Richard Ramdeholl will lead the Guyana Under-15 team in the Cricket West Indies Rising Stars U-15 Championship from April 13-24. The 14-member squad features 10 newcomers and is bolstered by seasoned players returning from last year. The team aims to reclaim the regional title last won in 2015.

Richard Ramdeholl has been appointed as the captain of the Guyana Under-15 cricket team for the upcoming Cricket West Indies Rising Stars Under-15, 50-over Championship, scheduled from April 13-24 in Antigua. The Guyana Cricket Board has named a strong 14-member squad, with Brandon Henry serving as vice-captain.

Ramdeholl previously led Berbice to an impressive unbeaten streak in the Guyana Cricket Board Inter-County competition in February, while Henry guided Demerara to a third-place finish behind Essequibo. Among the players returning from last year’s team are Ramdeholl, Henry, wicketkeeper/batsman Justin Dowlin, and all-rounder Jathneil Nurse.

The full squad includes Justin Dowlin, Lomar Seecharran, Luke Amsterdam, Shahid Ramzan, Arif Bacchus, Richard Ramdeholl, Nathaniel Ramsammy, Jathniel Nurse, Usain Fredericks, Brandon Henry, Reyaz Latif, Patrice Fraser, Rafael McKenzie, and Prosper Jacobus. The reserve players consist of Khush Seegobin, Joshua Thomas, Bomesh Lall, Nathan Bishop, Tameshwar Deonandan, and Tyrese McPherson. The coaching staff includes Coach Yeuraj Khemraj and Manager Yogeshwar Lall.

During the Inter-County Championship, Henry was the leading run-scorer with 92 runs, while team-mate Shahid Ramzan closely followed with 91 runs, including a highest score of 51 against Essequibo. Dowlin, Ramzan, and Jacobus were among the few players to achieve half-centuries in the tournament, demonstrating their batting prowess.

Bowling performance was equally remarkable, with Demerara leg-spinner Reyaz Latif emerging as the joint-leading wicket-taker, claiming nine wickets. His best performance was a notable 7-20 against the Select XI, marking the only five-wicket haul of the competition. Ramdeholl was a close second with eight wickets, demonstrating his all-round capabilities.

Nurse’s inclusion was justified by his impactful performance in delivering wickets and scoring runs for Essequibo. To enhance their bowling options, the squad features a balanced four-prong pace attack comprising Fraser, McKenzie, Jacobus, and Fredericks. Guyana last achieved victory at the regional Under-15 championship in 2015 under the leadership of Ashmead Nedd.

In conclusion, the appointment of Richard Ramdeholl as captain of the Guyana Under-15 team reflects the strong leadership capabilities he has demonstrated in previous competitions. The squad, which includes several talented newcomers and returning players, aims to reclaim success in the upcoming regional championship, having last won the title in 2015. Under the guidance of a capable coaching team, Guyana is poised to make a promising impact in this tournament.
