Worcestershire plays host to West Indies A
New Road plays host to West Indies A on Sunday 30th July.
Sylvester Joseph will lead the visitors in the fifty over game, which starts at 10.45am.
Four Worcestershire players who took part in the England A tour earlier in the year – Vikram Solanki, Gareth Batty, Kabir Ali and Steve Davies – will be familiar with most of the faces in a strong West Indies A squad, which includes Tino Best, Ryan Hinds and Sewnarine Chattergoon.
St Lucian, Darren Sammy, will no doubt be pleased to receive an extra welcome from his home country’s Tourist Board, who will be on hand to offer spectators a real taste of the Caribbean!
The crowd will be entertained during the interval by a steel band, whilst rum punch and traditional cuisine will be on offer. We are hoping to inject the real spirit of the West Indies into the day’s cricket and one lucky winner will be presented on the day with a Caribbean speciality hamper by a member of the Tourist Board!
