THE PRESIDENT, Executive and Members of the Demerara Cricket Club (DCC) extend congratulations to Christopher Barnwell on his appointment as captain of the Guyana Jaguars team to compete in the West Indies Cricket Board/NAGICO Super50 Tournament. 

This is the second consecutive year that Barnwell has been entrusted with the captaincy, having led the team to the semi-finals at last year’s competition.
The Club also wishes to congratulate opening batsman Trevon Griffith, who is expected to create the platform for the Jaguars posting big totals and pacer Paul Wintz for getting early wickets and putting pressure on the opposition team, also on their selection to the Guyana Jaguars team.
Coming at a time when no Guyanese was selected to represent the West Indies in the 2015 World Cup, we hope that Barnwell and his team can emerge victorious and some of the players subsequently go on to represent the West Indies.
The President, Executive and Members of the Demerara Cricket Club (DCC) also wish to congratulate young Kemo Paul on his selection to represent West Indies Under-19 squad who are competing in the said West Indies Cricket Board/NAGICO Super50 Tournament.
This talented all-rounder also represented Guyana at the Under-17 level and was recently rewarded by the Guyana Cricket Board (GCB) for bagging the most wickets in the regional tournament.
Barnwell, Griffith, Wintz and Paul join a long list of players from DCC who represented Guyana and the West Indies, including the legends Clive Lloyd, Lance Gibbs, Roy Fredericks, Roger Harper and Travis Dowlin et al, doing so with pride.
The president of DCC, Alfred Mentore, believes that Barnwell, as captain and leader of the Guyanese squad, has certainly come of age where he should strive to record his first list ‘A’ century together with other useful scores. Coupled with his current improved first class performances, he could surely position himself for selection to the West Indies teams.
It is interesting to note that in a few of the shorter formats currently being played no Guyanese has featured so the time is opportune for Guyanese batsmen and/or bowlers to showcase their talents and thereby receive due recognition from the selectors of the West Indies Cricket Board.
