Jamaican all-rounder, Andre Creary is the only survivor from the 2008 squad named in a 12-man unit to represent West Indies Under-19s at the upcoming President’s Cup and 2010 Youth World Cup in New Zealand.
The squad will use their appearance at the October 28 to November 5 President’s Cup in Guyana as vital preparation for the 2010 Under 19 World Cup early next year.
A provisional 20-member squad had been selected in Jamaica at the end of this year’s TCL Group Windies Under 19 Cricket Challenge.
Creary is one of four players from Jamaica included in the squad. The other players are Jermaine Blackwood, John Campbell and Akeem Dewar.
Prolific Barbadian, 16-year-old Kraigg Brathwaite, who stroked a double century in the Barbados Division One Championship last week, is one of the key batsmen in the squad.
Trinidad & Tobago’s impressive batting trio of Yannick Cariah, Evin Lewis and Yannick Ottley have also been included.
Guyanese batting star Trevon Griffith, the Leeward Islands’ captain Kejel Tyson and the Windwards’ all-rounder Dalton Polius complete the squad.
