The Jamaica Scorpions are now in Trinidad as preparations intensify for the start of the Regional Super50 Cup, which bowls off on Wednesday and runs until Saturday, November 29.
This year’s tournament will see matches contested at three venues across the twin-island republic — the Brian Lara Cricket Academy (BLCA), Queen’s Park Oval (QPO) and the Sir Frank Worrell Cricket Ground at UWI SPEC.
Led by head coach Robert Haynes, the Scorpions will open their campaign on Wednesday, November 19, against the Guyana Harpy Eagles at the Queen’s Park Oval. The Jamaicans will then face hosts Trinidad and Tobago Red Force on Friday before turning their attention to the Leeward Islands Hurricanes in a Sunday showdown.
Their penultimate fixture is set for Tuesday, November 25, when they meet Barbados Pride, ahead of their final league match against the Windward Islands on Thursday, November 27.
The 14-man squad features captain Brad Barnes along with Javelle Glen, Marquino Mindley, Kirk McKenzie, Jordan Johnson and former West Indies vice-captain Jermaine Blackwood. Also named are Andre Bailey, Carlos Brown, Khari Campbell, Romaine Morris, Abhijai Mansingh, Jeavor Royal, Tamarie Redwood and Peat Salmon.
The condensed tournament will culminate with the final on Saturday, November 29, at the Brian Lara Cricket Academy.
