Barbados Cricket Association article.
Bridgetown, Barbados - Four current West Indies Test players have been listed to play in the opening series of the 2015 BCA Sagicor General Twenty20 Championship on Saturday, May 16.
Last year's losing finalists CounterPoint Wanderers lead the way with opening batsman Kraigg Brathwaite and fast bowling all-rounder Jason Holder on show against CGI Maple at Trents.
The 22-year-old Brathwaite is the West Indies Test vice-captain, while Holder is the One-Day International skipper, having been appointed as the youngest ever West Indies captain at the age of 23 for the series against South Africa in South Africa late last year.
Pacer Kemar Roach will be turning out for Maple, the only team to have won the title twice since the Tournament started in 2008.
And elegant batsman Shai Hope, 21, who made his debut in the recent third and final Test against England at Kensington Oval, is in the ESA Field Pickwick team to oppose Police at Foursquare Oval.
Hope, who also keeps wicket, amassed the most runs (346) at an average of 69.20 in last season's Championship.
Fast bowling all-rounder Carlos Brathwaite, who was in the West Indies squad for the entire three-Test series against England but did not play, is back with his old team Massy United Wildey (formerly Banks and Banks Wildey) after three seasons with Sagicor Life UWI.
