Cottrell set to bolster Red Force attack
The management staff of the Trinidad and Tobago Red Force will have a tough decision in selecting a starting XI, as fast bowler Sheldon Cottrell is expected to be in the squad against the Guyana Jaguars in round four of the Digicel Regional Four-Day tournament.
Second placed Red Force will play leaders Guyana at the Brian Lara Cricket Academy in Tarouba from tomorrow until Sunday. The Red Force are off to a promising start to the season with one win and two draws under their belt.
The return of Cottrell will add more depth to the bowling attack which had an excellent match against Windward Islands Volcanoes in the last round at the Queens Park Oval, St Clair.

But the presence of Denesh Ramdin, Jason Mohammed, Kyle Hope and last seasons leading batsman Yannic Cariah in the batting, along with left-arm fast bowler Sheldon Cottrell to spearhead the attack gives the Red Force an edge which they previously could not boast.
The Jaguars are practically at full strength and have survived the absence of key players in the first two rounds, and will be no pushovers.
With the conditions at the BLCG still an unknown factor, its hard to choose a winner, so predicting a draw could be the safe choice.
Squads:
[b]RED FORCE (from) Denesh Ramdin (captain), Yannic Cariah, Bryan Charles, Sheldon Cottrell, Kyle Hope, Amir Jangoo, Imran Khan, Jason Mohammed, Khary Pierre, Roshon Primus, Jeremy Solozano, Daniel St. Clair, Tion Webster

JAGUARS (from) Leon Johnson (captain), Anthony Bramble, Shivnarine Chanderpaul, Tagenarine Chanderpaul, Rajendra Chandrika, Chanderpaul Hemraj, Keon Joseph, Gudakesh Motie, Keemo Paul, Veerasammy Permaul, Sherfane Rutherford, Romario Shepherd, Vishaul Singh
Not one negative post on Cottrell replacing a trini, yet many negative posts last week ,on one of their top performers, returning to the squad.

Supporting who?Boss don't get it twisted. I supporting a draw which looks likely how lethargic the Guyknees Pussycats are batting.
