ST. JOHN’S, Antigua – Identification of the future stars of WINDIES cricket begins on March 28 in Jamaica.
That’s when the best of the region’s junior players come together to battle it out in the Regional Under-15 Tournament.
It’s an action-packed week of junior matches, where the talent spotters of Cricket West Indies dare to look into the crystal ball and identify the depth and strength of playing talent coming through the pipeline.
“This is one of the key development tournaments on the Cricket West Indies annual calendar,” said CWI Director of Cricket Jimmy Adams.
“This tournament serves the purpose of encouraging junior players from across the Caribbean to excel and be given the opportunity for early recognition, while promoting competition among their peers at the regional level.”
Adams added: “In our bid to make WINDIES a consistently successful side in the near and long-term future, it is important that we pay close attention to our development pipeline and make sure it is working effectively.
“Having regional matches for players in this age group is extremely valuable in helping us understand what’s in the pipeline, so we know where to focus our attention.”
