The Regional Super50 tournament is set to kick off with the series opener between Barbados and Sagicor High Performance Centre, on October 19, at the Everest Cricket Club Ground, Georgetown, Guyana.
Other contenders on the tournament, spanning between October 19 and October 29, include Guyana, Winward Islands, Combined Campuses and Colleges, Trinidad and Tobago, Jamaica, and Leeward Islands.
Commenting on his team, the Jamaican Coach, Junior Bennett, said that he will be leading a balanced squad of players that were most effective on the Guyana pitches.
The Coach added that he hopes that the young players on the team make good use of the opportunity to play for Jamaica, which may pave a solid spot for them on the squad.
“It is also good to see a few young players emerging like Blackwood and Lewis, and we hope they come and make good use of the opportunity,” he added.
However, Bennet also feels that his team will aim to come out with an exceptional performance on the competition, that would aid the side in marking its first win on the tournament since 2007.
