THE Harpy Eagles will begin preparation for their title defence of the Regional Four-Day Championship with two trial matches from Thursday.
According to a release from the Guyana Cricket Board (GCB), the two upcoming practice matches will aid in their preparation for the tournament.
These games are set to play a vital role in forming a robust squad to retain the Four-Day Championship title, and also provide a good platform for players to impress selectors, according to the GCB.
The two squads are:
SAVORY’S XI: Matthew Nandu, Raymond Perez, Zeynul Ramsammy, Kemol Savory (Captain & Wicketkeeper), Akshaya Persaud, Richie Looknauth, Junior Sinclair, Ashmead Nedd, Nityanand Mathura, Thaddeus Lovell, Isai Thorne, Chris Harry, Demeter Cameron, and Joshua Persaud.

TAGENARINE’S XI: Tagenarine Chanderpaul (Captain), Sachin Singh, Adrian Sukwah (Wicketkeeper), Kandhiya Ramkaran, Usherdeva Balgobin, Kevlon Anderson, Jonathan Van Lange, Veerasammy Permaul, Riyad Latiff, Joshua Jones, Nial Smith, Syrus Tyndall, Jonathan Rampersaud, and Rampersaud Ramnauth.
The GCB has also invited six promising players to participate in the series: Antony Adams, Ashraf Ali Budhoo, Yeudestir Persaud, Golcharran Chulai, Romeo Deonarine, and Bruce Vincent.
The first match begins at 14:00hrs on Thursday, with the second set for January 15 from 10:00hrs.
Games will be played at the National Stadium, at Providence.
Following the two games, the Guyana Harpy Eagles will begin their Regional Four-Day Championship campaign with the first match against Barbados Pride at the same location, starting Wednesday, January 29, 2025.
