Five-time defending champions Guyana Jaguars will welcome the table leaders, Barbados Pride to their home fortress at the Guyana National Stadium, Providence for the “match of the season”.

This day-night match is scheduled for today, Thursday, March 12 to Sunday, March 15 from 14:00h. Jaguars will have the services of West Indies trio Shimron Hetmyer, Keemo Paul, and Romario Shepherd.

The trio have replaced Tevin Imlach, Keon Joseph, and Nial Smith in the 13-man squad that was announced on Wednesday morning. On the eve of the clash, Jaguars Head Coach Esuan Crandon noted that this top-of-the-table match is very crucial for the Jaguars.

“This obviously is more crucial than the others; in Barbados, they had the upper hand against us and obviously we are looking to turn the table. They have a good team on paper; we had a team meeting to discuss our plans, and it is just a matter of us executing our plans and do the right things for an extended period and control the game in our conditions,” Crandon stated. With the top trio returning in the form of Hetmyer, Paul, and Shepherd, Crandon believes that they will bring a lot to the table.

“From a bowling perspective, we know what Paul and Shepherd have to offer. We are expecting more consistency from Hetmyer’s perspective, we know what he is capable of with the bat. Those guys are a big boost to the team and we always welcome them when they are in Guyana to give back something for the Jaguars,” Crandon disclosed.
