Bermuda’s four members of the Ontario Cricket Academy Under-19 tour of Sri Lanka had some strong performances with Chare Smith named the outstanding player of the tour, Cameron Jeffers the bowler of the tour and Sheldon Caesar voted the player with the best deportment.

Smith averaged 41 runs from five innings, scoring a total of 82 runs with three not outs. He also claimed five wickets for 68 runs from 18 overs on tour.

Cameron Jeffers took ten wickets for 115 runs off 23 overs while wicketkeeper Antoine Seaman had three catches, two stumpings and four run outs.

Russell Richardson, the team manager, said: “I’m pleased to say that our players did very well as a group with individual outstanding performances and our four young men were a shining example of the true spirit of cricket,” Russell said.

“Sheldon Caesar was a very good representative of Bermuda both on and off the field and an example for the whole touring party.

“The training that they have been undergoing with the BCB Under-18 coaching staff showed itself on the tour and the players led by example for the rest of the squad to live up to.”
