The Guyana Basketball Federation (GBF) has announced its men\u2019s and women\u2019s 3\u00d73 basketball teams for two major international assignments later this month, with the country set to compete at the Commonwealth Games in Scotland and the Central American and Caribbean (CAC) Games in the Dominican Republic.<\/p>\n
The Commonwealth Games will be held in Glasgow from July 23 to August 2, while the CAC Games are scheduled for July 24 to August 8 in Santo Domingo.<\/p>\n
The announcements mark another significant milestone for Guyana\u2019s expanding 3\u00d73 programme, with the men\u2019s team preparing to make history by competing in the discipline at both the Commonwealth Games and the CAC Games for the first time.<\/p>\n
Meanwhile, the women\u2019s team returns to the CAC Games after making its debut at the 2023 edition in El Salvador and will be aiming for a stronger performance this time around.<\/p>\n
For the Commonwealth Games, Guyana\u2019s men\u2019s squad comprises Anish Ramlall, Travis Belgrave, Christian Hinckson and Kevin Mickle.<\/p>\n

The team will be coached by Kidani Brutus, who plays professionally for world-ranked 3\u00d73 powerhouse Team Harlem and has represented the United States in international 3\u00d73 competition.<\/p>\n
GBF Vice President Rawle Toney will serve as the contingent\u2019s Technical Delegate.<\/p>\n
Following his participation at the Commonwealth Games, Hinckson will travel directly to Santo Domingo to join Guyana\u2019s men\u2019s team for the CAC Games.<\/p>\n
There, he will link up with Travis Burnett, Nikkoloi Smith and Akil Hughes as Guyana embarks on another historic campaign.<\/p>\n
The women\u2019s team selected for the CAC Games features Anaya Clemons, DeAngelique Waithe, Jamaicy Ogle and Ruth Adams.<\/p>\n
Willon Cameron has been appointed head coach of both the men\u2019s and women\u2019s CAC teams, while GBF Vice President Jermaine Slater will serve as Technical Delegate.<\/p>\n

GBF President Michael Singh described the selections as another reward for the Federation\u2019s sustained investment in developing 3\u00d73 basketball.<\/p>\n
He noted that Guyana\u2019s qualification for two prestigious multi-sport events reflects years of planning and commitment by the Federation to grow the discipline alongside the traditional five-on-five game.<\/p>\n
Singh also highlighted an exceptionally busy year for the national basketball programme, citing the men\u2019s participation in the FIBA AmeriCup Caribbean Pre-Qualifiers and the women\u2019s campaign in the FIBA CentroBasket Qualifiers as evidence of the Federation\u2019s balanced approach to developing both formats of the sport.<\/p>\n
He expressed confidence in the squads selected, saying they represent a healthy blend of the country\u2019s best available local talent and experienced diaspora players, a combination he believes gives Guyana the best opportunity to compete at a high level.<\/p>\n
Singh also acknowledged the continued support of the Guyana Olympic Association (GOA), noting that many of the Federation\u2019s initiatives aimed at exposing Guyanese players to international 3\u00d73 competition would not have been possible without the GOA\u2019s backing.<\/p>\n
According to Singhe, the partnership with the GOA has played a pivotal role in the continued growth of the discipline and the opportunities now available to the country\u2019s basketball players on the international stage.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
