HEADLINE: Joshua Da Silva: Red Force not focused on title yet

Trinidad and Tobago Red Force captain Joshua Da Silva has said the team would like to break their drought in the West Indies Four-Day Championship tournament, but will not think too far ahead, as there is still a lot of cricket to be played in the campaign.

The second-placed Red Force are off to a promising start, with two wins and one draw after three rounds of action. The TT batsmen have been inconsistent over the past few seasons, but not this year.

Four rounds still remain, with Red Force yet to face leaders and defending champions Guyana Harpy Eagles and the consistent Barbados Pride.

Red Force have not won a four-day title since 2006, but the TT skipper said ending the title drought is not the focus this early in the campaign.

Speaking to regional journalists on Microsoft Teams on February 24, Da Silva said, “Every year we talk about it and keep saying it has been 18 years, 19 years and now 20 years. It is always in the back of our minds, but this year as a group we have decided that we are just going to take it game by game.

Good on ya Josh, great to see he is back in the runs.
Think he has very strong natural leadership qualities which will only improve as he matures.
It may have been that the focus on captaining Red Force, windies A and the VC of the test team distracted somewhat from his own game, but I do believe he will only improve especially in his batting.

I seem to have a bias towards TT wicketkeeper-batsmen.
