Alex Adams and Omari Banks Leewards bound

Anguillian star cricketers Alex Adams and Omari Banks have been named to a 19-man squad, which is to begin training for the upcoming 2000 Red Stripe Bowl. The Leewards, who are hoping to regain some of that prolific form of last year as they battled their way to the finals of both the Busta Cup and the Red Stripe Bowl only to be defeated by the mighty Jamaican side in both matches, will be involved in a mini-camp in St. Kitts from the 30th of September to the 8th of October.

Both Adams and Banks have had brilliantly successful years thus far as they both have scored prolifically and bowled with success. Adams, in particular, during the Leeward Islands Tournament and Banks both in England and Guyana with Leicestershire C.C.C. and the Leeward Islands under 19 Team respectively, where he went on to be selected for the West Indies Under 19 Team.

West Indies young guns, Sylvester Joseph and Kerry Jeremy have not been included in the Leewards squad, as they will be representing the West Indies in the upcoming one-day Tournament to be held in Nairobi, Kenya.

Full squad reads:- Stuart Williams, Carl Tuckett, Keith Arthurton, Runako Morton, John Maynard, (Nevis) Alex Adams, Omari Banks (Anguilla), Ridley Jacobs, Goldwyn Prince, Anthony Lake, Wilden Cornwall, Dave Joseph, Ricky Christopher (Antigua), Colin Cannonier, Junie Mitchum, Jason Saddler, Sheldon Jeffers (St. Kitts), Devon Williams and Tyrone Greenaway (Montserrat). Please note that a captain will not be selected until the Leeward Islands Board Meeting on the 30th of September.
