PORT-OF-SPAIN, Trinidad (CMC):
Kieron Pollard and Dwayne Bravo have given a major boost to regional champions Trinidad & Tobago for their one-off Twenty20 match against the West Indies High Performance Centre on Saturday at Queen's Park Oval.
The two all-rounders are fresh from their stints, playing in the just concluded Indian Premier League.
Bravo was part of the champion Chennai Super Kings outfit, and Pollard helped the Mumbai Indians, which was led by Indian great Sachin Tendulkar, reach the playoffs.
The match is the second of a T20 double-header, and follows the T20 International clash between West Indies and India at the same venue.
Also making a return to competitive cricket is opening batsman Adrian Barath. He has been sidelined with injury since last year and is keen to win back his place on the West Indies team.
T&T will be captained, as usual, by Daren Ganga, and includes West Indies wicketkeeper/batsman Denesh Ramdin and all-rounder Rayad Emrit.
Squad: Daren Ganga (captain), Samuel Badree, Adrian Barath, Dwayne Bravo, Rayad Emrit, Imran Khan, Dave Mohammed, Jason Mohammed, Sunil Narine, Kjorn Ottley, William Perkins, Kieron Pollard and Denesh Ramdin.
