Young bats­man Yan­nic Car­ri­ah is out for the third round WICB Pro­fes­sion­al Crick­et League (PCL) against Ja­maica, start­ing at the Queen's Park Oval on Fri­day.Skip­per Rayad Em­rit re­vealed yes­ter­day that the left han­der would not re­cov­er from a frac­tured toe in time to take his place in the squad. Car­ri­ah was struck dur­ing the last round win against the Lee­wards at Warn­er Park, St Kitts.Chair­man of the na­tion­al se­lec­tion pan­el Alec Burns said the se­lec­tors will meet to­day to fi­nalise the team. In ad­di­tion to Car­ri­ah, De­nesh Ramdin is off on West In­dies du­ties and will take no part. Burns hint­ed that Steven Kat­wa­roo will be com­ing in, al­though Nico­las Pooran who is in the squad kept wick­et in the last game.

The Red Force is now sec­ond in the stand­ings on 20 points, 14 be­hind lead­ers Guyana. T&T came from be­hind to se­cure a six-wick­et vic­to­ry over the Lee­wards in their last game. Af­ter bundling out the home team for 202, the Red Force fell for 130. All­rounder Im­ran Khan then grabbed 6/13 to end with ten wick­ets in the match, to rout the Lee­wards for 130 in their sec­ond es­say. T&T won by six wick­ets with Yan­nik Ot­t­ley hit­ting an un­beat­en 76.Em­rit said he had to re­mind the young play­ers in the Lee­wards game that they were play­ing at a tough lev­el. "Af­ter mak­ing 130 runs in our first in­nings, I told them that we were not play­ing un­der-19 crick­et. They had to step up and bring it to the lev­el they were play­ing. I was glad to see the im­prove­ment and this led us to vic­to­ry."

Em­rit said he was not sur­prised by Ot­t­ley's ma­tu­ri­ty: "I know his abil­i­ty and I ap­plaud him."Em­rit said T&T needs to keep im­prov­ing. "This is the on­ly way we would be able to chal­lenge for the ti­tle. We won against the Lee­wards and this would give us con­fi­dence in the oth­er match­es, es­pe­cial­ly against Ja­maica on Fri­day. We got the bet­ter of the Ja­maicans ear­li­er this year when we played them at home and we are look­ing for a re­peat."
