Hope named Red Force captain

The Barbados-born Hope replaces Yannick Ottley, who was dropped from the squad on the basis of his horrid run of form this season, having scored only 92 runs in eight innings, at an average of 11.50. Hope, on the other hand, have amassed 410 runs in nine innings at 51.25.

Denesh Ramdin, who led the Red Force to the semi-final stage at the Regional Super50 competition, was unavailable for the rest of the season due to family commitments, according to a media release issued by the Trinidad and Tobago Cricket Board (TTCB).

Another person who was ruled out of contention was Barbados-born all-rounder Roshon Primus, who is recovering from an undisclosed injury.

All-rounder Anderson Phillip, off-spinner Bryan Charles and left-arm spinner Khary Pierre were included in the Four Day squad for the first time this season, while opener Jeremy Solozano and all-rounder Jyd Goolie were recalled.

Trinidad and Tobago Red Force squad: Kyle Hope (captain), Isaiah Rajah, Jeremy Solozano, Jyd Goolie, Nicholas Alexis, Anderson Phillip, Steven Katwaroo, Imran Khan, Yannick Cariah, Khary Pierre, Bryan Charles, Sheldon Cottrell, Marlon Richards.
