The Trinidad and To­ba­go se­nior crick­et team will be head­ing to Guyana for two warm-up match­es ahead of their trip to In­dia for the Cham­pi­ons League, which gets go­ing on Oc­to­ber 4. Man­ag­er of the na­tion­al crick­et team Col­in Bor­de said the team was in­vit­ed to Guyana and it is a good op­por­tu­ni­ty for the guys to gel to­geth­er and get some crick­et un­der their belts. "The weath­er has not been good in Trinidad and we are lucky to get this op­por­tu­ni­ty to go across to Guyana and play some crick­et. We are go­ing there on Fri­day and will play a Guyana XI in two Twen­ty/20 match­es on Fri­day night and Sat­ur­day night at the Prov­i­dence Sta­di­um.

Strate­gi­cal­ly it is good for us be­cause Guyana is just one hour away and we are get­ting the op­por­tu­ni­ty to play un­der lights at the Prov­i­dence Sta­di­um." The match is be­ing or­gan­ised by West In­dies bats­men Dwayne Bra­vo and Ramnaresh Sar­wan. Bor­de added: "This op­por­tu­ni­ty gives our play­ers the chance to gel to­geth­er. We come back to Trinidad on Sun­day and we have one week's prepa­ra­tion again be­fore leav­ing the next Sun­day for In­dia."
