Auguste Delivers for Windies Academy and Sets Sights on Bigger Goals

Ackeem Auguste aspires for his recent batting performance to lay the groundwork for greater achievements as the West Indies Academy seeks redemption in their upcoming four-day match against Sri Lanka Emerging Players. The 21-year-old left-handed batsman from Saint Lucia impressed with scores of 41 and 82, showcasing the determination and skill essential for his future success. Although the Academy lost by 75 runs, Auguste’s explosive 82 off 95 balls in the second innings suggested he is poised to convert potential into reliability.Chasing 297, the home side was all out for 222 within 50.5 overs. “It’s a start,” Auguste reflected, expressing a mixture of pride and self-reflection after narrowly missing out on securing a win. He indicated the Academy's positive cricketing philosophy, which fuels his aggressive batting style, greatly influences his performance. His recent training at the Chennai Super Kings Academy has bolstered his technique against spin, which proved crucial against Sri Lanka’s bowler trio. With the next match approaching, the Academy hopes Auguste's performance serves as a catalyst for ongoing success.
