Exemplary record
According to the source, who requested anonymity, consideration was given to Lambert's exemplary record as captain of Jamaica from youth level to the present.
The national selection committee is completed by former chairman Ruddy Williams, coach Junior Bennett and local cricket administrator Ephraim McLeod.
"The selectors and board of directors thought that Lambert, as a captain, has been doing a very good job as a leader and commands the full respect and confidence of the players, and with the championship expected to be a very difficult one he was the person to lead the team," the source explained.
