Head coach sees cricket festival as ideal warmup
West Indies coach Ottis Gibson says he is looking forward to his team bowing into action in the inaugural Supreme Ventures Sports Betting Jamaica Cricket Festival, which is scheduled to move to the Trelawny Multi-purpose Stadium this weekend with a series of Twenty20 matches.
Speaking on arrival at the Norman Manley Airport yesterday, Gibson, who was accompanied by several members of the team, said the festival offered an opportunity to assess the team ahead of this month's ICC World Twenty20 championship which will be staged in the eastern Caribbean.
Meanwhile, it seems that organisers may have run into a hiccup as Trelawny Parish Council has instructed its technical officers to shut down the Trelawny stadium.
