Guyana’s Under-19 Captain Travis Persaud thanked his team for giving “100 percent” which he said was the main catalyst behind winning the West Indies Cricket Board (WICB) Regional U19 tile for a record third time.
The team returned home yesterday afternoon at the Eugene F. Correia International Airport and received a warm welcome from Guyana Cricket Board (GCB) President Drubahadur, along with executives Colin Europe, Raj Singh and Director of Sports Christopher Jones. Persaud told Stabroek Sport during his interview that he was overwhelmed by his team’s performance which allowed them to successfully defend their title. “We had a strong team who was capable of defending our title and I think we did a great job just pulling it off because I think we had a good camp leading up to the tournament too. “The pressure was hard because a lot of persons said things about us, so we just had to go out there and give 100 percent and we did that because no one expected us to win and we came from behind and did that so I’m very proud.”
