WICB Regional Girls’ U-19 Invitational T20 Championships
All matches on the opening day of the Regional Girls’ Under-19 Invitational Twenty20 Tournament were yesterday washed out.
However, the tournament organisers, in conjunction with the management of all four teams, have agreed to use the free-day tomorrow (today) to attempt to play the matches that were rained out today.
According to organizing committee member Ann Browne-John condition has improved and it looks like there will be play today. “So far, the weather has improved and it is hoped that it will hold for the balance of the week,” said Ann Browne-John.
The RGU19, which is being staged by the T&T Cricket Board, was made a part of the West Indies Cricket Board (WICB) official calendar earlier this year and is part sponsored by the regional governing body.
Barbados Girls’ Under-19 team, under the captaincy of West Indies Women’s opener Hayley Matthews, will be defending the title which they won in the previous edition of the Tournament two years ago.
The Barbadians face competition from Guyana, Windward Islands and hosts Trinidad & Tobago.
Jamaica and Leeward Islands have indicated that they do not have Under-19 girls’ teams at present, but are actively developing squads in a bid to participate next year.
