TEMPERAMENTAL Georgetown Cricket Club (GCC) opener Robin Bacchus is the lone new face selected in this year’s Guyana Cricket Board (GCB) 14-man squad to contest the West Indies Cricket Board’s NAGICO Super50 tournament in Trinidad and Tobago.
West Indies T20 all-rounder Christopher Barnwell has been appointed skipper of the Guyana team for the tournament which bowls off this month-end, with dependable middle-order batsman Shivnarine Chanderpaul as his deputy.
The 27-year-old Barnwell, who has appeared in 17 List A matches for Guyana, leads a squad that also includes former Guyana and West Indies skipper Ramnaresh Sarwan and Narsingh Deonarine, along with Royston Crandon, Assad Fudadin and Leon Johnson.
Bacchus is expected to start the team’s batting with the pugnacious Trevon Griffith and should either one of the two openers fail to get going, then Fudadin, who has opened the batting for Guyana on several occasions, would be thrust into that position.
