Chair­man of the lo­cal or­gan­is­ing com­mit­tee in charge of the Nagi­co Su­per50 crick­et tour­na­ment, Az­im Bas­sarath has re­port­ed that every­thing is in place for a great 'crick­et car­ni­val'.The tour­na­ment bowls off to­mor­row with the Wind­ward Is­lands meet­ing Ja­maica at the Queen's Park Oval from 2 pm.The TTCB pres­i­dent praised the West In­dies Crick­et Board for agree­ing to bring the tour­na­ment to the twin-is­land re­pub­lic for the next three years and promised a tremen­dous start."Ku­dos al­so to the mar­ket­ing com­mit­tee of the WICB for the work they have been do­ing. Let me al­so thank the gov­ern­ment and the cor­po­rate world for their sup­port and the board mem­bers of my or­gan­is­ing com­mit­tee for their co-op­er­a­tion and com­mit­ment to du­ty," said Bas­sarath.

He promised that the T&TCB will do all in its pow­er to make the Nagi­co Su­per50 a qual­i­ty event and said their re­sources are ready for mo­bil­i­sa­tion."On the out­side we are calm, but on the in­side we are churn­ing with en­thu­si­asm and ex­cite­ment as we work with the WICB to bring fruition the world's great­est car­ni­val of crick­et for the en­joy­ment of all."He said it is the in­ten­tion of the T&TCB to work with all the rel­e­vant na­tion­al agen­cies to show­case T&T's rich en­er­gy re­sources, its ex­ten­sive in­dus­tri­al in­fra­struc­ture, world class com­mu­ni­ca­tion sys­tems and the amaz­ing in­vestor readi­ness in mul­ti­ple ar­eas.

"We are well on track and the teams are cur­rent­ly ar­riv­ing as we speak. Things are run­ning smooth­ly at the air­port and we are hap­py for all the cor­po­ra­tion we have been re­ceiv­ing.Mem­bers of the or­gan­is­ing com­mit­tee held their fi­nal meet­ing last evening with au­thor­i­ties at the Oval. This in­spec­tion was the fi­nal one be­fore the tour­na­ment gets go­ing.Bas­sarath added that work is go­ing on apace in To­ba­go and an of­fi­cial of the com­mit­tee would fly across on the week­end to en­sure that things are go­ing ac­cord­ing to plan.Shaw Park in To­ba­go will host two match­es in the two-week tour­na­ment.
