ST. JOHN’S, Antigua – Holders Barbados are expected to face a stiff challenge against Windward Islands at Canaan when the Regional Under-17 Tournament opens on Tuesday in the island of Tobago.
The Barbadians captured the third edition of the Tournament – staged last year in the same island – by topping the points table, following victories over hosts Trinidad & Tobago then Leeward Islands and Jamaica.
Their only loss came against the Windwards, when they stumbled to a five-wicket defeat at Shaw Park, and their other match against Guyana was abandoned without a ball being bowled.
In the other first round matches of this year’s tournament, T&T meet Leewards at Louis D’Or and Guyana tackle Jamaica at Shaw Park.
The Tournament – in its fourth year – will be contested under a round-robin format, featuring five rounds of 50 overs-a-side matches with the team accumulating the most points being declared champions.
