FORMER Guyana and West Indies women’s player Indomatie Goordial, who is currently representing Canada in the ongoing T20 World Cup Americas Region Qualifiers, starred with a fine 42 versus Argentina in a recent match, played in Buenos Aires, Brazil.

Goordial, who hit a solitary boundary in her top score, before she went via the run out route, shared in a 62-run third wicket partnership with Amarpal Kaur who was left unbeaten on 33 as Canada reached 110 for three in their allotted 20 overs.

Goordial also returned to capture one for 10 in 2.2 overs as Argentina were restricted to 74 all out in 19.2 overs which saw Canada winning by 36 runs. Krima Kapada grabbed two for five in her two overs while Kaur retuned to claim two for 15 off four overs.

Goordial brings an extraordinary cricketing pedigree to the Canadian team, having represented the West Indies in Test and ODI cricket and achieving the rare feat of also playing for the USA. She also served as the head coach of the USA national team.

Apart from representing Guyana, Goordial appeared in one Test match and 10 One-day Internationals for the West Indies between 2003 and 2005. In 2010, she appeared in five T20 matches for the United States before migrating to Canada.

Meanwhile, the team is also managed by Guyana-born Praim Persaud who serves as President of the Cricket Ontario and executive of Cricket Canada.
