Khan in T&T 14 against Jamaica
January 15th 2009

The T&T cricket selectors have included the 2008 National Cricket League ‘Cricketer of the Year’, Imran Khan, in a 14-man-squad for the second round of the West Indies Cricket Board Four-Day competition against Jamaica.

The match will start on Friday at the Queen’s Park Oval.

Khan has been in good batting form during the last few weeks scoring a match-saving 96 for South in the Pizza Hut/QPCC Gerry Gomez Memorial Cricket Classic against North at the Queen’s Park Oval in December. T&T cricketers under the astute captaincy of Daren Ganga took first innings points in their away game to Barbados, in the opening round of the series, while Jamaica secured full points against the Leeward Islands.

Jamaica will round-off preparations with a net and physical session at the playing venue Thursday.

The local team completed their training on Wednesday at the In-Door facilities at the Oval.

Team:

T&T: Daren Ganga (captain), Adrian Barath, Lendl Simmons, Darren Bravo, Imran Khan, Justin Guillen, Sherwin Ganga, Rayad Emrit, Richard Kelly, Dave Mohammed, Amit Jaggernauth, Atiba Alert, Sunil Narine, Gibran Mohammed.

Manager: Colin Borde. Coach: Kelvin Williams. Trainer: Ronald Rogers.
