ST JOHN’S, Antigua – Cricket West Indies (CWI) today announced the players for the Rising Stars U19 High-Performance Camp in Antigua. The camp has been designed to help lift the players to the next level of physical and mental skills development, in the ongoing preparation program for the 2022 ICC U19 Cricket World Cup to be played in the West Indies in January and February next year. The players have begun arriving in Antigua over the past weekend.

Along with targeted coaching sessions, the players will also compete in warm-up matches, and more intense “trial” matches at the Sir Vivian Richards Stadium and Coolidge Cricket Ground international venues. The final squad of 18 players will be selected for the West Indies Rising Stars U19 Tour of England in September where they will play six Youth One-Day Internationals. 

“Given all the challenges we faced over the last twelve months, a huge amount of work has taken place across the region to identify and start developing those players in the provisional pool for the ICC U19 World Cup,” said Graeme West, CWI’s High-Performance Manager.
