Reigning champions Barbados Pride once again find themselves ravished for the West Indies Championship which resumes Wednesday with the third round.They will come up against Leeward Islands Hurricanes at Queen’s Park Oval in Trinidad but will be without all their leading players, all of whom have just completed West Indies duty or are still in South Africa for the white-ball series.Missing are West Indies captain Kraigg Brathwaite, along with fast bowlers Kemar Roach and Akeem Jordan, who were members of the Test squad for the two-match series.Stroke-maker Shamarh Brooks, who turned out in the first two rounds of the championship, has been called up to both white-ball squads for the March 16-28 campaign and has been joined by all-rounders Jason Holder, Raymon Reifer, Roston Chase and Kyle Mayers.While neither Brathwaite, Roach, Holder, Chase nor Mayers featured in the opening two rounds, Jordan will be a big miss for Pride as he is the competition’s leading wicket-taker with 12 scalps.
