THE executives and players of the Cumberland, East Canje-based Young Warriors Cricket Club, have extended congratulations to their bright and upcoming cricketing star in Shimron Hetmyer.
In a release, the club congratulated the 18-year-old opening batsman on his selection in the Amazon Warriors playing squad for the upcoming Hero Caribbean Premier League.The club said that this recent selection is another step for Shimron as he marches on, soon to wear West Indies colours.
The club which was resuscitated just over 12 years ago has produced many junior and senior national players and even West Indies junior cricketers but never a West Indies senior player.
The release stated that they are confident that Shimron will be the first one to represent West Indies senior team.
Shimron’s talent was spotted by coach Hubern Evans, himself a former national cricketer, since he was just 7 years old and from then he was invited to join the club. Since then, he has never looked back and has made significant and rapid progress despite his age. He has always performed above his age group and impressed all who see him play cricket.
The club hopes that Shimron’s achievement will inspire others in the Canje area. The club invites cricketers of all ages to join, free of cost.
Contact can be made with coach Evans on 624-3275, coach Kwesi Maltay on 695-2007 and manager Sahadeo Singh on 617-1103.
