West Indies push cricket in Central Florida

Thu, Oct 24, '13

ORLANDO, Florida:

The outfield was a little bumpy and the pitch was less than perfect as well, but what the patch of green located on the property of the Poinciana Community Complex offered for the West Indies senior men's team was a chance to reach out to the Caribbean community here, as they continue their own bonding ahead of a tough assignment.

Situated some 36 miles south of Downtown Orlando, the complex was a kaleidoscope of Caribbean culture on Tuesday, as the West Indies Elite Tour - a team-building exercise ahead of the upcoming India tour, continued with the team going through a two-hour training session in front of eager, cricket-loving immigrants from the region.
