The tour includes matches in the T20, 40 and 50 overs formats. This is the 14th international tour for the OCA and sixth to Sri Lanka since 2010.
The team includes three players who represented Canada U-19 team in the recently concluded Youth World Cup in the Caribbean.

He added that the recent exposure gained at the national Senior Trials has given him a different view of the game and appreciates what it takes to reach to the highest level. He also thanked OCA coach Tribhawan Jagessar, formerly of East Canje, Berbice who now lives in Canada, for his recommendation.
The presentation was done by Yuraj Khemraj, President of LBI Cricket Club in the presence of the team.
He said that LBI CC will always support their players and observed the improved level of Beharry’s maturity, intense training and commitment to the game. Khemraj wished Beharry a safe trip with good and consistent performances. (Sean Devers)
