The Trinidad and To­ba­go Crick­et Board (T&TCB) has again en­gaged the ser­vices of for­mer out­stand­ing West In­dies open­ing bats­man Gor­don Greenidge.

The hard-hit­ting Bar­ba­di­an, who has had a long and fruit­ful re­la­tion­ship with the T&TCB, has been as­signed to work with the T&TCB Acad­e­my in­ductees, rep­re­sent­ing the new gen­er­a­tion of young and up­com­ing na­tion­al stars.

One of these ses­sions will com­mence this week­end at the Na­tion­al Crick­et Cen­tre at Bal­main, Cou­va, from 1 pm.

The 61-year-old Greenidge played 108 Tests for the West In­dies and scored 7,558 runs which in­cludes 19 cen­turies with a high­est score of 226 and re­tired with an ex­cel­lent av­er­age of 44.72.

Dur­ing his ca­reer, which spanned from 1974 to 1991, he formed what is still con­sid­ered one of the most de­struc­tive open­ing bat­ting part­ner­ships with fel­low Bar­ba­di­an Desmond Haynes.
