GUYANESE off-spinning all-rounder Jayden Dowlin captured 17 wickets from seven games to end as the leading wicket-taker in the recently concluded Sir Garfield Sobers International School tournament in Barbados.
The 18-year-old Dowlin, who plays at the First Division level for the Demerara Cricket Club (DCC), copped the Man-of-the-Match Award for his performance of 3-18 from eight frugal overs against Top Level Academy of Guyana.
Dowlin’s consistent performance helped the New York Tri-State to capture the coveted title.
Dowlin took 3-27 from 5.3 overs in the final against last year’s champions, Hills Academy from Australia.
Dowlin is the son of West Indies Test player Travis Dowlin and the brother of Guyana U-13 player Malakai Dowlin.
Jayden Dowlin has already scored a first division century for DCC.
A club which produced former Test players like Maurius Fernandes (Windies 1st winning Test Captain), Berkley Gaskin, Glendon Gibbs, Lance Gibbs, Clive Lloyd, Roy Fredericks, Roger Harper and Travis Dowlin.
