West conjures up recipe for U-19 cricket success

 FOLLOWING a successful staging of the West Indies Cricket Board (WICB) Regional Under-19 Championships, the region's best Under-19 players will now focus their attention on the ICC Youth World Cup.

After showcasing their talent to break into the squad, 19 players were selected for a two-week camp at the University of the West Indies (UWI), Mona as they commence preparation for next year's tournament in Bangladesh.

Graeme West, head coach of the High Performance Centre (HPC), believes the squad, which includes Jamaicans Michael Frew, Odean Smith and Shahid Crooks, has potential but needs to improve significantly above what was displayed during the championship.
