Damodar Daesrath (born 4 July 1981) is a former international cricketer who played at One Day International (ODI) and Twenty20 International level for the Canadian national team. Prior to immigrating to Canada, he represented Guyana in West Indian domestic cricket.[1]
Daesrath was born in Cumberland Village, in Guyana's East Berbice-Corentyne region.[2] A former Guyana under-19s player,[3] he made his first-class debut in April 2002, playing for a GCB President's XI against the touring Indians. Daesrath's senior debut for Guyana came in the 2003–04 Carib Beer Cup.[4] He scored 56 runs against West Indies B in his third game of the competition,[5] and added another half-century in the semi-final against Barbados.[6] During the 2004–05 Carib Beer Cup, Daesrath was appointed interim captain of Guyana while Shivnarine Chanderpaul was playing for the West Indies, captaining the team in the tournament's first five matches.[4] In the first match after Chanderpaul's return, against Trinidad and Tobago, he took a five-wicket haul, 5/34.[7]
Despite his brief period as captain, the 2004–05 season was Daesrath's last for Guyana.
