Sidelined West Indies batsman Kirk McKenzie is Campbell’s deputy in a squad that includes 18-year-old Excelsior High schoolboy Tamarie Redwood.

Leg-spinner Redwood represented West Indies Under-19s on a tour to Sri Lanka in late 2023 and was a reserve player for the Under-19 World Cup in South Africa early this year.

“Redwood has done well for Kensington in club cricket. He came into the trial matches and bowled exceptionally well. He’s a wicket-taker and he’s a young man that has a very bright future,” Haynes said when asked about the teenage spinner.

The coach said senior players could make their way into the squad at the back end of the Super50 Cup if the Scorpions progress deep into the tournament.

Until then, significant responsibility is on out-of-favour West Indies Test batsman Jermaine Blackwood to help Campbell to guide the youngsters.

“Blackwood wants to get back into West Indies cricket. He’s in a good frame of mind and he’s enjoying his cricket, so I’m looking for good things from him,” Haynes said.

Too much excitement Slipperyfella. This could have been compacted in one thread instead of wasting the internet's bandwidth.

Redwood to join Blackwood, both from the land of wood and water.

Is Redwood the u19 leggie?

he has some talent

In reply to doosra

Yes he is... Micah McKenzie is another, he's from LI I think.

Zishan Motara will turn out for WI Academy

In reply to voiceofreason Yes yes yes. JB is mih bwoy! Now, step up, as Barrington Levy would say.

There was the notion that there are no developing cricketers in Jamaica, ���� I just wanted to prove otherwise. I know VOD likes to show off his line up of youths and I just mentioned one youth for JA and he is already having hiccups

In reply to Slipfeeler

So the promising Jordan Johnson can only be a reserve on this squad.
Jamaica should do well then.

In reply to hubert

Yes what’s up with that, yet they wanted to name some unknown guy for captaincy

In reply to Slipfeeler

My expectations are that under Haynes, JA will not improve. Hope I am wrong
but ....I will be happy if I am not, for the good and betterment of the game in the YARD

In reply to hubert

Oh yea his name was Paul “Sammy” Palmer

VOD, your Sammy franchising his captaincy brand all over the region

In reply to Slipfeeler

So you have a Redwood and Blackwood in your squad all you need is a Bluewood, Yelllowwood and a Deadwood. Oops Dead is not a color but it fits in nicely with your squad. lol

In reply to voiceofreason

People does refer to Blackwoods as deadwood so they got that one covered...

De man celebrating because one youth in the squad... surrounded by a bunch of ole washed up players. It's a shame that a young player like Jordan Johnson can't make the squad.

Again thanks for your Goat of Confidence, I will bookmark your post.

In reply to Slipfeeler

Let me help you out with the squad...

Thank you Sir! Again who is Brad Barnes??

In reply to Slipfeeler
Could be John Barnes' long lost grandson? Football did not work out for him so he took up cricket?

Brad Barnes leapfrog Johnson in the new setup here!

Brad Barnes is a Jamaican cricketer. He made his List A debut for West Indies B in the 2018–19 Regional Super50 tournament on 15 October 2018. Prior to his List A debut, he was named in the West Indies' squad for the 2018 Under-19 Cricket World Cup.
