The third-round Busta Cup cricket clash between Jamaica and Trinidad
and Tobago, originally scheduled for the Queens Park Oval in Trinidad,
has been switched to Sabina Park.
According to a press release from the Jamaica Cricket Association
(JCA), the West Indies Cricket Board has requested the game be played
in Jamaica due to the heavy rain that has been affecting the twin
island republic.
The match has also been pushed back a day and will start on Saturday
and end on Tuesday.
"Due to the heavy rain in the Port of Spain area and in the interest
of cricket, the Jamaica Cricket Association has been asked by the
West Indies Cricket Board to host the Trinidad and Tobago vs Jamaica
match originally scheduled for the Queen's Park Oval in Trinidad",
the release stated.
Fast bowler Mervyn Dillon, just back from South Africa, has been
included in Trinidad and Tobago's squad for the encounter.
Squad: Ian Bishop (captain), Leon Romero, Anil Balliram, Denis
Rampersad, Phil Simmons, Richard Smith, Lincoln Roberts, Davis
Williams, Marlon Black, Asif Jan, Mervyn Dillon, Mukesh Persad,
Avidesh Samaroo, Vishal Persad-Maharaj.
