SUPER50: Nial Smith replaces Ronsford Beaton in Harpy Eagles squad

SEE STATEMENT FROM THE GUYANA CRICKET BOARD: 

“Fast-bowler Nial Smith is set to replace fellow speedster Ronsford Beaton ahead of the upcoming CWI Regional Super50 Men’s Championships, which bowls off on October 28.

Smith, who recently returned from injury, will replace Beaton, who will miss the tour after failing to turn up to 2 scheduled fitness tests recently organised for the Guyana Harpy Eagles team and other contracted players.

The former West Indies pacer Beaton, who was recently cleared to bowl, added much-needed firepower to the Eagles unit given his experience and success during his brief run on the international stage.

However, Smith’s inclusion is a clean swap as the Berbice quickman has established himself as one of the key bowlers in Guyana’s setup across all formats and will further boost the Eagles’ chances at bringing home the title.”

Guyana Harpy Eagles Squad: Tagenarine Chanderpaul, Matthew Nandu, Tevin Imlach (captain), Kevlon Anderson, Kemol Savory, Kevin Sinclair, Keemo Paul (vice-captain), Ronaldo Aimohamed, Veerasammy Permaul, Isai Thorne, Ashmead Nedd, Nial Smith, Sylus Tyndall, Rampertab Ramnauth.
