Da Silva, Cephas Cooper drafted into Red F team for new regional T20 tourney
West Indies wicket-keeper/batsman Joshua Da Silva and in-form opener Cephas Cooper have been included in Trinidad and Tobago's picks to round off their 14-man squad for the Cricket West Indies' (CWI) new regional Twenty/20 tournament which is tentatively scheduled for April 25-May 9.
The draft for the tournament was held on February 24, with the TT team, which will be dubbed TT Legions, focusing on bolstering their pace attack to complete their squad after their seven initial protected picks were confirmed. The seven protected picks prior to the draft were Navin Bidaisee, Jyd Goolie, Caribbean Premier League (CPL) winner Mikkel Govia, Joshua James, Kamil Pooran, Crystian Thurton and wicket-keeper/batsman Amir Jangoo, who debuted for the Windies in a One-day international last December, before making his Test debut against Pakistan in January.
Cooper and Da Silva aside, the other players picked by TT in the draft to round off their team were Profilbau Victoria United allrounder Damion Joachim and seamers McKenny Clarke, Johann Layne, Shaaron Lewis and Abdul-Raheem Toppin. Clarke and Layne, who have had CPL exposure with St Lucia Kings and St Kitts and Nevis Patriots respectively, were TT's two overseas picks in the draft. Clarke, 21, is from St Lucia, and the 21-year-old Layne is from Barbados.
