Regional four-day cricket has been on hold since March 2020 due to the Covid-19 pandemic however Adams said CWI is looking to kick off the first-class competition in February with a minimum of five rounds of matches.
Despite the uncertainty of regional competition, the Red Force, under coach David Furlonge have kept up their training programme and will now have three three-day games, the first of which bowls off on Wednesday at the Brian Lara Cricket Academy in Tarouba.The second three-day game will be played at the same venue from November 24, while the third match is tentatively set to be played at the National Cricket Centre in Balmain from December 1.
