Batsman Kevlon Anderson will captain the Guyana Harpy Eagles at the upcoming West Indies Championship.
The 23-year-old has scored 529 runs in seven First Class games at an average of 44.08.
On Saturday, the Guyana Cricket Board (GCB) named a strong unit led by the former West Indies Under-19 batsman, consisting of a few familiar faces and a new crop of players.
Leg-pinner Steven Sankar is among the new faces in the squad, following a breakthrough year with the ball at the domestic level.
Opener Raymond Perez, following his immaculate batting form, which rolled over from 2023, will get his chance to play at the senior level.
All-rounder Ronaldo Alimohamed, returns to the squad after being an injury replacement in 2020 and having played 50-over cricket for Guyana at the senior level.
According to a release from the Guyana Cricket Board, Alimohamed, Perez and Sankar will likely make their debut.
Additionally, middle-order batsman Akshaya Persaud makes a return to the Harpy Eagles unit.
Matthew Nandu will be Anderson’s deputy as “they lead a well-balanced side featuring a few veterans among the new faces.”
Lead spinner Veerasammy Permaul, Anthony Adams, and West Indies’ latest Test player, Kevin Sinclair, will form a quality spin department.
