The Dominica senior national cricket team will leave the island today to represent the country in the Windward Islands Cricket Tournament in Grenada.
Dominica has not won the senior tournament for over ten years and Captain Liam Sebastien is confident that the team will bring the trophy home this time.
Kershaski Jno-lewis is the only new comer to the team which includes experienced players, Tyrone Theophille, Ray Casmir, Vivian Titre, Mervin Matthew, Kevin James and Liam Sebastien.
Kavem Hodge is expected to join the team later, from Barbados, where he is now studying at the University of the West Indies.
Notable absentees from the team are Shane Shillingford, who is representing the West Indies Cricket team, and Vincent Lewis.
The tournament begins on Thursday and will be played over the next two weeks.
It will entail a 20-20 competition and a two day competition.
This is graprfruit class cricket
We have a West Indies / Windward administration with absolutely no vision for the game of cricket. No wonder in our last three tests by the time this one against New Zeland is over we will be 0-3 being beaten by an inning again and in 3 days. How does one expect to play good cricket when our windward tournament which was at one time a four day event be reduced to two days? No wonder our test players can only win in T20. WE need Clive Lloyd
I hope Kavem Hodge gets a fair chance.
He is the most talented Dominica player, currently at HPC and singled out by senior selectors. Just like Mervyn was.
Its time for people to stop interrupting the careers of young men who can go all the way/
Good luck guys play hard
Congratulations to kershaski Jno Lewis the youngest player.do your best.Gian Benjamin and Anderson Burton,big up!
How old is Ray? Don’t you think its time he makes way for the younger players that have been waiting. its not like he can reach much further in his cricket
@inside Penville, How old is Fernix Thomas and can you please tell us why he is not on the team because if my memory serves me right he must be younger that the majority of players on this team.
Fernix needs to give room for other ppl
give the reasons for Vincent Lewis not being on the team
Good luck my dear friends.
It would have been nice if we were give the entire team.
Will someone please tell me what has happened to Jean Paul.
Jean Paul have no passion for cricket anymore and it has been a few years now
Thank you. I always wondered what happened to him.
Isn’t he a police officer now?
All the best boys. Please bring the cup home to Dominica.
DNO, I checked 8 names. What are the names of the rest of the team, please?
The Side need more depth.. it has too much young men out there that are well rounded in cricket more names should be called up for training to select a solid side #i’mjustsaying also the coaching staff need a shake up as well
where the depth comin out dere????????
That’s the best picture of the national team?
Play hard and best of fortunes to the team.
Always the same set of players….whether they attend training/trials or not the same people are picked…a matter of fact the team seems to be picked before trials… the rest of the people are just called upon as bowick to come and bat and bowl to these ‘picked’ players….there are so many talented and ambitious cricketers in Dominica, give them man a chance…Anyways all the best guys!!
So so so so true and it has been so for the last decade plus….Dats y many talented players stop caring bout the game
Good luck guys!!
