Narine's advice helps windball star Hinds find hard-ball success

Known as a no-nonsense and dangerous batsman on the local windball circuit for many years, allrounder Terrance Hinds announced himself on the First-Class cricket scene in 2020 when he struck an impressive 102 not out off just 76 balls against Leeward Islands Hurricanes in a West Indies four-day Championship match at the Brian Lara Cricket Academy, Tarouba. Hinds' feat was made all the more impressive as it was only his second game at that level for TT Red Force.

Encouraged for many years by his friend and champion spinner Sunil Narine to transfer his skills from windball cricket to the hard-ball game, Hinds says he cherishes the opportunity to represent both Red Force and TKR. Additionally, the La Canoa, Santa Cruz native told Newsday he's not giving up on his ultimate dream of representing the West Indies."I lost my sister, my uncle, my mum and my grandmother to covid19," he said. "I have a tattoo of their initials on my fingers. I do that for them. That's where the celebration came from."

Now a member of the Central Sports team which copped the TT Cricket Board's (TTCB) National League Premiership I and Twenty/20 Festival titles this year, Hinds has set his sights on a fruitful CPL season with TKR.

I haven't heard about windball cricket for years. Is it big in TNT? What about tape ball cricket?
