At just fourteen years old, Shamar Apple is making waves as a wicket-keeper batter in the cricket scene.
Eager to secure a spot in the Guyana U15 team for the regional tournament, Apple is determined to catch the eyes of the selection panel and make his mark on the cricketing stage.
In a recent interview with NCN’s Tyriq Walters, Apple expressed the significance of being selected for the team, not only for himself but also for the people who support him, particularly his grandmother, whom he aims to make proud.
Having played in the inter-county tournament, Apple showcased his skills as a composed wicket-keeper batter, contributing crucial knocks for Demerara as they clinched the Inter-County championship.
Despite his individual contributions, Apple remains humble, emphasizing the importance of teamwork and expressing disappointment that his performances were not translated into bigger scores.
However, Apple remains focused on his ultimate goal of representing Guyana, acknowledging the competitive nature of the sport.
He understands the challenges ahead but remains optimistic about his prospects and hopes to be selected for the Guyana U15 team.
As the U15 Guyana team seeks improved performances this year, Apple’s dedication and talent offer promising prospects for the future of cricket in the region.
