WICB promise to invest more in HPC

ST.JOHN’S, Antigua,  CMC- The West Indies Cricket Board (WICB) is promising to invest more in the Sagicor High Performance Centre (SHPC) after one of its first graduates performed impressively during the just ended first test match between West Indies and New Zealand in Antigua.

WICB President Julian Hunte says he is confident more graduates of the centre will emerge after opener Kieran Powell scored his maiden test century in the first innings of the match.

The 22 year old Leeward Island left hander scored 134 and 30 as West Indies defeated the visitors by 9 wickets to take a one nil lead in the two match series.

“We are very pleased with the HPC programme and we are certain that we will see other graduates of the programme emerge in the coming seasons as well,” said Hunte who is in his third term as President.
