Red Force acquire Deonarine from Hurricanes

Fri, Sep 18, '15

The Red Force has acquired all-rounder, Narsingh Deonarine for the 2015/2016 West Indies Cricket Board (WICB) Professional Cricket League season.

This was due to an agreement between the Trinidad and Tobago Cricket Board and Leeward Islands Cricket Association to swap the experienced Deonarine for Jamaican batsman Nkrumah Bonner who was drafted by the Red Force.

Deonarine became the top pick of the WICB Player Draft when selected by the Leeward Islands Hurricanes after declining a retainer contract by the Guyana Jaguars. The Guyanese all-rounder’s wife is Trinidadian and representing the Red Force allowed him to be with his family while competing at the regional level.

“I would like to thank the Leeward Islands Cricket Association for reaching an agreement which allows Narsingh to play for the Red Force and be with his family in Trinidad. Also I would like to commend Nkrumah on being receptive to the trade and we would like to wish him a successful season with the Hurricanes,” said Chief Executive Officer of the TTCB, Suruj Ragoonath.
