The fourth round of the West Indies Cricket Board’s regional four-day championship bowls off tomorrow with reigning champions Jamaica hosting Barbados in a top-of-the-table clash.
The match will take place Kensington Oval.
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.
The top two are followed by Trinidad and Tobago in third, while Combined Campuses and Colleges and Windward Islands are tied for fourth on 12 points.
The remaining matches are Windward Islands tackling Combined Campuses and Colleges at 3Ws Oval in Barbados and Leeward Islands facing Guyana in a bottom-of-the-table clash at Grove Park in Nevis.
T&T will be idle in this round.
