Windward Islands look to improve at CWI U-19

The Windward Islands Under-19 team will be looking for an improved effort, when the 2018 Cricket West Indies tournament opens this Friday, here in St Vincent and the Grenadines.

 Windwards will open their campaign in the three-day format versus Trinidad and Tobago, August 3 -5, at Park Hill, then face off against Jamaica, August 7-9 at Arnos Vale One.

 Then from August 11-13, the Windwards will engage the Leewards at Sion Hill.

 Barbados and Guyana are the other competing units.

 Canada will join the six regional teams in the one-day format, which would be played on a round robin basis.

 The Windwards management team is made up of Randel Baptiste – manager and Sam Cirnan – Coach.
