ST JOHN’S, Antigua – West Indies Under-19 captain Joshua Dorne says the squad is ready to embrace the challenge of Sri Lanka in a seven-match Youth One-Day International series, which bowls off on Saturday, 30 August at the Coolidge Cricket Ground.

The Barbadian batter, who recently guided his country to the regional Under-19 title while earning the tournament’s MVP award, steps onto the international stage full of confidence and determination.

Dorne, who gained previous international experience as part of the West Indies team at the 2024 ICC Men’s Under 19 World Cup, praised the standard of the regional competition, which, for the first time, featured guest teams from the United States.

“I think the regional tournament was well put together. With the inclusion of the USA teams, it was a bit more competitive. I managed to reach some of my goals there and now I feel good about this series against Sri Lanka,” Dorne said.
