Courtney Walsh, the former West Indies fast bowler, is in Ireland on October 31 to urge fans to support their country in next year’s World Cup in the Caribbean. Walsh is Jamaica’s official ambassador for the World Cup and will be joined on the trip by Robert Bryan, Jamaica Cricket 2007’s executive director, and David Shields, deputy director of tourism for the Jamaica Tourist Board.
“There is an incredibly strong cricket fan base in Ireland and we are very much looking forward to meeting and personally inviting people to come and party with us in Jamaica,” Shields said in a statement released today.
“We are also gearing up across the entire island to ensure that accommodation at all levels, attractions and transport are ready so we can offer the warmest possible Caribbean welcome to visitors from across the globe.”
