KINGSTON, Jamaica, CMC-Jamaica has been chosen as the venue for the Regional Under-19 cricket Tournament scheduled to start in July.
The Directors of the West Indies Cricket Board (WICB) made the announcement after a teleconference meeting this week.
The six regional teams – Barbados, Guyana, Jamaica, Leeward Islands, Trinidad & Tobago and Windward Islands – along with a side from ICC Americas will play the other once in a round-robin competition with the top two teams contesting the Final to determine the winner.
“It is a fantastic opportunity for the region’s best young players to showcase their talent to break into the West Indies Under-19 squad for the ICC Youth World Cup next year in Bangladesh,” said WICB Director of Cricket Richard Pybus.
“The side has already contested the NAGICO Super 50 and currently a number of players are concluding a training camp in Barbados as part of the continued build-up.”
The Regional Under-19 Tournament is scheduled to take place from July 20 to August 16.
