GEORGETOWN, Guyana (CMC):

SHAMAR APPLE has been rewarded for his impressive performances at the Regional Under-19 and Under-17 level by being included in Guyana’s Harpy Eagles squad for the upcoming CG United Super50 Cup.

The 16-year-old Apple was named in a 14-member squad announced by the Guyana Cricket Board (GCB) on Monday.

Matthew Nandu will captain a Harpy Eagles side that will be without several experienced players, who are unavailable for differing reasons.

Niall Smith has been ruled out due to injury, while Ashmead Nedd, Romario Shepherd, Sherfane Rutherford, Shimron Hetmyer, and Quentin Sampson are all unavailable for selection as they are set to participate in the Abu Dhabi T10 League.

Wicketkeeper-batsman Tevin Imlach was not considered as he is expected to represent the West Indies, while Jonathan Van Lange will also be on West Indies Under-19 duties.

Meanwhile, Kevin Sinclair, Antony Adams, Isai Thorne, Kevon Boodie, Tomanni Caesar, Romeo Deonarain, and Joshua Jones have been named as reserves.
