Emrit to lead Warriors in Guptill’s absence 

Trinidad and Tobago all-rounder Rayad Emrit has been tasked with leading the Guyana Amazon Warriors (GAW) in the absence of regular skipper Martin Guptill who had to return to New Zealand because of his father’s illness.

Guptill has been replaced by fellow New Zealander wicketkeeper/batsman Luke Ronchi.

Emrit, while speaking to the media after the announcement of his appointment, indicated that he does intend to lead from the front with wickets and runs to see his side into the playoffs of the tournament.
