West Indies all-rounder Raymon Reifer is set to play his first-ever first class game in a Barbados Pride shirt after being named in a 13-member squad for the opening round fixture against Leeward Islands Hurricanes starting here next month.The 30-year-old, who has spent every season of the Professional Cricket League franchise system with multiple-time champions Guyana Jaguars, is part of a squad led by West Indies Test skipper Kraigg Brathwaite and which includes Test gloveman Shane Dowrich.Batsman Jonathan Drakes, 27, is the only inclusion who is uncapped at first class level, even though he has already played 15 games in the shorter format.Reifer, who played a single Test four years ago and the last of his five One-Day Internationals 13 months ago, has been a pivotal cog in the wheel of Jaguars’ success which saw them win five titles on the trot.A solid left-hander who bowls steady left-arm seam, Reifer endured a lean opening season when he scored 227 runs and took just eight wickets but in the second PCL season, he gathered nearly 300 runs and snared 22 wickets.
