Johnson just wants to keep scoring runs

Thu, Sep 11, '14

Georgetown, Guyana - At 27, left-handed middle order batsman Leon Johnson gets another chance to make his Test debut on Saturday when West Indies oppose Bangladesh in the second and final Dhaka Bank Test match here in St Lucia.

The Guyana First-Class Captain has been asked to join the squad since opener Chris Gayle is reportedly injured. Johnson traveled from Barbados yesterday where he is attending the University of the West Indies (UWI) and representing them in BCA tournaments.

Johnson, who has played three ODIs for the West Indies but none since 2008 when the Regional team faced Canada at King City in North America, has two centuries and 19 fifties from 50 First-Class matches after making his debut at this level as a 16-year-old.
