Four-Day practice: Singh, Looknauth and Sinclair among standout performers

The Guyana Harpy Eagles’ Four-Day practice match wrapped up within three days at the National Stadium, Providence, on Saturday.

Among the players inking an impression on day three of the pink ball match were Sachin Singh and all-rounders Richie Looknauth and Junior Sinclair.

Hunting a maiden First-Class appearance, Singh bolstered his aspirations as he made an even 50 (6x4s) from 124 balls for Tagenarine Chanderpaul’s XI.

Youngsters Rampersaud Ramnauth (27), Afraz Budhoo (23*) and Ushardeva Balgobin (23) also managed to get starts.

On the opposing end, Looknauth and Sinclair, potentially battling to fill the spot of Kevin Sinclair for the first Regional Four-Day match, had impactful performances.

Kevin, Gudakesh Motie, and skipper Tevin Imlach will miss the first round due to West Indies duties, while injury could also see pacer Shamar Joseph miss out.

Looknauth was unbeaten on 44 (9x4s) from 46 balls, while Junior took 4-12 from 4.2 overs for Kemol Savory’s XI, who won the match by five wickets.

Savory, who got 89 in the first innings, followed up with a brisk 48 (8x4s) from 47 balls.

The second practice match, a red-ball match,  is from January 15 at the National Stadium.

Defending champions Guyana Harpy Eagles host Barbados Pride in their first match from January 29.
