Motie looking to transfer form to 50-over format

At the age of 20 years, 273 days, Gudakesh Motie has been rocking the headlines in regional cricket for the past two months.
Motie, who made his First-Class debut in the West Indies Cricket Board (WICB) Four-Day Professional Cricket League, was a standout and undoubtedly a major reason for Guyana sitting comfortably at the top of the points table after winning all their games to date.
When Guyana Times Sport spoke to the talented left-arm spinner after a day in the field of the ongoing NAGICO Super50 training at the Georgetown Cricket Club, Motie expressed his jubilance over the a superb season: “I’m very happy with my performance; it was a good experience for me playing with the senior guys like [Veerasammy] Permaul and [Leon] Johnson who shared a lot of experience with me on how the pitch is playing at varying times.”
Now with the change in format and new challenges to face, the young spinner is not daunted by the task ahead and is confident he can make the necessary adjustments to the shorter version of the game.
