THE Demerara Cricket Club (DCC) in a recent statement offered congratulations to three of their own, Tevin Imlach, Sherfane Rutherford, and Ashmead Nedd for their efforts at this year’s Regional Super50 which took place in Trinidad & Tobago and Antigua & Barbuda.

Imlach and Rutherford played for their native Guyana Harpy Eagles, who managed to reach the semi-finals, while Nedd featured for the West Indies Academy, who finished bottom of Zone B.
Imlach, a wicketkeeper and top-order batter by trade, finished as the leading run-scorer for Harpy Eagles with 268 runs from seven innings at an average of 44.66. The 26-year-old had a best of 75, which was one of his two fifties in the tournament.

Rutherford’s all-round skills brought him 186 runs at a strike rate of 106.35 with a best of 56 along with four wickets and an economy rate of 5.41.
Nedd, who savoured success recently with the Jamaica Tallawahs at this year’s Hero Caribbean Premier League, was one of two Guyanese in the Academy squad. Kevlon Anderson was the other.

The left-arm spinner featured in five matches and was the team’s second-most economical bowler with a rate of 4.29, and took five wickets.

“We the Executives and Members of the Demerara of the Cricket Club, recognise the credible performances from three of our young stars and we look forward to seeing them do even better in the future and bringing success to the teams they represent,” the club expressed in a statement.

On a different note, the club is concerned over the non-selection of all-rounder Christopher Barnwell from the national setup, despite still being one of the leading all-rounders in the country.

Barnwell was axed from the recent squad despite being a standout performer over the past seasons in the format.

The Queenstown-based club, established in 1912, is known for producing some of the most prominent names in Guyana and West Indies cricket.
