Barbados all-rounder, Raymon Reifer is set to rejoin Guyana Jaguars ahead of round four in the West Indies Championships. This is according to head coach, Esaun Crandon.

“Reif [Reifer] had a concussion in Barbados and he should be ok for the next game so most likely we will have him playing for us in the next game,” Crandon said.

The 28-year-old missed Jaguars’ third round home game against Trinidad and Tobago Red Force which they won by 219 runs and was under treatment and observation since being struck.

Reifer has played 72 First Class matches and scored 2753 runs with one century and 14 fifties. He has also taken 163 wickets with his left arm seam.

Jaguars, the five-time defending champions are currently at the top of the table with 44.6 points while Barbados Pride trail on 44.4 points. Windward Islands Volcanoes sit in third on 32.8 points as Red Force rank fourth with 32.6 points. Leeward Islands Hurricanes are in fifth with 26.6 points and Jamaica Scorpions round off the table with 21.2 points.

When the tournament resumes on February 6 in round four, Jaguars will be hosting Scorpions, Pride travel to St. Kitts to face Hurricanes and Volcanoes take on Red Force in Dominica.
