Commissioner of Police, Nigel Hoppie, DSM at a simple ceremony recently, commended Rural Constable and national cricketer, Kemol Savory, on his selection to the Guyana Jaguars Super50 squad.
The 24-year-old wicketkeeper/batsman was called up as a replacement for Trevon Griffith ahead of the Regional Super50 tournament, scheduled to bowl off in Antigua on Sunday.
Commissioner Hoppie, himself a former player, and now head of the Police Force Cricket Club which Savory represents in the Georgetown Cricket Association tournaments, presented the talented Essequibian with a pair of batting gloves, pads and a helmet during the simple ceremony.
In brief remarks, the Top Cop urged Savory to remain disciplined and focused while wishing him a successful tournament.
Savory has been a core member of the GPF’s cricket team for the past five years and in a brief statement, expressed gratitude for the timely initiative. The wicketkeeper noted that he remains thankful for the tremendous support he has so far received from the Commissioner of Police and the Guyana Police Force.
The left-handed wicketkeeper/batsman made his debut in the 2019 season scoring 71 not out against the West Indies Emerging Players and went on to play four more matches that season.
