ST JOHN'S, Antigua (CMC) — Joshua Da Silva headlines a specialist wicket-keeping camp that he is expecting to not only sharpen his glove skills but improve his batting for the Test squad.

The hero from the West Indies' sensational Test Series triumph over England earlier this year is joined by West Indies T20 International keeper Devon Thomas, as well as Tevin Imlach and Daniel Williams at the Coolidge Cricket Ground (CCG), after being invited to be part of the Cricket West Indies (CWI) Emerging Players Academy programme.

"I am always working on my keeping and also working on my fitness. It is great that CWI brought me to Antigua for this week to work with the coaches and improve my skills as much as I can, so I can't thank them enough for that," said Da Silva, who has played 16 Tests and taken 57 catches and effected four stumpings.

Happy for Devon, but seriously? We do not have a any "raw" talent to polish? Devon is already Devon.

what i want to know who are these coaches at this specialists camp jamal smith was not even good enough to be barbados first or second choice keeper and can't bat and you got him coaching somebody. they should start bringing in people who can teach these boys how to play spin and fast bowling send out invitations to coaches from the sub continent and other places and stop relying only on local coaches who have shown they are not equipped
