BRIDGETOWN, Bar­ba­dos – T&T Red Force, still with­out a win in the West In­dies Cham­pi­onship, has been lift­ed by the in­clu­sion of Test wick­et­keep­er Joshua Da Sil­va and West In­dies speed­ster An­der­son Phillip, who has re­turned from in­jury, for round four, which bowls off Wednes­day.

Ahead of its clash with Bar­ba­dos Pride, Red Force has made three changes, al­so call­ing up the un­capped Kamil Pooran while drop­ping Je­re­my Solozano, Kea­gan Sim­mons, and Justin Man­ick for their match-up.

Pride, mean­while, have suf­fered a late blow with the with­draw­al of Test cap­tain Kraigg Brath­waite.

He was ini­tial­ly named in the squad to face Red Force at Queen’s Park Oval in St Clair, Port-of-Spain but has since been re­placed by un­capped 20-year-old left-han­der Rashawn Wor­rell.

Still, Pride will wel­come the re­turn of fast bowler Akeem Jor­dan and West In­dies left-arm spin­ner Jomel War­ri­can.

Jor­dan, Pride’s lead­ing wick­et-tak­er, was a mem­ber of the Test squad in South Africa but did not fea­ture in ei­ther of the two Tests.

Guyana Harpy Ea­gles have been strength­ened fur­ther for their fourth-round clash with bot­tom-of-the-ta­ble Ja­maica Scor­pi­ons, as they take aim at their first ti­tle in three sea­sons.

The un­beat­en hosts en­ter the penul­ti­mate round on 49 points, a lead of near­ly 12 points over the sec­ond-placed Wind­ward Is­lands Vol­ca­noes, who clash with Lee­ward Is­lands Hur­ri­canes at the Bri­an Lara Crick­et Acad­e­my in Tarou­ba, San Fer­nan­do.

Harpy Ea­gles will be bol­stered by the Test pair of left-han­der Tage­nar­ine Chan­der­paul and left-arm spin­ner Gu­dakesh Motie, both hav­ing re­cent­ly fea­tured for West In­dies on the Test tour of South Africa.

Chan­der­paul, the son of Test leg­end Shiv­nar­ine Chan­der­paul, has been in ex­cel­lent form of re­cent, scor­ing a Test dou­ble hun­dred away to Zim­bab­we.

Motie took 19 wick­ets in that two-Test se­ries and will be a mas­sive ad­di­tion to an al­ready po­tent Harpy Ea­gles at­tack.

Harpy Ea­gles, un­beat­en for the cam­paign, en­ter the con­test against Scor­pi­ons at the Guyana Na­tion­al Sta­di­um high on con­fi­dence es­pe­cial­ly af­ter crush­ing Red Force by 143 runs in the last round.

Win­less Scor­pi­ons, with two de­feats in three out­ings, have al­so re­ceived a boost with the in­clu­sion of Test vice-cap­tain and mar­quee bats­man Jer­maine Black­wood.

Hur­ri­canes lie third on 34.2 points, Pride are fourth on 31.2, with Red Force fifth on 24.8 and Scor­pi­ons last on 15.4 points.
