THE PRESIDENT and Executive members of the Demerara Cricket Club (DCC) would like to congratulate our former president Roger Andrew Harper on his appointment as Head Coach of the Guyana franchise team –Amazon Warriors) – for the inaugural Caribbean Premier League (CPL) T20 tournament.
Roger is an honourable member of the DCC and a former Guyana and West Indies cricketer-turned-coach, who played both Test and ODI cricket for the West Indies, during his international career, which spanned 13 years.
We, at the DCC strongly believe and respect your vast experience at this helm along with your assistant coach the great Curtly Ambrose and youthful talented players like Christopher Barnwell and Trevon Griffith, both of whom hail from the DCC.
In this regard, we feel that the Guyana franchise team is fully equipped to bring home the inaugural title.
Your appointment and the selection of two of DCC’s young ambassadors in this 2013 inaugural Caribbean Premier League T20 tournament do serve as an inspiration to our younger players who have enormous talent and dreams.
It’s no secret that the Demerara Cricket Club has produced some of the greatest players and administrators for this game we all love and continue to contribute selflessly to its long-term development.
Once again, Congratulations! The whole of DCC and Guyana will be rallying behind you and your team. There is no greater honour than to be recognised by others in your field.
All the best!
