Barbados: A team of fourteen from Barbados is all set to compete in the two-day 50-over Cup Championships in Trinidad and Tobago from August 11 to September 3, 2024.
From a squad of 22 young cricketers who were called up for the national squad in preparation for this year’s Cricket West Indies Regional Under-17 Tournament, fourteen of them were named for the team to compete in the two-day and 50-Over Cup Championship.
The full team which will compete in the tournament in Trinidad and Tobago from August 11 to September 3 is made up of, Xaundre Baptiste, Shaquan Belle, Gadson Bowens, Joshua Branch, Zachary Carter, Joshua Dorne, R’Jai Gittens, Jordan Graham, Micah Greenidge, Khomari Griffith, Kevion Newton, Jakeem Pollard, Damani Roach and Damarko Wiggins.
The boys were grouped in two teams captained by Gadston Bowen of the Graydon Sealy School and Xaundre Baptiste of Queen’s College and they played two two-day trial matches and a 50 over one-day match before the team was decided.
