Four female cricketers have been named in Guyana’s mixed-gender squad as they begin their campaign today at the 11th Regional Blind Cricket Tournament in Barbados, the Blind Cricket Association (GuyBCA) has confirmed.
Rosemarie Ramitt, Robecka Edinboro, Ackila Smith and Crystal Aulder are the four women selected, in a move that reflects the growing inclusivity of blind cricket across the Caribbean.
The 17-member squad is captained by West Indies visually impaired batsman Kevin Douglas and will compete in both a 40-over round-robin format and a T20 championship, with the tournament concluding on May 28.
Guyana will face regional opposition in a competition featuring some of the top blind cricketers in the Caribbean. Douglas is joined by experienced West Indies teammates Ganesh Singh and Leroy Phillips.
Travis Mohamed has been named head coach, with Mahendra Algu serving as team manager and Shaniyah English as physiotherapist.
Guyana squad: Kevin Douglas (capt), Ganesh Singh, Leroy Phillips, Anthony Robinson, Roell Sumner, Musa Haynes, Robecka Edinboro, Rosemarie Ramitt, Crystal Aulder, Ackila Smith, Robindra Ramnauth, Patrick Howard, Seon Mitchell, Teshawn Rodney, Asif Khan, Dimitry Waldron, Joshua Augustin.
