Opening round washed out due to torrential rainfall

The highly anticipated start to the Cricket West Indies (CWI) Rising Stars U-15 50-overs competition yesterday had to be abandoned due to torrential rainfall in Antigua and Barbuda.

The rain forced officials to abandon all three matches across the island as the playing surfaces were inundated. Guyana, which was slated to face Barbados in their opening encounter, will now set their sights on tomorrow’s assignment, Trinidad and Tobago, at the Coolidge Cricket Ground.
