Ashmead Nedd is the latest to come out of the Demerara Cricket Club that has produced talents like C Lloyd, L Gibbs, Christiani brothers and many such players. Influenced by his father Garvin Nedd who is also a coach in the club and the Guyana Youth team, Ashmead switched from bowling left-arm seam to left-arm spin and went on to become the leading bowler for his club. After making his 1st division debut for DCC at the age of 13, he went on to represent Guyana in all levels of age-group cricket.
With his exploits for the Guyana U-19 side, Ashmead was named in the 15 men West Indies U19 squad for the 2018 U19 World Cup. He failed to make an impact in the tournament after grabbing one wicket from 5 matches. With another U19 World Cup tournament nearing, Ashmead got the chance to represent the West Indies Emerging Players in the Domestic Super50 tournament in 2019. West Indies Emerging Players won the tournament with A Nedd taking 11 wickets from 6 matches at 10.27 with an economy rate of 3.27 and sealed a spot in the West Indies U19 squad for the 2020 U19 CWC.
After performing well in the U19 Tri-Series tournament involving West Indies, Sri Lanka and England, Nedd became the highest wicket-taker for the West Indies team in the 2020 U19 WC bagging 11 scalps from 6 games. A contract for the West Indies domestic competition 2020/21 came as a reward after Leeward Hurricanes picked him as their first choice in the draft. He will be plying his trade for his home franchise Guyana Amazon Warriors in the 2020 CPL season.
