THE BERBICE Cricket Board in its usual pro-active way has started early preparation for the 2013 Under-15 Inter-county tournament. The Junior Selection Committee under the chairmanship of Leslie Solomon over the few weeks have been conducting talent-spotting sessions across the Ancient County and has selected a 24-man elite squad along with four developmental players to commence special training under the guidance of coaches Michael Hyles-Franco and Floyd Benjamin.
Chairman of the Special Events Committee and BCB Public Relations Officer, Hilbert Foster, stated that the Board was determined to have all Berbice teams fully prepared for this year’s Inter-county championships and members of the Elite squad would be expected to be not only disciplined and committed but also hardworking.
Solomon explained that more players would be added to the Elite squad based on performances in the Tenelec Under-15 Inter-club and NCN Inter-zone tournaments which will be played shortly.

The Elite squad members are: Matthew Hardial, Adrian Sukwah, Joshua Harrichand, Asif Ally, Vevakanana Jagit, Deon Sinclair, Harikumar Singh, Joel Seetaram, Joseph Nicholson, Titus Webster, Rameshwar Samwaru, Imraz Khan, Daniel Samaroo, Kris Ramnarine, Bramdat Singh, Joshua Gobin, Sylus Tyndall, Satesh Sugrim, Ravindra Beharry, Zameel Ishan, Jeron Smith, Davavavd Chatterpaul, Abdur Ajib, Seon Glasgow, Junior Sinclair, Kevon Anderson and Emanuel Seecharran.
