As a boy growing up in the Rose Hall area in the county of Berbice, the soft-spoken Guyanese said he “enjoyed playing some cricket†but his first love was track and field. He excelled in sprints and the jumps and had visions of representing his country on the world stage. He made the switch to cricket in his early teens and it is the gentleman’s game which has brought him international attention.
“Around age 13 I started to pay more attention to cricket and realised that I had the skills to play well at a competitive level,†Fudadin said. “Some people told me I had ‘it’ in me and could go places if I put in the work. I followed the good advice. Two years later, I was in the Guyana Under-15 team and that year I was in the West Indies team which played in the (Under-15) World Cup in England.â€
That team also included Ravi Rampaul and Denesh Ramdin and the West Indies won the tournament with a superb victory in the final at Lord’s.
