Although the host country for this year’s Regional Limited Overs tournament has not been named by the West Indies Cricket Board (WICB), the six territorial boards have gone ahead and named their squads in preparation for the match.
Recently, the senior selection panel of the Guyana Cricket Board (GCB) met and short-listed a 22-man squad for possible selection on the 14-man squad for the Regional tournament, and has sprung a surprise with the inclusion of national under-19 wicket keeper batsman Anthony Bramble, former national under-19 opener Rajendra Chandrika and former national under-15 batsman Ravi Sarwan. Also included in the squad are Guyana’s four Stanford Superstars in West Indies middle order batsman and International Cricket Council Cricketer-of-the-Year, Shivnarine Chanderpaul, West Indies vice captain Ramnaresh Sarwan along with Travis Dowlin and all rounder Lennox Cush.
