ST GEORGE’S, Grenada, CMC – The Grenada Cricket Association (GCA) has included three newcomers in a 13-member squad selected to participate in this year’s Windward Islands Two-day Cricket Tournament, starting in St Vincent later this month.

Windward Islands Under-19 captain all-rounder Ryan John, batsman Emmanuel Stewart and fast bowler Craig Phillip are the three newcomers to senior cricket, according to the GCA.
