About Guyana

Guyana come to South Africa this September hoping to go one better than their Caribbean counterparts, Trinidad and Tobago, runners-up of the inaugural edition of CLT20 in India. Guyana, officially the Co-operative Republic of Guyana and previously known as British Guiana, is a state on the northern coast of South America that is culturally part of the Anglophone Caribbean. It has produced cricketing greats like Clive Lloyd, Basil Butcher, Colin Croft, Roy Fredericks, Lance Gibbs, Roger Harper, Carl Hooper and Alvin Kallicharran. Captain Ramnaresh Sarwan is the only big name in the current side but the presence of some talented youngsters like Devendra Bishoo and Jonathan Foo gives Guyana an opportunity to surprise their rivals with the unexpected. Guyana's passage to CLT20 wasn't the easiest of affairs. Playing in the semi-final of the Caribbean T20 2010, they beat Trinidad and Tobago, the defending champions, in a closely contested match and then snatched victory after very nearly courting defeat against Barbados in the final.
