Imlach, Anderson, Savory and Alimohamed selected for West Indies ‘A’ duties

Guyana Harpy Eagles quintet of Tevin Imlach, Kemol Savory, Kevlon Anderson, Shamar Joseph, and Ronaldo Alimohamed have been selected for West Indies ‘A’ duties against South Africa ‘A’ later this month in St. Lucia.

Imlach will captain the first Four-Day match and serve as vice-captain to John Campbell for the second.

All-rounder Alimohamed is also in the red-ball squad, while Anderson and Savory are included in the Four-Day and 50-over squads.

Additionally, fast-bowler Shamar Joseph, who is in Ireland for the white-ball series, has been included for the second Four-Day match.

On Monday, Cricket West Indies (CWI) announced the squads for the 50-over and “A” Team Test matches.

The series is scheduled from May 21 to June 11 at the Daren Sammy Cricket Ground in Saint Lucia.

CWI Director of Cricket, Miles Bascombe, highlighted the series’ importance in developing player depth.

“This series gives us the opportunity to broaden our player pool and aligns with our long-term strategic plan to support the growth of emerging and fringe players who are on the cusp of advancing to the senior team,” Bascombe said.

Alick Athanaze will captain the 50-over squad, while Tevin Imlach and Jomel Warrican will each captain one of the two “A” Team Test squads.

Andre Coley has been named Head Coach for the series.

The West Indies “A” vs South Africa “A” series precedes the “Full Ah Energy” West Indies Home Series, which begins on June 11 at the 3Ws Oval in Barbados, where the West Indies Women take on South Africa.

Admission to all “A” team matches is free.
