T&T Red Force batsman Jason Mohammed slammed 70 for his team and will jet off today to join the West Indies team in Zimbabwe for the upcoming Tri-nation series.
Mohammed has been called up to replace Darren Bravo who was sent home from Zimbabwe after he tweeted unpleasantries against WICB president Dave Cameron.
His knock enabled his team to record 234 for nine midway through the second session of day two in reply to the Windwards Volcanoes 142 all out in their first innings on the second day of the 2016/17 Digicel PCL at the Queen's Park Oval.
Play got underway at 4 pm, after a rain interruption and Mohammed resumed on the overnight position of 30 not out. He started off the proceedings by striking three boundaries in the first over and this set the tone for his innings.
He raced to his half century and with the support of wicketkeeper/batsman Stephen Katwaroo was able to add 76 runs for the sixth wicket.
Mohammed was finally dismissed for 76 and soon after Katwaroo fell for 30, as Windwards skipper Liam Sebastien dismissed him.
Star with the ball on day one Roshon Primus then showed up with the bat and added valuable runs with the lower order. With the score at 234 for nine, he was battling on 31 not out with last man Sheldon Cottrell on one.
