Kallicharan gets U-17 call-up - chairman - 05-17-2014
Prolific run-scorer Kirstan Kallicharan’s skills will be tested at the Under-17 level after he was named in the Trinidad and Tobago side for this year’s regional Under-17 championships, which takes place in Tobago from July 6-16.
The T&T side will be led by 16-year-old left-arm orthodox spinner Bryan Boodram, who was part of the national Under-17 and Under-19 teams last year.
The 14-year-old middle order batsman, Kallicharan, dominated his age-group in the local PowerGen Secondary Schools Cricket League this season and also excelled at the BG T&T Under-15 InterZone tournament, slamming three centuries in three matches.

Nice. Let's see what he can do at a higher level of competition. I would have even tried him at U19.

Why do West Indians insist ONI destroying their young talent by pushing them too quickly.
This lad is an U16 player. Leg him develop without all this hype.

His name rings a bell. For those who loved the great West Indian team of the Seventies and Eighties, the name Alvin Issac Kallicharran rekindles memories of a nuggety left-hander, whose stylish batting style and appetite for big runs thrilled the purist. Thirty-four years after the legendary West Indian played his last Test match, another Kallicharan is making cricket headlines in the West Indies. On May 11, Trinidad and Tobago's Under-15 captain Kirstan Kallicharan scored an unbeaten 404 in a 35-over under-14 school match in Port-of-Spain. He came in at No. 3 and in the 10th over. In May last year, he had smashed Brain Lara's high-school record.
