THE Guyana Harpy Eagles will be under the stewardship of Kevlon Anderson for their 2024 regional four-day campaign.
Anderson was yesterday announced as captain of the side following the final trial game on Friday at the Meten- Meer – Zorg ground.

He will make his debut as captain along with several new players.
Spinner Steven Sankar will be among the new faces in the team, following a breakthrough year with the ball at the domestic level.
Opener Raymon Perez, following his immaculate batting form which rolled over from 2023, will also have his first shot at the senior level.

In-form fast-bowling all-rounder Ronaldo Alimohamed is the third fresh face in the Harpy Eagles side, having played 50-over cricket for Guyana at the senior level.
Alimohamed, Perez and Sankar will likely make their debut, while middle-order batsman Akshaya Persaud makes a return to the Harpy Eagles unit.

Young batting sensation Matthew Nandu will be Anderson’s deputy as they lead a well-balanced side featuring a few veterans among the new faces.
First-Class cricket’s leading spinner Veerasammy Permaul, Anthony Adams and West Indies latest Test player, Kevin Sinclair will run the spinner’s show for Eagles.

Fast-bowler Ronsford Beaton, Nial Smith and Alimohamed will make up the front-line seam unit, which adds to their star-studded batch of spin bowlers.
Test opener Tagenarine Chanderpaul, Nandu, Sinclair, Perez, Anderson and Persaud will look to carry the Eagles batting unit.

Kemol Savory will be the wicket-keeper for the first two rounds until Tevin Imlach returns from West Indies duties. Savory is also expected to play a key role in the batting department.
The Harpy Eagles Head coach is Ryan Hercules and the Assistant Coach is Garvin Nedd; with Ryerson Bhagoo as their Analyst and Albert Clements as Manager.

Meanwhile, this year’s four-day championship will have a significant increase in prize money as the winning team will pocket the US$250,000 first-place prize, while the runners up will receive US$100,000.
