PORT-OF-SPAIN, Trinidad (CMC) — Trinidad and Tobago fast-bowler Ravi Rampaul is preparing for a return to regional cricket after a knee injury kept him out of T&T’s successful Caribbean T20 campaign last month.

Rampaul will line up for the three-time Caribbean T20 champions when they play Canada today and tomorrow in the shortest form of the game.

The 28-year-old pacer is currently not part of the national side playing the visitors in a three-day match at the National Cricket Centre (NCC), Balmain Couva.

However, Rampaul was seen at the venue Monday bowling in the outdoor nets and manager Omar Khan has confirmed that he will be part of the T&T squad to face Canada.

Rampaul, a member of the West Indies team which won the ICC World T20 in Sri Lanka last year, was bought by Indian Premier League outfit Royal Chargers Bangalore for US$290,000 for this year’s edition of the IPL.

T&T face Canada in the two T20s scheduled for Guaracara Park, Pointe-a-Pierre on Wednesday and Thursday night and the 50-over match at NCC on Saturday.
