Trinidad and Tobago will open their West Indies Rising Stars Under-15 Championship campaign against Guyana at the Coolidge Cricket Ground in Antigua, from 9.30 am on Tuesday.
The entire 50-over tournament will be held in Antigua. TT will be banking on experience as the majority of the players were on the squad last year. The team will be captained by batsman Brendan Boodoo and spinner Yasir Dean will serve as the vice-captain.
Christian Lall, Darius Batoosingh and Boodoo are among the top-order batsmen in the squad. Zakilon Beckles and Arion Mohammed will lead the fast bowling attack and Ra’ed Ali Khan will bring variety with his left-arm spin.
In other round one matches, Leeward Islands will play Windward Islands at the Sir Vivian Richards Stadium and Jamaica will face Barbados at Liberta Sports Club.
