The Barbados U15 team are the new Under 15 Rising Stars Champions after a stunning 192-run victory against the Windwards Islands team in the final round of the tournament.

Barbados U15 registered 297 runs in just under 50 overs before ripping through the Windwards batting line up for just 105 runs.



Cruelty!

Barbados won the tournament by fast bowling points.

They finished with 4 fast bowling points compared to Guyana 1.2 points.

CWI couldn't find an extra day for the two top teams to play each other? Especially after the first round was washed out?

Is there a reason for CWI to extend the series based on two teams, rain out match?
Next year Guyana may be the winner, would it be okay to have a rule change at the end of that series, and when should the changes stop?

Bro, there is a smile on this fan's face, knowing we have another trophy.
Talent is on the Island, we have Springer and Walcott playing for the Windwards and Greaves playing for the Leewards, along with many turning out for CCC and the academy.
It is up to the BCA to get the development of the players sorted.
Specialized coaches need to be working with our age group cricketers from the U13 level to the U19, each player has his/her areas where teaching is needed.
I hope no one changes Wiggin's approach to batting but looks at areas via video, that will assist him, going forward

I was looking forward to seeing him bat against the Leeward, he was bowled for a duck.
I will google him, to get videos of him batting.

Wiggins rest a ton on Leewards Revo North. He didn't trouble the scorers v Yard. Nothing wrong with the yute once he continues batting and catching at his high level he will be ok. He's very mobile. He isn't that big anyway what's the fuss

I just saw a video of him playing against the Leewards in 2023, he put some pounds in the last year, and his size was commented on last Tuesday.
He is a big youth, the biggest I have seen watching the videos.
I can see him being part of next year's U19 Barbados squad, Bim's cricket is in good hands.
