Test recall still possible for Sunil Ambris

Despite not playing a test match for the last five years, Vincentian top order batter, Sunil Ambris is still in the mix for a recall.

Ambris has been included in the Headley-Weekes tri-series that features the leading performers in the 2023 West Indies Championship and those deemed to be on the fringe of the Test team.
Ambris during the 2023 West Indies championships, scored 363 runs, to be fifth on the list of top batters. He had three half centuries.

The 30 -year-old Ambris’ efforts earned him a place in the Headley team, which will be captained by current test wicket keeper, Joshua Da Silva.

At the test level, Ambris has played six times, spanning 2017 to 2018, while his ODI tally shows him appearing in 16 matches, amassing 473 runs with a highest score of 148.

He will thus have to show his worth during the tri-series set for April 19 to May 6, at the Coolidge Cricket Ground (CCG), in Antigua.

Match one is from April 19 to 22, and will feature Team Headley versus West Indies Academy, with match two taking place from April 26 to 29, between Team Weekes and the West Indies Academy.
Team Headley reads: Joshua Da Silva (captain), Sunil Ambris, Darren Bravo, Justin Greaves, Kavem Hodge, Chaim Holder, Akeem Jordan, Marquino Mindley, Shayne Moseley, Gudakesh Motie, Anderson Phillip, Kieran Powell, and Tevyn Walcott.

Team Weekes comprises: Alick Athanaze (captain), Tagenarine Chanderpaul, Keacy Carty, Dominic Drakes, Jahmar Hamilton, Brandon King, Jair McAllister, Zachary McCaskie, Veerasammy Permaul, Raymon Reifer, Kevin Sinclair, Nial Smith and Devon Thomas.

And, the West Indies Academy is made up of: Kevlon Anderson, Ackeem Auguste, Joshua Bishop, Teddy Bishop, McKenny Clarke, Rivaldo Clarke, Joshua James, Johann Layne, Kirk McKenzie, Ashmead Nedd, Kelvin Pitman, Keagan Simmons, Ramon Simmonds, Kevin Wickham and Nyeem Young.
