Kraigg Brathwaite will return to the Barbados Pride Squad this Wednesday for the second round of the 2025 Cricket West Indies (CWI) Regional Championship against the West Indies Academy at the historic Kensington Oval.

 

The Pride will hope to bounce back in the regional four-day competition after conceding their opening match on Friday to the defending champion Guyana Harpy Eagles. This in spite of encouraging returns from the likes of Matthew Forde on debut, and strong batting in the first innings on Wednesday.

 

Their hopes of so doing will be bolstered by the addition of another West Indies player, Jomel Warrican. Shaquille Cumberbatch and Jamar Ifill will also be joining the squad for the upcoming series. Cumberbatch, 30, played four matches last season, grabbing 15 wickets in eight innings. Ifill, meanwhile, is a 27-year-old fast bowling all-rounder who played club cricket in England last year.

 

Left out of the squad are Raymon Reifer, who led the squad against Guyana. Also omitted are Chaim Holder, Chemar Holder, and Matthew Jones.

 

First-Class cricket returns to the Oval with a day/night pink-ball fixture. The scheduled playing times for this contest are 1 p.m. to 3 p.m., 3:40 p.m.-5:40 p.m., and 6 p.m.-8 p.m.

 

The Academy squad includes six exciting young Bajan players. In the opening round against the Leeward Islands Hurricanes, the boys endured a 400-run loss in Antigua & Barbuda, despite Barbados’ Joshua Bishop picking up 10 wickets for the Academy.

  • Kraigg Brathwaite (captain)
