AS PART of their preparations for this year’s inaugural West Indies Cricket Board/NAGICO Super50 tournament in Trinidad and Tobago, the Christopher Barnwell-led National XI will be engaging a Rest XI in several practice encounters.
To date, two of those matches were played, with the National XI coming out victorious on both occasions, while the third fixture which was scheduled for the Georgetown Cricket Club ground last Friday, was abandoned without a ball being bowled, due to a soggy outfield.
Match number four on the cards will take place today at the Guyana National Stadium, Providence as a day/night fixture, with the first ball being bowled at 13:30hrs.
The Guyana Cricket Board (GCB) in their attempt to ensure the National team is adequately prepared for this tournament as well as the Regional four-day tournament, bit the bullet by having a number of players undergo an encampment period from December 28 last.
