ST JOHN’S, An­tigua – An­tiguan fast bowler Ish­mael Pe­ters will turn out for the Com­bined Cam­pus­es and Col­leges (CCC) for the fi­nal two rounds of the West In­dies Cham­pi­onship.

The 24-year-old Pe­ters, who plays for CMW New Winthor­pes Li­ons in the An­tigua and Bar­bu­da Crick­et As­so­ci­a­tion’s Two-Day com­pe­ti­tion, has been in im­pres­sive form, tak­ing 26 wick­ets at an av­er­age of 15.5, in­clud­ing a ca­reer-best 5-30 against Bolans Blasters.

Pe­ters said he was de­light­ed that his hard work was be­ing re­ward­ed and ex­plained that he had fo­cused on his fit­ness and be­ing con­sis­tent.

“It’s ex­cit­ing for me as it seems that my work hasn’t gone in vain. I’ve trained very hard for an op­por­tu­ni­ty, and now it’s here. I just hope I’m up to the stan­dard, and I’ll give my best when I get the chance,” Pe­ters said.

“This off-sea­son, I took a se­ri­ous look at my fit­ness and pushed my­self hard­er. That ex­tra work has helped me stay fo­cused, bowl with more ac­cu­ra­cy, and main­tain my in­ten­si­ty for longer spells.”

CCC is set to face the West In­dies Acad­e­my on April 2 and Ja­maica on April 9 at the Sir Frank Wor­rell Memo­r­i­al Ground.
