Guyana will face the Leeward Islands at the Melbourne Club ground in Kingston Jamaica in one of three opening matches in this year’s Regional under-15 cricket tournament from July 22 in Jamaica.
The Guyana pacers especially should be inspired by the Melbourne ground, where the likes of legendary West Indies fast bowlers Michael Holding and Courtney Walsh played in their formative years.
Also in action in the opening round are title holders Trinidad & Tobago who will start their defense against Windward Islands at the Kensington Cricket Club and host Jamaica face Barbados at the Jamaica Defence Force ground at Up Park Camp.
This year, the Regional Under-15 Tournament – in its 19th season – will be contested under a round-robin format, featuring five rounds of 50 overs-a-side matches with the team accumulating the most points being declared champions.
T&T captured the title for the seventh time last year, when it was staged in the south-western Jamaican parish of St. Elizabeth, by topping the points table following victories over Windwards, Leewards, Guyana and the home team. Their only loss came against traditional sporting rivals Barbados.
The two-island republic’s side narrowly edged out the Windwards for the top spot, with Guyana, Barbados, Jamaica and the Leewards following.
