The players are brothers Devin and Navin Nauth and Kevin Persaud who are members of Superstars Cricket Club.
In welcoming the touring party from the Dallas Cricket Academy, Cricket Ontario longstanding president, Guyanese Praim Persaud pointed out “this is an excellent initiative in the interest of initiating bilateral competitions and cricket development in both countries.”

Persaud disclosed that he “would like to thank the management of both Cricket Ontario and Dallas for taking the time and efforts to make this exchange a reality. Special thanks to Shah Safar and Jag Poosarla as well as our members who are hosting the academy.
“Good luck to all teams competing and I hope our visiting youths have a great tournament and enjoy their time and experience in Ontario.”
