Former Guyana youth wicketkeeper-batsman Adrian Sukwah is hungry for success at the senior level. During his days of playing youth cricket, he showed his dominance with the bat – whether he played for Albion, Berbice or any Guyana youth teams.

The 22-year-old lad from Albion Community Centre Cricket Club had the luxury of playing for Berbice at the junior levels and featured in Guyana youth teams from the Under-15 to the Under-19 levels.
Sukwah once scored the most runs for Guyana at the Regional Under-15 championship, which was held in Jamaica.

During his chat with this publication, Sukwah disclosed that he would be grateful for a Cricket Guyana Inc (CGI) Academy Contract. “Having an Academy Contract, I will be grateful and it will be a dream come true,” Sukwah posited.

The right-handed top-order batsman has also had the luxury of playing cricket in Canada; he rocked the outfits of Apollo Cricket Club and York Cricket Club. Sukwah, who represented the victorious Lower Corentyne team in the 2019 CGI 50-over Franchise League, made a polished 98 against Upper Corentyne at Young Warriors Cricket Club. In that innings, he stroked nine fours and five sixes.

Sukwah, who is often referred to as “Bitam” in the cricketing world , is pushing himself for a Guyana Jaguars call-up in the near future. “In the next two years, I see myself in the CGI Academy set-up and pushing for a spot in the Guyana senior team,” he revealed.

Sukwah played in the 2017 Regional U-19 tournament with the likes of Joshua Persaud, Ronaldo Ali-Mohamed, Ashmead Nedd, and Kevin Sinclair.
Sukwah has shown all his abilities at the junior level; he has also shown a glimpse of what he can do in senior cricket. For years, the opener has been regarded as one of the more attacking batsmen. When given his opportunity, he will certainly rock the Guyana colours well.
