West Indies Cricket Fans

Information reaching THE STAR is that West Indies
captain Chris Gayle has been recommended by the national selection panel to captain Jamaica's team at the upcoming regional West Indies Cricket Board President's Cup one-day tournament, which will be held here October 12-15.

There is still, however, some degree of uncertainty as the Jamaica Cricket Association (JCA) board have yet to ratify the proposal despite the naming of a 23-member training squad.

Gayle, who is one of five specialist openers named in what is a relatively strong squad, was recommended ahead of regular four-day, and recently-appointed Twenty20 captain, Tamar Lambert.

The squad will start training next week following which a series of trial matches will be held.

It will then be cut to 18 after which the captain will be named. The captain will then form part of the selection panel for the final squad of 14 or 16 players for the tournament.

SQUAD: Christopher Gayle, Tamar Lambert, Xavier Marshall, Brenton Parchment, Danza Hyatt, Donovan Pagon, Marlon Samuels, Wavell Hinds, Brendan Nash, Jermaine Blackwood, David Bernard Jr, Donovan Sinclair, Horace Miller, Carlton Baugh Jr, Bevon Brown, Odean Brown, Andrew Richardson, Stephan Patterson, Jason Dawes, Sheldon Cotterell, Andre Russell, Krishmar Santokie and David Powell.
