DCC congratulates Griffith on West Indies U-19 selection

The President and executives of the Demerara Cricket Club (DCC)  yesterday extended congratulations to Trevon Griffith on his selection to the 20-man West Indies Under-19 squad to prepare for the Under-19 World Cup in New Zealand next year.

Griffith was one of the top scorers in the TCL Under-19 tournament played in Jamaica, by scoring over 400 runs.

According to a release from the club, Griffith, 18, is following in the footsteps of Roger Harper, Mark Harper, Keith Semple, Garvin Nedd, Rayon Thomas and Vishal Arjune who were themselves West Indies Under-19 players and selectees and he is poised to become a household name in Guyana and West Indies cricket.

The release said, “Trevon is known for his counter-attacking, attractive and flamboyant style batting, which would stand him in good stead in his future cricketing endeavours. We wish him every success.”

DCC under the presidency of Alfred Mentore improved its profile on the cricket field, winning the  most local tournaments and dominating selections nationally and regionally.

“It is in this vein, we take this opportunity to congratulate Travis Dowlin on his recent exploits on the West Indies senior team in all forms of the game. Special congratulations on his century in only his second one-day international (ODI).

“We at DCC and all of Guyana look forward to his continuous selection at this highest level and wish him well in his journey to be the best that he can be,” the release stated.

“Lastly, we hope to see much more of the emerging Christopher Barnwell whom was short-listed by the WICB for the champion’s trophy in South Africa. We are happy as a club to serve Guyana and West Indies cricket and urge these young ambassadors to aspire in the footsteps of our previous club greats and legends in Clive Lloyd, Lance Gibbs, Roy Fredericks and Roger Harper,” the DCC  added.
