…recalls for Anthony Adams, Keemo Paul

UNCAPPED batsman Kevlon Anderson is the lone newcomer in the Guyana Harpy Eagles squad for the third round of the West Indies four-day Championship.

Speaking at a press conference on Saturday, Chairman of the senior selection panel, Ramanresh Sarwan, commented that Anderson is a player for the future who they want to make an investment in.

Head Coach Ryan Hercules, Captain Leon Johnson, and Territorial Development Officer, Colin Stuart, were also present at the National Stadium, Providence, where they announced that Keemo Paul and Antony Adams were recalled.

They replace Chandrapaul Hemraj, Akshaya Persaud, and Ashmead Nedd for the trip to the Twin island Republic where they play Trinidad and Tobago Red Force from March 15.

Hemraj is an enforced change as he has not recovered from his concussion in the second round and could be out for the rest of this championship for medical reasons.

Furthermore, Johnson announced that at the end of this four-day season, he will retire from national duties.

Harpy Eagles (28.6 points) lead the standings ahead of defending champions, Barbados Pride (23 points), Trinidad and Tobago Red Force (20.6 points), Windward Volcanoes (19.4 points), Leeward Hurricanes (17.4 points) and Jamaica Scorpions (10 points).
