St.John’s, Antigua - West Indies Under 15 Rising Stars team completed its summer tour of England last weekend, winning two out of their four completed games, with rain forcing the other matches to be abandoned. 

 

This tour was the fifth consecutive summer tour to England by the West Indies Under 15 team. It is a reward for the top performing young players in the West Indies Rising Stars Under 15 Championship tournament held in Antigua this April, that was won by Trinidad and Tobago.

“This year didn't go perfectly as planned because a few of the matches were rain affected. Otherwise the tour was a very important one in the player development pathway for young caribbean cricketers”, said Liburd who represented the Leeward Islands in domestic cricket.
