An attacking T&T Red Force squad which includes several experienced cricketers and talented youngsters has been selected to face the West Indies in a 50-over practice match on June 20 from 9am at the National Cricket Centre, Balmain, Couva.
Seasoned international cricketers Darren Bravo, Lendl Simmons, Sunil Narine and Samuel Badree provides an experienced core to the team. They are complimented by Amir Jangoo, Tion Webster, Yannic Cariah and Isiah Rajah who represent the new generation of batting talent to emerge from Trinidad and Tobago. Marlon Richards who finished the First Class season at the helm of the Red Force will lead the team once again.
The quartet were the dominant batsmen for the Red Force at the regional level and were dominant in the Trinidad and Tobago Cricket Board domestic season. Also selected in the squad is highly rated leg-spinner Kissondath Magram. The 23-year-old is considered to be the best spinner in Trinidad and Tobago and should be a handful for the West Indies batsmen.
Tickets for the match is $40 and will be sold at the gate and at the Box Office. Patrons attending the practice match will qualify for a 25% discount on tickets of the first and second One-Day International between the West Indies and India on June 23 and 25 at the Queen’s Park Oval, Port-of-Spain.
