CWI High Performance cricketers sharing and gaining knowledge

Cricket West Indies’ (CWI’s) High Performance Training Camp in Antigua commenced on Monday June 17 and concluded on Sunday June 30.
It saw participation of 16 players drawn from across the Caribbean, chosen with the aim of enhancing their red-ball cricketing skills.

Among those players were four Guyanese: Chanderpaul Hemraj, Sherfane Rutherford, Romario Shepherd and Tagenarine Chanderpaul.
During the past week, those 16 players have been gaining knowledge, but have also been sharing knowledge with kiddy cricketers across Antigua.
CWI continues to invest in the future of its cricketers, and this camp is the second of its kind, following one that was aimed to enhance white-ball cricketing skills. That camp ended on June 12, 2019.

Under the Ricky Skerritt-administration, these camps are ongoing investments in players’ development, and are aimed to fortify the pool of talent available.
