Prashad shines in first BCB U19 practice match

Marvan Prashad enjoyed his stay at the crease with 41 not out

Blairmont Community Centre Cricket Club’s Marvan Prashad stood out as the Berbice Cricket Board held its first 50-overs Under-19 trial match yesterday at the Albion Sports Complex ground.

Prashad showed he was a cut above the rest with his exemplification of patience and elegant cover shots. The right-hander struck three boundaries and ran well between the wickets in making 41 not out before rain ended his innings.

The 17-year-old rotated the strike well and shared in a half century partnership with Shamal Angel who made 25 before holing out to Aaron Beharry at long on off of Jeremy Sandhia.
