Three months after being axed for Jamaica’s President’s Cup campaign, Tamar Lambert has resurfaced as captain of an 18-man squad announced for next month’s regional four-day championship.
The 28-year-old will take charge of a strong side that includes eight players with Test experience, and which will be defending the title it won earlier this year.
Wavell Hinds, Xavier Marshall, Carlton Baugh, David Bernard Junior, Donovan Pagon, Brenton Parchment, Nikita Miller and Daren Powell have all been included in the squad, which will be whittled down to 14 prior to the start of the tournament on January 8.
The other members of the squad are Shawn Findley, Danza Hyatt, Odean Brown, Bevon Brown, Andrew Richardson, Jason Dawes, Andre Russell, Horace Miller and Andre Dwyer.
As expected, Chris Gayle, Brendan Nash and Jerome Taylor who are duty with the West Indies squad in Australia have not been included.
Fast bowler, Taylor is expected home after suffering a hip injury in the opening Test at the Gabba.
The squad was named following the conclusion of the third four-day trial match on Monday.
