Guyanese Sinclair, Nedd included in WI Emerging Players squad for Regional Super 50
Guyanese Kevin Sinclair and Ashmead Nedd have been included in the West Indies Emerging Players squad for the Colonial Medical Insurance Super50 Cup which is set to commence on November 6 in Trinidad and Tobago and St. Kitts.

Apart from Nedd, the squad also includes three other West Indies Under-19 players who are preparing for the ICC U19 CWC in 2020; Kimani Melius of St. Lucia along with the T&T duo of left-handed wicketkeeper/batsman Leonardo Julian and pacer, Jayden Seales.
The squad will be led by Yannic Cariah of Trinidad and Tobago while talented Guyanese U19 Kevlon Anderson, who was among the leading batsmen in the recently concluded Jaguars Franchise League here, can consider himself unlucky not to be selected.
Chairman of the West Indies Senior Men’s Selection Panel, Roger Harper said “Yannic Cariah is recommended as captain because his experience better positions him to lead and help guide this young team while Kimani Melius is recommended as vice-captain for succession planning purposes. He is the West Indies U-19 captain and the intention for the exposure is to give him a greater opportunity for learning and growth.”

development and learning opportunities for players that have featured in the CWI High Performance Pathway in recent times.
“A young player may miss out on selection at their franchise if they are up against two or three internationals with similar skill-sets,” said CWI director of cricket, Jimmy Adams.
“The Emerging Players squad aims to provide the platform for these players to perform and reward the hard work they have been putting in following their stints at the West Indies High Performance Centre.”
The West Indies Emerging Players squad has been pooled with last year’s losing finalists Guyana Jaguars, as well as hosts and 11-time champions Trinidad & Tobago Red Force, recent winners Windward Islands Volcanoes and the United States for Group ‘B’ matches which will be played at the Queen’s Park Oval and Brian Lara Cricket Academy in Trinidad.
Reifer said his main goal will be to ensure the players in the squad show improvement in their understanding of the game, as individuals and as a single unit.
Squad – Yannic Cariah (Captain), Kimani Melius (Vice-Captain), Camarie Boyce, Roland Cato, Joshua Da Silva, Dominic Drakes, Justin Greaves, Keon Harding, Leonardo Julian, Jermaine Levy, Ashmead Nedd, Gidron Pope, Jayden Seales and Kevin Sinclair.
Team Management Unit – Floyd Reifer (Head Coach), Kenny Benjamin (Assistant Coach), Dr. Oba Gulston (Physiotherapist), Gregory Seale (Strength & Conditioning Coordinator) and Dinesh Mahabir (Analyst).
