The Guyana Cricket Association has scheduled two four-day practice matches for the Guyana Harpy Eagles to prepare for the regional four-day season starting on February 1st.
According to the announcement issued by the ‘Guyana Cricket Board’, the two teams identified by their senior national selection panel chaired by Ravindranath Seeram were selected to participate in the first match.
GCB further emphasized that Leon Johnson, Clinton Pestano, Keon Joseph, Quentin Sampson, Steven Sankar Shimron Hetmyer, Keemo Paul, Sherfane Rutherford, and Romario Shepherd will not be available for the first game.
However, the two playing teams have been named as Weerasammy Parmul XI and Tagenarin Chandrapaul XI and Savory hit the headlines with a glorious 170 on the second day of this practice match for Harpy Eagles.
Kemol Savory has answered the call of the Guyana Harpy Eagles’ management of converting starts as he smashed an excellent 170 that should greatly enhance his chances of a maiden First-Class debut.
His stunning 192-ball knock, studded with 17 fours and 5 sixes, left Tagenarine’s Chanderpaul XI at a healthy 378-6 at the end of the second day of their four-day practice match at the National Stadium in Providence.
Essequibo’s stylish left-armer Anthony Bramble (28) put on a 100-run stand for the fourth wicket. He also had important stands of 72 with Chanderpaul and 52 with Mavindra Dindyal, who made 11.
