Under 19 players Phillip, Amir Jangoo called up to the Red Force training squad.

Fast bowler, Anderson Phillip has become the first player from the Trinidad and Tobago Under-19 team to be called up to the Red Force training squad.

Phillip was Trinidad and Tobago’s leading bowler at the West Indies Under-19 tournament in Jamaica and was unlucky not to be selected for the Young West Indies training squad to prepare for the ICC Under-19 World Cup in Bangladesh next year.

“I was really happy when I got the call from coach Kelvin Williams that I was invited to train with the Red Force team. Since I returned from the Under-19 tournament in Jamaica I have been preparing in anticipation that I would get the call up and I am ready physically and mentally for this opportunity,” said Phillip after training.

Merry Boys wicketkeeper/batsman, Amir Jangoo has become the second Trinidad and Tobago Under-19 player to be called up to the Red Force training squad.

He joins fast bowler Anderson Phillip in the training squad and will go straight into action this weekend in the first practice game at the National Cricket Centre, Balmain, Couva.

The Fatima College student revealed that he was elated about his inclusion into the Red Force setup after recently competing at the West Indies Under-19 Championships in Jamaica.
