Dynamic Primus ready for a Warriors victory

Roshon Shonelle Primus may not be as well-known as some of his fellow Warriors, but his talent is what defines him. The hard-hitting, dynamic Bajan is a force to be reckoned with when he is on the field and that makes him an ideal player for the selectors.
Primus will celebrate his 23rd birthday in just a matter of days, and hopes to continue on the upward trajectory in his cricketing career.
The young cricketer, who grew up in St Peter, remembers his childhood as one filled with sporting activities. Apart from cricket, he can play a good game of tennis as well as score a few goals on the football field.
Primus received his education at the Coleridge and Parry Secondary School in Ashton Hall, St Peter. He said that his love for the game developed at the age of 12 and like most cricketers he just could not get the game out of his head.
“At the beginning, it was like a hobby for me and just playing for the love of the game. As time passed, I started to think about travelling the world and make a life from cricket, so I worked hard and continue to work hard at it achieving that dream.”
The all-rounder made his First-Class debut for Trinidad and Tobago in the 2016-17 Regional Four-Day Competition on November 11, 2016. During his debut, he took seven wickets for 68 runs with six of those wickets coming for 30 runs. His superb bowling would lead to Trinidad and Tobago winning with nine wickets to spare.
He made his List A debut for Trinidad and Tobago in the 2016-17 Regional Super50 on January 27, 2017 and made his Twenty20 debut for Guyana Amazon Warriors in the 2017 Caribbean Premier League (CPL) on August 11, 2017.
Primus describes his cricketing style as dynamic, adding that it is an absolute pleasure to represent the Guyana Amazon Warriors for the second time. He says Warriors fans can expect a spectacle with the current team, adding that the squad this year is a beast.
This year, the Warriors squad is being described as a force to be reckoned with. They would be led by veteran all-rounder Shoaib Malik. Malik, who is just three runs short of 7000 international ODI runs, is rated among the best limited-overs players in the world currently with almost 10,000 T20 runs in total, under his belt.
The other members of the squad are Sohail Tanvir, Chadwick Walton, Cameron Delport, Rayad Emrit, Imran Tahir, Jason Mohammed, Luke Ronchi, Veerasammy Permaul, Roshon Primus, Devendra Bishoo, Gajanand Singh, Sherfane Rutherford, Romario Shepherd, Keemo Paul, Saurabh Netravalkar, and Akshaya Persaud.
