Minister of Sports on Nevis, Hon. Eric Evelyn has offered congratulations to the five young cricketers who have been selected to the West Indies Cricket Boards under 19 trial squad.
The trial matches are currently taking place in Antigua.
He noted that the achievement is even more remarkable when it is realized that Nevis has five selectees and Guyana has only four.
He indicated that he has seen the young cricketers in action and noted that they have the talent and the self-belief to excel and not only make it to the West Indies under 19 team but also eventually, to the Windies senior team as well.
He admonished them to stay focused; ‘keep your heads on and stay away from drugs and other vices and the sky is the limit.’
He also saluted their parents and coaches who have been a tower of support for the young cricketers.
