Champions Jamaica arrived late last night in St Kitts and Nevis without all-rounder Lorenzo Ingram to tackle hosts Leeward Islands in the new-look 2009 West Indies Cricket Board Four-day Regional Tournament.
The 14-man Jamaica squad was reduced to 13 and Ingram was the player axed before the squad left to face the Leeward Islands starting Friday at Warner Park.
The Jamaicans, with Tamar Lambert as captain, will begin two days of practice today at the Edgar Gilbert Sporting Complex in Molineux.
The title-holders are without eight national players currently on West Indies duties in New Zealand, but coach Junior Bennett is pleased with the make-up of his squad.
There are four players – Donovan Pagon, Brenton Parchment, Wavell Hinds and David Bernard – with West Indies senior team experience while West Indies Under-19 players Jason Dawes and Horace Miller, and former national U19 leg-spinner Gavin Wallace are the new faces in the side.
