`The work has just begun’ says Cricketer-of-the-Year Shepherd

Romario Shepherd’s blowout season earned him the GCB Male Cricketer of the Year award.

On Wednesday evening the Guyana Cricket Board (GCB) held its awards ceremony where Romario Shepherd was named the male Cricketer-of-the-Year as well as the Most Improved Player.

While the 25-year-old could not receive his award due to international commitments, upon hearing the news he was ecstatic.

Stabroek Sport engaged the young all-rounder on his success and he responded, “Winning this award was a great feeling for me. You know, throughout the season my mind was never on the award. I was more focused on going out each and every game and doing my best for the team and leaving it all on the field.”
