Trinbago Leatherbacks in Golden Oldies World Cricket Festival

Golden Oldies cricket, which started in 1984 in Auckland, New Zealand, is built around the spirit of fun, friendship and fraternity.

Over the years a number of ex-Test players have featured for various teams in this well established event that has previously been staged in New Zealand, Australia, England, Sri Lanka and Canada.

About 50 teams will be gathering in Barbados for this world event, coming from Australia, New Zealand, England, South Africa and Canada and Trinidad and Tobago.

The Leatherbacks outfit will travel with a party of 23 including former West Indies and Trinidad and Tobago player Brenda Solozano, the lone female player in the squad.

The Leatherbacks recently hosted the Occidental Cricketers of Australia in a pre-tournament game at the Brian Lara Cricket Academy at Tarouba.

The full touring party includes Larry Sooklalsingh, Angela Sooklalsingh, Suresh Lallan, Patricia Mahabir, Brenda Solozano, Bobby Solozano, Gangadayne Jaglal, Deal Ali, Nizam Khan, Baldath Mahabir, Rumona Mahabir, Hafiz Mohammed, Sherry Mohammed, RJB Singh, Fazad Khan, Balkaran Ramkissoon, Davanand Roopnarine, Pramesh Scheult, Ramesh Pamsumair, Shawn Francis, Phagoo Soomai, Kalaparsad Sanise and Vasant Rambarran.
