Bravo expects good WI U-19 performance

West Indies batsman Darren Bravo has backed West Indies Under-19s to do very well in the upcoming ICC Under-19 World Cup in the United Arab Emirates.

After a week-long camp in at the Sagicor High Performance Centre in Barbados, the young Windies arrived in the United Arab Emirates yesterday morning where they will have another camp at the Emirates Palace Ground in Abu Dhabi.

Bravo, who topped both the batting and bowling averages for the West Indies at the ICC Under-19 World Cup in Malaysia 2008, gave his full support to the class of 2014. Bravo scored 165 runs at an average of 55 and also took three wickets at an average of just seven with his swing bowling as West Indies played most of their matches in Kuala Lumpur.

“It’s an exciting time in anyone’s career to be playing in an Under-19 World Cup. I totally enjoyed my time and I want to urge the West Indies team to pull out all the stops as they try to win the tournament,” Bravo said.

“I was in the nets recently with two of the players – Jeremy Solozano and Nicolas Pooran and they were very focussed (and) ready for the big tournament.”

Is Carl Hooper still at the HPC ?

Good luck to the youngsters .......

Expect a good performance from young Tiger 8)

One of the greatest west indies under 19 team was the one that toured England some time in the seventies captained by Ramkissoon from Trinidad ,
Had 2 of my village boys Vinod and Gopie Beasmoney.
