NATIONAL Under-17 captain Ronaldo Mohamed has urged his teammates to play as a unit during the fourth edition of the West Indies Cricket Board (WICB) regional tournament.
The six-team tournament will be played from July 7 to 14 in Trinidad and Tobago and will comprise five rounds and fifteen 50 over matches.
“We must play as unit that’s the only way the team can excel,” he said, prior to the team’s departure for the Twin Island Republic yesterday.
The talented all-rounder further pointed out that the team is a promising one and he is confident of doing well in the tournament.
Speaking about the players in the squad, Mohamed said: “We have a talented squad with capable batsmen and wicket-taking bowlers.”
The captain affirmed the team’s allround ability, stating “the batsmen have the ability to build an innings and occupy the crease.
He added, “The bowlers are good enough to restrict oppositions, we have a variety to choose from.”
Meanwhile, manager Nazeer Mohamed said the squad has had adequate preparation leading up to the regional championships and he is confident that Guyana would perform outstandingly in the tournament.
The participating teams are the traditional regional teams: Barbados, Guyana, Jamaica, Leeward Islands, Trinidad & Tobago and Windward Islands
