches, players and school teachers. The new WICB Level 1 program module should be completed by January/February of 2015. Thereafter, attention would be shifted to formulating the new WICB Level 2 and for the first time the Level 3 Coaching Certification Courses. Facility Development During 2014, the Chetram Singh Centre of excellence was refurbished with extensive capital and maintenance works done. Every room at this facility is now equipped with air conditioners to ensure our cricketers are comfortable. At the time of this report maintenance and rehabilitative works continue at the Anna Regina Hostel and practice facility.

The Guyana Cricketer - Issue 2 / 2014 Edition
Rain has interrupted works at the GNIC facility which is being prepared to enhance the preparation of our franchise players along with those players in the Demerara area who are interested in using the facility. We are still hopeful that our proposal to develop the LBI Community Centre into a First Class facility can be favorably considered in 2015 by Guysuco and the Government so that cricket and the community at large can benefit. Guyana Jaguars Franchise. The new WICB franchise system saw the emergence of the “Guyana Jaguars” in the year 2014. At the time of writing this report our Jaguars have roared into the semi finals of this inaugural tournament. Our contracted players are now paid reasonably to practice and play while additional earnings are garnered through match fees. This new structure has certainly revolutionized the way we now manage the game; it professionalized the way we run our business. The “Cricket Guy Inc.”, our franchise company is mandated to manage our franchise and operate independent of the Guyana Cricket
Board, as required by the WICB in all of its member territories. The business plan for this company was presented to the WICB and accepted in its entirety. Staff. I wish to record my thanks to all those who assisted the Board during the year and also to the dedicated staff at the Guyana Cricket Board’s Secretariat, my fellow Executives, Clubs and Board Officials. I also note that because of her dedication to the job Mrs. Savitri Persaud was awarded for her service as an Administrator after Twenty (20) years on the job. Conclusion. The year under review was satisfactory and we must look forward to doing better in 2015. Members, the Executive Committee and staff must stay focused on the task at hand and not be deterred by the many critics and distractions as keeping our youths’ interest in the sport and ensuring that the talented are nurtured, encouraged and helped, should be our goal. This, in turn, will produce the desired results on the field of play which will translate into stability and resolution of our many challenges.
2013/2015 EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE OF THE GCB
GCB AWARDS CEREMONY 2014 made a conscious decision to forge ahead with stringent and thorough preparation of all the representative teams that competed at the various levels with heavy emphasis being placed on fitness and mental preparation along with arranging adequate practice matches for those teams. Indeed, the weather had been very kind to us in 2014, and our players made full use of same during their preparation and competitions, even though we suffered somewhat with the weather in the Regional Under 17 tournament. Surely, for this century, Guyana has not enjoyed such a bumper year, as 2014, both on and off the field. Once again, our awards ceremony was held at the Georgetown By Raj Singh Cricket Club Members Pavilion, on Thursday 18th December 2014, The year 2014 will surely be re- where we gathered to bestow fitting flected upon by most, if not all of accolades and honors to our deGuyana, with the remarkable suc- serving heroes for that cricket year. cesses enjoyed by our male and fe- We witnessed a massive turnout of male National teams at the various invitees and awardees that filled levels on the cricket field, both at the entire hall with several persons home and abroad.

As a consequence of the “plethora of Regional titles” won this year, GCB awa rded medals to the Under 19 teams for achieving the significant distinction of scoring the double at the 50 Overs and the 3 day Regional tournaments; the Under 15 team for winning that title after 15 years; the female team for being runners up in this year’s tournament and the Under 17 team for performing very creditably in their competition. To round it off very nicely this year, at the end of the 4th round of the WICB Professional Cricket League, our Franchise team, the CGI Jaguars leads the points table with 57 points gained from 3 comprehensive victories. This has indeed been a great year for our cricket in Guyana. 2015 can only get better, the foundation has already been laid, and it is now just left for us to build on this solid base.

A CURSORY REVIEW OF OUR NEW WICB FRANCHISE SYSTEM By Raj Singh Upon specific instructions from our parent body, WICB Inc., all territorial boards were required to put in place a completely new system to cater for the professional administration of senior male First Class cricket in the 6 territories. Legal formation and structure The first order of business was to register a new corporate entity to serve as the professional independent administrative and operational arm of the territorial Board which was duly completed. The GCB already had a corporate commercial entity called DEB Essential Organization Inc. in place, which had been formed since August 2011; so it was simply decided to change the name of that entity to comply with the requirements of the WICB; hence the birth of Cricket Guy Inc. (CGI). Our Franchise team decided to use ‘The CGI Guyana Jaguars’ as its marketing brand. This new entity is owned by the members of the GCB with a few prominent persons serving on its directorship. The management of the new entity is headed up by a Chief Executive Officer and has a full complement of professional staff, including: Head Coach, Manager/Assistant Coach, Academy Coach, Trainer, Physiotherapist, Finance and Marketing personnel. Further, the directors of the Franchise have developed a business plan which is guiding the administration and operations of the Franchise.
Aims, OBJECTIVES & Purpose of the Franchise The main purpose of this new entity is to administer and professionalize First Class cricket in the West Indies aimed at producing the very best quality cricketers to make WI the #1 team in the world. The Franchise system model is the brainchild of the new WI Director of Cricket, Mr. Richard Pybus, and was modelled after the systems in place in South Africa and other parts of the cricketing world. The implementation of this system was subsequently approved by the WICB Board of Directors. This system will, basically, be developed across the region to earmark all the best players to eventually emerge and be professionally occupied throughout the year during the preparatory phases and the extended First Class competitions. This process is intended to serve as a feeder system for the Senior Regional teams. Players would now be paid for their commitment to their careers and their professional development would ensue, since there would be a very structured development program to their game with all the necessary support systems expected to be in place. Players would now be held accountable to CGI; and the Franchises, in turn, can then demand excellence from them. There are now 6 Regional teams with 15 contracted players each; CGI has made a commitment to contract another 12 players on their own so that our pool would be strengthened and more players
can now make cricket their professional careers. This new system is specifically designed to weed out non-committed cricketers and reward the quality ones. Everyone now has to make a conscious decision on whether they want to make cricket their career or not- this system will not cater for players desirous of having cricket as a fall back career, but as a full time paid profession. There are also special provisions to deal with players who desire to pursue their academics, which the franchises will be strongly encouraging. Financing The WICB/CPL has made a commitment of USD$45,000 per month to fund the administration and operations of each Franchise which is guaranteed for, at least, the next 8 years. It is understood that this amount would definitely be inadequate for the anticipated expenditure for the programs and activities planned; and the Franchise structure provides a mechanism whereby the Franchises can now engage corporate sponsors in more strategic alliances that would benefit all the parties involved. The Franchises are to be run as businesses or corporate entities. The 15 contracted players stand to earn at least USD$15,000 each to as much as USD$30,000 each A Guyana Cricket Board Publication

in retainer fees alone, that is, without even playing a single Regional match. Match fees will be paid to the entire squad selected, in addition to their retained earnings if they are also contracted. Players not retained are also eligible to earn match fees if they are selected to represent the Franchise in a Regional match. Potentially, a retained player who plays the entire season can earn as much as USD$50,000 annually. Responsibilities of CGI, GCB and the Retained Players CGI would now be fully responsible for all the WICB First Class tournaments, both the 4 day & 1 day competitions. The Franchise would also be responsible for developing programs and activities for the players and for the general preparation of the 15 contracted players throughout the year including the overall administration of the First Class competitions. The Guyana Cricket Board would now only be responsible for youth and female cricket administration and operations along with International and T20 cricket. GCB would also be responsible for cricket development programs
22

for those categories of players and match officials, etc. The retained players and others would now be responsible for their own development and the progression of their respective careers thus charting their own pathway to success. They would need to fully understand their new roles in this new dispensation, since they would now be governed by a contractual obligation. They would also be required to maintain certain minimum fitness levels all year round. Most contracts would be issued for a year and it is important that everyone, inside or outside of the retainers, treat the situation as a job, profession and career. Their contracts are not guaranteed for a lifetime and it is expected that retained players will continuously work hard to earn a contract every year. Players would thus be responsible for their own destinies and this would force them to be more professional in their approach and outlook to the game. Those fringe players, without retainer contracts, would continuously be knocking on the doors, which will ensure that those retained players remain honest to their commitment and performance. This would guarantee more quality players emerg-
ing to challenge for slots in the WI team and, thus, generally improving the standard of our First Class competitions. Draft system For the first year, each Franchise was allowed to select the first 10 players from their own territories and they were each required to enter a further 15 players into a draft from which they had to select their remaining 5 players from the 90 players’ draft. Only 2 territories, Guyana and Trinidad, selected players from outside of their territories in 2014. It is expected that this draft format may be changed in 2015 as we await further advices from the WICB. This draft system is intended to strengthen the weaker teams across the region and ensure that talented players are not left on the sidelines and the level of competition would be greatly enhanced with more evenly matched teams. The strength of each territory would then be measured by the number of players that they each produce to, firstly, represent the Regional teams; to supply to the other Franchises and eventually to elevate the standard of cricket within the Caribbean.

myer was a member of the home team and even executed the duties of wicketkeeper at times, impressing the then coach, Roderick Estwick, with his all-round ability and glove work. He made his first class debut, for Guyana, against Trinidad and Tobago in last year’s WICB Regional four day tournament and even though his returns with the bat were minimal, his close to the wicket fielding left tongues wagging, while he made Keemo Paul an impressive 41 against Barbados Pride in the Guyana Jaguars’ first handed the reins of captaincy for innings. the National Under-15 side in 2012,
where his best performance was 76 and 3 for 15 against the Windward Islands. That year, he had many reasons to smile after he led Essequibo to the Guyana Cricket Board Under-17 title, he then represented Guyana in that age group for 3 straight years from 2012 to 2014. In the 2013 Regional Under-17 tournament in Trinidad and Tobago, he scored 54 against the Leewards and took 3 for 29 against Jamaica and returned to score a half century, 51 to be exact, against Demerara in the Senior Inter-county One-day tournament.
Keemo Paul
At 16 years old, Keemo Paul has attempted everything on a cricket field for Guyana; from executing the duties of wicketkeeper, to scoring runs with the bat, especially at crucial times, and even bowled, both spin and pace, taking wickets with both varieties. Born on the 21st February 1998, Paul, whose hobbies include sports, watching movies, reading and listening to music, was invited to the Essequibo Under-15 trials as an 11 year old wicketkeeper, and even though he failed to make the team, he never gave up as many young individuals would have probably done and switched their attention to another sport. He did some self-examination; went back to the drawing board, scored back-to-back tons for his school against the New Opportunity Corps Under-15 and U-17 teams in two T20 matches, thus gaining selection to play for Guyana’s Under-15 teams in 2011 and 2012 as a batsman, after scoring 51 for Essequibo on his Intercounty debut against Berbice. Displaying leadership qualities from an early age, Paul was A Guyana Cricket Board Publication
25
In 2014, Paul scored a century vs the President XI and 76 vs Berbice and took 3/58 vs Demerara in the Inter-county Under-19 three day tournament. Keemo then made 2 half centuries, 62 vs Demerara & 53 vs Berbice before his departure for the Under-17 Regional tournament in T&T, following which he returned to spearhead Guyana’s attack in the WICB Regional Under-19 tournament, where they completed the historic double by winning the three and one day formats with the minimum of fuss, disposing of all their opponents. Significantly, Keemo Paul has represented Guyana at both the Under 17 and the Under 19 levels in the same year and has actually performed much more accomplished at the higher level, which is indeed quite special. He scored 4 half centuries, 85 vs Leewards, 51 vs ICC Americas, 74 vs Trinidad and 51 vs the Windwards in the 50 overs version of the Under 19 tournament. He narrowly missed a century, 90, when he played against the Leewards in the 3 day format. His performance at the Regional Under 17 level, in comparison, has not been as good with just a solitary 57 vs the Leewards then came back with the ball to take 2/42. He did enjoy a decent all round performance vs Jamaica where he took 4/28 and 25 runs with the bat. Against Trinidad, he took 3/45 and made 33 runs. Paul was also chosen along with the younger Chanderpaul, Hetmyer and three other players to be part of the Guyana Amazon Warriors preparatory camp for the 2014 edition of the Caribbean Premier League, while he also now trains with the Guyana Jaguars, where his overall work ethic has received

very high marks of commendation from the coaches.
Joshua Persaud
Joshua Persaud While Kumar and many others would be right in singling out the above mentioned trio, as part of Guyana’s cricketing future, there is also young Joshua Persaud, from the victorious 2014 National Under-15 squad, who is another one to look forward to in the future. Whenever one sees Joshua Persaud, the Georgetown Cricket Association/Brainstreet Under-15 Most Valuable Player (MVP), the first thing they would observe about this 15 year old wicketkeeper/batsman is his captivating smile. He always greets you with a smile, which could melt ice from the North Pole with the greatest of ease, but when he strides to the wicket, whether to bat or field, it is strictly business, with the smile disappearing sometimes whilst he marshals his forces in setting his field and issuing instructions accordingly. His level headed approach, when batting, helped steer Guyana National Industrial Corporation to the final of the Under-15 tournament and even though they lost to eventual winners, Transport Sports Club, Persaud still managed
to maintain a smile on his face. He had scored the most runs (414 inclusive of two tons) in the tournament, and had the highest individual score of 142 (14x4, 11x6) against Demerara Cricket Club’s ‘B’ team and later earned a place on the National Under-15 team, which won the 2014 Regional title. Joshua cracked a century, 105 against the President XI, and had some very useful contributions for the National team in the Regional Under 15 tournament; 58 vs Leewards, 28 vs Barbados, 42 vs Trinidad and 46 vs the Windwards. With the likes of Shemron Hetmyer, Keemo Paul and Joshua Persaud in the game of cricket, Guyana’s future is as bright as or even brighter than the star which guided the three wise men to Bethlehem on the night Jesus Christ was born.

However, Johnson, who played his only three ODIs for WI in 2008, had to wait another six years to earn his first Test match call-up for the West Indies in the second Test against New Zealand in Trinidad. The 27-yearold GCC player expressed that he was ‘very happy and elated’ to be have been selected in the squad, but Jermaine Blackwood was preferred to him in the starting XI. The talented Johnson, who hails from Kamuni Creek in the Demerara River, had to wait a little while longer to become the 48th Guyanese to play Test cricket and the first since Veerasammy Test Cricket.

onds, revealed that Johnson was not out. He followed that innings up with a cultured 41 in his second batting turn in Test cricket. From four Tests, Johnson has so far scored 275 runs with two fifties at an average of 39.28. “I just want to continue scoring runs as I have been doing and make meaningful contributions in whatever way I can for the team” said Johnson, who is the only Guyanese with a double century at the Regional under-19 level. Leon, who is a very talented player, also bowls useful spin, made his First-Class debut for Guyana against the Leewards at Enmore in 2004 when he was just 16. He only played a couple of matches that season and had to wait another four years for his third First Class game. But when he returned to the Guyana lineup, Johnson enjoyed a very productive season; scoring 427 runs at an average of 42.70 with his only flaw being that he failed to get a three-figure score.

runs short of his maiden first-class century on March 7, 2008 when he edged a wide delivery from off-spinner Shirley Clarke against Combined Campuses and Colleges. Johnson now has two hundreds and 21 fifties from 56 First-Class matches and has been most consistent in the 2013 and 2014 season playing for the West Indies ‘A’ team and Guyana. He registered his maiden first Class ton for the South Americans in Antigua against the Leeward Islands last April. Leon performed creditably enough to be awarded the ‘ Male Cricketer of the Year 2013’ by the Guyana Cricket Board. “I think the main reason for my recent success is due to me maturing not only as a player but as a person as well, so that has enabled me to understand the game and my own game better,” explained Johnson. One of hardest working and most complete batsmen in Guyana, Johnson attended the Starters Nursery and the St Margaret’s Primary before going to St Roses High, a school which has never produced a Test player before Johnson. Speaking from her adopted Island of St. Maarten, Johnson’s mother, Inez Fernandes, was very emotional and brimming with joy. “It was a really great feeling, Sean, I am very, very proud of him. I shed tears of joy because I know how much he wanted this and how much he worked for it,” she disclosed. Johnson, who is married to Carolyn Johnson and has a son, Joshua, thanked his club Coach, former England International Guyanese, Monty Lynch, for helping

Johnson had some good starts on the bouncy tracks in South Africa and finished off the series with scores of 54 & 44 in the third and final Test after getting starts of 31 & 39 in the opening Test of the three Test series, which the West Indies lost 2-nil. Johnson was also recalled to West Indies 50-over squad for the South Africa series. Johnson is living his dream of playing Test cricket and while his professional attitude to his game and his general outlook to life suggests that he will remain wellgrounded despite his elevation to Test status, the talented left-hander

An Analytical View of the Impact of T20 Cricket on Test Cricket By Colin Stuart
T
he advent of T20 cricket at Territorial, Regional and International levels has created an emergence of varying thoughts and ideas on its impact on the traditional test cricket format of the game. Such conceptualizations project T20 cricket as youth player destructive, yet player maturity beneficial, audience oriented, yet an apparent obstacle to test cricket viewership. Such conceptualizations obviously view T20 cricket as easier to market rather than test cricket, the latter possessing a heavy reliance on initiative, creativity, the utilization of a variety of marketing tools and effective implementation throughout the structured marketing process. The conceptualizations also gives credence to the differential financial gap between T20 cricket and test cricket, with the former demonstrating a greater level of scope at realizing financial stability for individual players, match officials, other key personnel and cricketing bodies at varying levels. There exists an unremitting argument surrounding the impact of T20 cricket on the youth player as it relates to the development of
30
The Guyana Cricketer - Issue 2 / 2014 Edition
their basic cricketing skills. Using the batters as a measuring tool to support such a contention, it is postulated that the exposure of youth players to the T20 format of the game is likely to hamper their technical prowess, thereby affecting their abilities to assume technical applications that would enhance the effective execution of their batting skill and the consistent execution of such skill. This point must not and cannot be taken lightly as the natural tendency of an inexperienced player, whether youth or senior, is first to hit the ball hard (probably out of the park/ ground) without much consideration for science – the researched, proven and recommended way of hitting the ball. To this end, it must be recognized and acknowledged that indeed the exposure of inexperienced players (junior or senior) to T20 cricket too early could easily affect a player’s development, especially, where he or she is not appropriately, meaningfully and effectively coached and/or guided. On the contrary, the exposure of youth players to the necessary T20 skills, where they are “effectively coached and managed” could provide our youth players with cricketing applications comparable and
parallel to senior professional players. To comprehend this statement, one must first start their basis of analysis from the acknowledgement that within aged group related activities, some individuals may progress at a higher and quicker rate than others, owing mainly to their natural abilities, their reasoning skills and their involvement in and comprehension of scientifically structured, research based, recommended activities. Here, it must be noted that youth involvement in appropriate structured coaching activities should help to provide youths with the cricketing maturity needed in T20 matches. Where youths are able to achieve such a goal, then they are set to join their senior counterparts who benefit from T20 cricket applications. Such acquired T20 cricketing skills can be effectively transferred to test cricket, where batters are more apt to score quicker than they would have, had they been only exposed to the longer version of the game. Having developed the ability to score quickly, while preserving one’s wicket, allow batters to compile runs for their team at a significantly quicker run rate, thereby providing the very team’s bowlers with more time and overs
in which to gain the 20 wickets needed to win a test match. Similarly, T20 cricket may help to teach and demand bowlers to be more accurate and economical-bowling attributes which when transferred to test cricket become an invaluable asset to the team in question. The quick paced, short duration, generally exciting, multi-colored and, often times, floodlit T20 game creates magnetic facets for audience, attracting and stimulating a wide array of interested viewers - ranging from long entrenched cricket enthusiasts, to youthful followers, to curious onlookers, to those that have available time and interests permit the undertaking of only T20 entertainment. Conversely, Test cricket, at this juncture in the history of cricket, is not so naturally pulsating and adhesive; as such, currently requires and demands different methods to be employed for marketable profitability for that format of the game. Such marketing initiatives require much more than the timely notification of general forms of advertisement. Undoubtedly, these test cricket marketing methods require and demand “a reach out and hands on collaborative approach” with corporate bodies to promote
the players and the game by ensuring the stands in the grounds are full to seating capacity. It is imperative that the efforts to promote test cricket begin at the domestic level as a means of stimulating a growing interest in regional and international stages. This marketing methodology, require the collaborative efforts of cricketing and corporate bodies to earmark players for image contracts, that highlight the cricketing character of the individual players, through the advertisement and promotion of a good and/or service. Exemplary illustrations of such character references, in the promotion of goods and/or services, include “Ronsford Beaton promoting the use of a revitalizing fluid with the suggestion that such fluid intake aids in athleticism and rhythm;” Devendra Bishoo promoting an electronic chess device that mesmerizes and baffles the mind to the extent that the user has to use his or her intellectual abilities, wit and skills to comprehend and overcome the presented challenges, the use of Christopher Barnwell for a video game may suggest a transformational approach due to a variety of expertise at one’s disposal, enabling them to overcome
and conquer an otherwise defeating situation, and yet the use of another player, for instance, Vishal Singh promoting computer software in an effort to emphasize the importance and need for the effective application of intelligence and skill, and to demonstrate the value of grit and determination in an effort to achieve a set goal. As a consequence, such player contractual packages should possess a rationale which insinuates a three - dimensional marketing approach, where the players, the corporate sponsors and the cricketing entities involved, share in the range of possible benefits. Here, it must be recognized that the cricketing body will benefit from the players’ character image contracts in that such promotion is apt to serve to familiarize the cricketing public on the array of player characters that exists in current day cricket thereby giving the cricketing public an insight into the varied competitive character challenges that may exist in test match cricket. As a means to an end, it is critical that through early insight, the cricketing public will be given the opportunity to identify with the players’ character traits that may compete with and against each other in a
A Guyana Cricket Board Publication
31
given test match. The absence of the provision of such an opportunity which allows the cricketing public to identify with the players’ character traits has the potential to negate the very stimulus that administrators hope to initiate with the use of public banners, together with the radio and television advertisements just prior to a pending test match and/or series. Further, corporate funding of a specified amount of test match tickets to facilitate the exposure of targeted groups of individuals in society can be extremely valuable to the future of test cricket and the growth of individual professionalism. This gesture was clearly demonstrated in Guyana, during 2007, where corporate bodies, such as Scotiabank, expended enormous sums of monies to purchase tickets for school groups and cricket community development groups, so as to enable such targeted individuals to attend World Cup matches. This gesture was immensely appreciated to the extent that those groups, which benefitted from such a sponsored activity, looked forward to such a gesture whenever international cricket is set to play in this country. Therefore, to a high degree and extent, cricket bodies and corporate entities are hereby encouraged to examine a marketable methodology to benefit both entities by facilitating the purchase of tickets for a specified group of cricket enthusiasts of both sexes – male and females. It is expected that such an investment, shall escalate into a wide spectrum of benefits, where the exposure of such targeted groups stimulate interest, motivate and direct individuals towards careers in different aspects of the cricketing fields.
32
The Guyana Cricketer - Issue 2 / 2014 Edition
The resultant benefits being future players, scorers, umpires, match referees, commentators, public announcers, communication specialists, information technology (IT) specialists, caterers, curators, sports psychologists, sports tourism experts, sales and entertainment personnel – paybacks that shall be the product of corporate investment in the youths of tomorrow. Surely, such an investment in test cricket spectatorship, is a comparative and parallel investment in our nation’s cricketing future, and must not be underestimated. The corporate bodies which join such a progressive movement of test cricket resuscitation and nation building must be commended for their unwavering commitment to the enduring history of test cricket and to our nation’s growth attainment, achieved largely through the invaluable investment of these bodies in our nation’s children, minority groups and deprived or relatively deprived groups. In addition, acknowledgement must be given to the differential financial gap that exists between T20 cricket and test match cricket. In more ways than one, T20 cricket is “cricket’s Hero,” fulfilling the ambitious and over ambitious financial dreams of many players, to other cricketing staff enjoying more financially satisfied careers, to the creation of a resurgence of spectators’ interest, to assisting cricketing bodies to stay clear of the red line – indebtedness or at least having hope that they will do so, together with ensuring the financial provision of a more realistic planning avenue or pathway for the cricket development of a territory. Clearly, without T20 – that is, without, the short phased; color-
ful; often times floodlit; generally competitive; exhilarating; entertainment rich environment and lucrative nature of the T20 format of the game, the continued growth of the professional cricketer through test matches would present a dire challenge. It must be recognized that there still exists a corridor or avenue for the continuity and growth of test cricket as a ravishing spectator sport, financially viable occupation pathway and an instrument for providing future administrative financial support for the promotion and development of the game of cricket. However, undoubtedly, the presence and conduct of T20 cricket greatly supplements and complements test cricket. In the absence of T20 cricket, test cricket may have realized a hilly terrain almost impossible to climb. On this notion, it is perceived that T20 cricket is here to stay and so too, the test match with the conquering of challenging situations through thoughtful, creative and networking relationships developed by cricketing bodies and interested corporate entities.

Editor’s Exclusive Interview with
Alvin Kallicharran
Legendary Windies Cricketer Alvin Kallicharran - world’s best batsman of the 1970s RS: Welcome to Guyana on behalf of the entire cricketing fraternity in Guyana and your huge fan base here. Would you care to comment upon what it was like growing up in Port Mourant having to follow in the footsteps of the greats like Rohan Kanhai, Basil Butcher, John Trim, Joe Solomon. What were your ambitions like to become a professional cricketer? AK: Growing up in the village when life wasn’t the best (affordability, hardship) all we had was playing cricket on the road, community centre, and school. Didn’t know what destiny was going to be but without role models there is no vision, no one to look up to. With role models such as Kanhai, Butcher, Trim and Solomon, they set a platform and a standard for us to emulate. Set a wonderful platform. Just want us all to emulate them. RS: Did you ever benefit from any of Clyde Walcott coaching stints? AK: No, Clyde Walcott was
working as head of sports but he never came into the village estates. Regarding coaching, Joe Solomon used to come once a year for a couple of days. Apart from that, everything was self taught. Whenever you are self taught, you become dangerous, you don’t know how to give up, and you only know one thing- to win. Throughout the difficulties, you will always find a way.

You just have to blank that out of your mind, look at each ball and play it on its merit. People keep asking me which was my best innings and I say I haven’t played my best innings.

balls, find gaps and rotate the strike. Nothing is wrong with being a bit more aggressive but the principles of the game remain the same.
AK: Queens Park Oval in Trinidad was a good hunting ground for me. It was the toughest ground to bat on in the West Indies but I liked it. It’s strange that Rohan and I grew up playing on slow wickets in the village in Berbice but ended up being the very good players of fast bowling.
RS: Do you think the T20 Leagues across the world are affecting Test cricket?
RS: You played county cricket for Warwickshire and state cricket for Queensland. How did your experience in those conditions help you in your development as a cricketer? AK: Playing cricket in England at an early age teaches you a lot of discipline and gives you a great technical focus. I always believe technique is the key. When you have a good technique, you can fight anybody on any condition; you take the game to them. I knew once I fought until a certain point, I would be in control. If you don’t have a good technique, the opposition drains you mentally. You would not be able to be consistent. Also, every time I walked out to bat for Warwickshire, I told myself my bank balance is on the line and I have to score to keep my threeyear contract.

“The quality of players was so good that we could have picked two top teams. We had to earn our money, if you messed up, that was the end of you.�
AK: I have seen the Under-19 team in Trinidad and they have a lot of potential. But my concern is what happens to these youngsters after they finish with the age group level. They just fall away. Is it that enough is not done and the gap to reach senior, national and international level is too big? As I look back now, I realize that the height of success in Guyana was when sugar estates were pumping money into the grounds. There were nine sugar estates and each used to maintain their neighboring grounds. And a number of top players came out of the sugar estates. But when these estates collapsed, the government did not take up the challenge. This is a major setback and a root cause for the break down in cricket we are experiencing.

you feel about what is transpiring in cricket in Guyana now.
AK: I believe that cricket should not be divided. One body, the Cricket Board, is there to run cricket and they should be left to do their jobs. Most administrators have an idea about cricket so they know what they should be doing as opposed to politicians. Politicians should enjoy the game instead of interfering with it. RS: You were probably the most technically correct and complete batsman in your time, which other batsman in the West Indies would you rate highly? AK: I was privileged to play with four class players. Viv Richards was the most arrogant and positive batsman, Rohan Kanhai was technically great to all bowlers (fast and spin), Gary Sobers was a genius, and Brian Lara was tremendously great. For all of us to play together was a blessing.

HISTORICAL PERSPECTIVE OF GUYANESE BROTHERS IN REGIONAL UNDER 19 COMPETITIONS By Charwayne Walker This year will mark 49 years since Regional youth cricket began. Although the inaugural Regional Youth Championship was called under 21, the players that participated were all under the 19 years age limit. Alvin Kallicharran captained the very first Guyana School Boys team in 1966 and playing alongside the skipper was his brother Stanley, which marked the beginning of a remarkable Guyanese trend that is unmatched at the Regional under 19 level. After the Kallicharrans feat in 1966, the other set of Guyanese brothers that played together were: • The Aarons; Keith and Julian in 1969 in Trinidad • The Nagamootoos; Mahendra and Vishal ,who played together from 1993 to 1995 • The Chinsammys; Michael and Andy ,who played together in 1994 • The Charles; Garfield and Roger in 1981 The Chattergoons; even though they did not play together, they are the only four brothers to have ever played for Guyana at the Regional under 19 level. Hemnarine in 1996, Sewnarine in 1991, 1998 and 1999, Ramnarine in 2000 and Harrinarine in 2010. From 1966 to 2015 Guyana has produced an impressive set of brothers that played at the Regional under 19 level. Could any other territory match this?
