More Barbadians are playing regional cricket than in any of the territories; it is at the international level, where our players are not moving forward.
The CPL is different.

Jordan Graham have a lot of time to play his shots. Theo Edward also looks the part.
Hope the youths continue to learn and improve.

Justin Parris (U15 captain) leg break bowling is getting better by leaps and bounds. His batting was always there!

Tournament needs to be longer . Why was it only 3 rounds when you have 6 teams? Leewards did well to finish 2nd but they never played Barbados.

Graham and Harding already on their radar, both are at UK school.
Graham doing A levels, Harding in the lower form.

Same here. I thought this was going to be a 2/3 week t'ment to give the boys a chance to play some red ball cricket.

Anyways, congrats to the Bajan boys.
