Clairmonte Christopher Lewis, who was born in Guyana but played for England between 1990 and 1998, will turn for Team Kanuku at the Kares One Guyana T10 Tapeball Blast 2024 Cricket For Charity Match set for National Stadium, Providence, Saturday, August 24.

Lewis, a lanky bowling all-rounder, will be captained by Lennox Cush in the match.

Their side will face President Dr. Irfaan Ali’s Team Roraima.
