SHIVNAUTH Seeram is listed among the pair of
brothers to have represented Guyana at the First
Class level, while his sibling Ravindranauth
went a step further by donning colours for
West Indies B.
Following his migration to Canada, Shivnauth also
had the distinction of playing for the Canadian national
team between 1996 and 1998.
Seeram made his debut for the Canadian National team
in October 1996, playing in the Shell/Sandals Trophy
(a West Indian domestic competition in which Canada
were competing as a guest team). At that tournament,
he shared the wicket-keeping duties with Alex Glegg,
although in all other matches for Canada he played
solely as a batsman.
The following year, Seeram played in the 1997 ICC
Trophy in Malaysia, featuring in six of his team’s
seven matches. He had little success, however,
scoring only 76 runs in six innings (with a best of 25
against Denmark).. Seeram’s final match for Canada
came in the 1997–98 Red Stripe Bowl (the renamed
Shell/Sandals Trophy), against his country of origin,
Guyana.
However, the name Seeram has been a permanent
fixture in the softball arena ever since where he
has been churning out outstanding performances
notably in the Ontario Masters Softball Cricket Clubs
(OMSCC) tournaments.
Skippering Toronto Blizzards in both the domestic and
international competitions, Seeram has excelled over
the years with his team’s most recent success being
crowned the 2021 Over-50 champions.
Playing unbeaten throughout the season, Toronto
Blizzards kept their record intact with an easy victory
over opponents Cosmos with Seeram leading from the
front by a responsible knock of 70 which saw his team
reaching a challenging 182 for seven off their allotted
20 overs.
When the rains halted proceedings, Cosmos were 45
for three after 10 overs, thereby losing on run rate.
The performance earned Seeram the Most Valuable Player
(MVP) of the final award.
In what his regarded as his team’s biggest achievement in
the Over-50 category, came in 2019 when Toronto Blizzards
captured the New York Softball Cricket League (NYSCL) title,
becoming the second team to cop a softball crown outside
of Canada following a similar feat by the Royal Canadian
Masters (RCM) the previous year.
In a masterful display, Toronto Blizzards defeated New York
Hustlers by seven runs in a pulsating final, played at Seaview
