AFTER A FEW years of absence, live Regional four-day cricket will be back on National Communications Networks’ Voice of Guyana (VOG) from 10:00hrs tomorrow when the West Indies Cricket Board (WICB) Professional Cricket League four-day competition starts with Guyana Jaguars facing off with the Leeward Islands franchise at the Guyana National Stadium, Providence. 

An initiative of NCN’s Chief Executive Officer (CEO) Molly Rampersaud, Marketing Manager Raymond Azeez and NCN’s cricket producer John Ramsingh, the local station has committed to bringing live ball-by-ball commentary for all of the home games this year with support from the Guyana Cricket Board (GCB).
Some of Guyana’s most experienced radio cricket broadcasters have been assembled including Sean Devers, who has done commentary in the 2007 World Cup ODIs and at Test level and Inderjeet Persaud, who has done work in ODIs, while former cricket commentator Naim Chan has also been recalled.
Devers returns to the local airwaves after a successful surgery and treatment for brain cancer and, along with Matthew Kissoon and Berbician Anthony Khemraj, has been selected to call play in the opening game with the analysts being former Test player Travis Dowlin and former Guyana wicketkeeper Sydney Jackman.
Inderjeet, Chan and TVG Channel 28 News Anchor Avenash Ramzan will describe the action in the Jaguars’ second match against the Windwards Volcanoes from November 21 to 24 at Providence with the analysts being former national cricketers Neil Barry and Roderick Lovell.
The final game against Barbados, also at Providence from November 28 to December 1, will be broadcast by the International team of Barbadian Andrew Mason, Devers and Persaud with Jackman and Dowlin doing the analytical work.
The Voice of Guyana is heard throughout Guyana and companies interested in providing sponsorship for the cricket can call NCN’s Marketing Department on telephone numbers 226-1382 or 223-7549 for more information.
