ALVIN Mohabir has been appointed captain of the Guyana Under-17 squad ahead of the Cricket West Indies (CWI) regional U17 tournament.
Mohabir will have former West Indies Under-15 batter, Rampertap Ramnauth, as his deputy for the tournament in Trinidad and Tobago from July 17 to 28.

The squad also includes exiting young batter Mavindra Dindial, Jadon Campbell and Zachary Jodha who are all returning from the last Regional Under-17 tournament.
Jonathan Van Lang, who was the leading run-scorer in the just concluded GCB Under-17 Inter-county tournament has also been included in what should be considered a very strong batting line-up while newcomer and captain of the GCB Rising Star XI, Kevin Kisten, will be the wicketkeeper.

Promising young West Indies Under-19 fast bowler, Isai Thorne, has been left out due to a chronic knee injury.
Neil Rudder has been appointed manager while Garvin Nedd returns as the coach.

The squad is expected to commence training preparations for the Regional tournament today at the LBI facility.
The full squad reads: Alvin Mohabir (captain), Rampertab Ramnauth (vice-captain), Jadon Campbell, Romeo Deonarine, Anthony Khan, Marvindra Dindyal, Zachary Jodha, Jonathan Van Lang, Nityanand Mathura, Kevin Kisten (wicketkeeper/batter), Bruce Vincent, Goucharran Chuli, Dillon Ramsaroop, Sasenarine Harricharran
The standby players are: Thaddeus Lovell, Shiloh Adams (wicketkeeper), Sanjay Algoo, Jayden Dowlin, Krsna Singh, Shazzif Mohamed and Nyron Hick.
