The Trinidad and Tobago Cricket Association has announced a 14-man squad for a limited-overs tour (series) to Barbados between May 19-25. The tournament includes three T20 matches as well as two 50-over matches.
The team will be coached by Reniece Boyce and will also feature Karishma Ramharack, who played an active role in leading the West Indies to the semi-finals of the 2022 World Cup in New Zealand. The team also has Anna-Marie Pereira, who has been constantly training with the West Indies team. Pereira’s ability with the ball is much talked about and the same will be on display during the tournament.
The tournament has been organized with the 2022 regional tournament in Guyana in mind. So that the players could get enough match practice leading up to the tournament, which is scheduled to take place in June this year.
Meanwhile, Barbados will be one of the sides to participate in the upcoming Commonwealth Games in Birmingham, England from July 28 to August 8 and thus the tournament will surely strengthen their preparations leading up to the mega spectacle.
