I don't think there has been any regional cricket played at Sabina since 2019 and the last i heard, Trelawny Stadium is almost dilapidated.

Yeah, shame what happened to the Trelawny multipurpose stadium/facility.
On the topic of run down cricket grounds, recently read about the Antigua Recreation Ground on CI, it's grim what it is now.
And then there is the majestic Bourda Cricket Ground...
I remember the ARG being used for a rescheduled test and I think it was KP getting done by an ankle cutter due to the pitch lining.

On the topic of playing two left-arm spinners in the same team,
Hosein said when two left-arm batsmen open the batting for a team or two right-handers it is not scrutinised as much. "I think it's foolish. I think once guys are performing well and they are performing their role then they deserve to be in a team...this picture is only being painted with left-arm spinners, that it's a rivalry. It's been plastered a lot between me and him, but there is no bad blood."
Hosein and Motie often share ideas. "We have been back and forth on the field. We would run across the field just to give a piece of advice before whoever takes up the ball to bowl...we hide nothing from each other. Whatever we have to do as players to make sure that our unit goes forward and that we are successful. At the end of the day I think we are doing it."

Akeal Hosein: Enough room for two left-arm spinners in Windies squad - Trinidad and Tobago Newsday
AKEAL Hosein believes there is room for two left-arm spinners in the same West Indies squad, saying Gudakesh Motie and himself can play alongside each other. He is disappointed that some think they can't feature in the same starting XI in a West Indies team. In cricket, captains often prefer...

Another talented young Berbician among the runs...shows why my home county is a production line of quality cricketers to represent Guyana and the West Indies.
This one in particular is named Hetmyer, scored his third double century in Under-15 cricket and his second during the last week.
His last three innings were: 260, 168 and 277.
Hetmyer’s 277 was the highest ever in Under-15 cricket in Berbice. He slammed 41 fours and four sixes.
His majestic innings of 277 came against Tucber Park B, while his 168 a few days earlier came against Tucber Park A at Rose Hall Canje.
Adrian Hetmyer is the son of Seon Hetmyer (who was my team-mate in under-15 days) and nephew of Shimron Hetmyer.

The West Indies putting their T20 competition ahead of their Test team to tour Australia is disheartening ... just as is South Africa's policy regarding a Test series in New Zealand. These two cricketing bodies are sounding the death knell of Tests.

This is not our board prioritising T20, it's the players themselves choosing franchise tournaments to practice T20 ahead of tests. I don't like it either but in this case won't blame the CWI.
Something needs to be done about tests, they have become too expensive for teams like us to host. That test fund is needed pronto.

Reminisced with a few of my friends and close family members on Old Year's night, we talked about the early 00s when there used to be FC and 50-over cricket played at our home ground. It was such festive atmosphere, as meals would be cooked early in the morning in anticipation of getting to the ground before 9:30AM.
Gone are those days.
Busta Cup, Red Stripe Cup, Carib Beer 4-day...
Later on, I was part of the crew that worked on the manual scoreboard.
The way that our cricket has d(evolved) is fascinating to see.

Are they actually going to play any matches in Jamaica? Wouldn't surprise me if they end up playing all away games.
Possibly, some of the venues will need to be prepared for the T/20 WC.
With Jamaica not hosting, they may get a couple of rounds of the 4 day tournament instead.

14-year-old Adrian Hetmyer selected for defending champs' Guyana Harpy Eagles practice matches.
Good to see that he is getting a push. I remember Sarwan debuting in FC at 15, Leon Johnson also. Permaul was 16 or 17, I believe.
Among those players is the prodigious 14-year-old left-handed batsman Adrian Hetmyer, nephew of Guyana and West Indies player Shimron Hetmyer.
The youngster’s three most recent innings for his club, Rose Hall Canje Arborsmart, have been a record 277, 168, and 260.

What happened to Chemar holder and Ray Jordan ?
Beamer
International Vice-Captain
Ray Jordan had a dodgy action and when it was fixed he was around 10kph slower and less effective.
Chemar is constantly injured
. He is slowly coming back and was able to play some 50 over matches a few months ago. I hope he can get some game time in the upcoming 4 day season.

That’s a pity. They seemed to have real fast bowling talent in the u19 sides over the years that haven’t been able to make the transition.Ray Jordan had a dodgy action and when it was fixed he was around 10kph slower and less effective.
Chemar is constantly injured
ronsford Beaton, Jerome jones and Delorn Jeohnson three that spring to mind. Beaton terrified the Australia u19 bats when they faced him and Delorn destroyed an India A side that had Rohit and Pujara.

Chemar has such a sechhsy action. Absolutely looks like he should be able to take 300 Test wickets @ 25. @GoodAreasShane also a big fan IIRC. The reality of what he sends down and how his body copes with it seems to be sadly quite different though.Ray Jordan had a dodgy action and when it was fixed he was around 10kph slower and less effective.
