A 17-man Barbados squad arrived in the island yesterday for their top-of-the-table fourth round clash against reigning champions Jamaica in the regional four-day championships.
The round bowls off tomorrow with Jamaica meeting Barbados at Kensington Oval, Windward Islands tackling Combined Campuses and Colleges at 3Ws Oval in Barbados and Leeward Islands facing Guyana at Grove Park in Nevis.
Trinidad and Tobago will be idle in this round.
Former West Indies Under-19 pacer Barrington Yearwood is one of three new players in the Barbados squad.
Yearwood, batsman Rashidi Boucher and leg-spinner Nekoli Charles have been inserted for the fixture. Their inclusion follows the unavailability of West Indies players Sulieman Benn, Kemar Roach and Dale Richards.
The Jamaicans lead the championships with 30 points, three ahead of second-placed Barbados.
