BRIDGETOWN, Barbados (CMC) — Test batsman Kraigg Brathwaite has been recalled to the Barbados Pride squad as one of three changes for their eighth- round clash against tournament leaders Guyana Jaguars starting here today.

The 24-year-old right-hander has been joined by all-rounder Kenroy Williams and fast bowler Keon Harding in the 13-man squad announced by selectors.

They replace the injured Kemar Roach, batsman Omar Phillips and West Indies left-hander Jonathan Carter, who has joined up with the regional side to prepare for the upcoming Twenty20 series against Pakistan starting Sunday.

Brathwaite, who assumes the captaincy from all-rounder Kevin Stoute, missed the last two rounds of the competition after playing for West Indies in the three-match one-Day series against England recently.

He will strengthen the Pride unit who have won their last two games on the trot but now face two-time defending champions Jaguars.

Pride lie second in the standings on 87.4 points, behind Jaguars on 103.2, and will need a victory in order to close the gap and blow the title race open for the last two rounds of the tournament.

Jaguars will also enter the contest on a two-match winning streak.

The game will break for Sunday’s T20 against Pakistan at Kensington Oval and resume the following day.

SQUAD — Kraigg Brathwaite (captain), Anthony Alleyne, Shamarh Brooks, Roston Chase, Miguel Cummins, Shane Dowrich, Justin Greaves, Keon Harding, Shai Hope, Ashley Nurse, Kevin Stoute, Jomel Warrican, Kenroy Williams.
