Mohammed, Lewis back in Red Force squad
The game will bowl off tomorrow and run until Monday.
Both the Red Force and the Jaguars were in winners’ row last week, with the Red Force hammering the Windward Islands Volcanoes by 172 runs at the National Stadium, St George’s, Grenada while the Jaguars brushed aside the Jamaica Scorpions by seven wickets at Sabina Park, Kingston, Jamaica.
The Red Force selection panel included Mohammed and Lewis, who were both involved in the West Indies team who suffered a 3-0 One Day International Series whitewash against England last week, at the expense of opening batsman Jeremy Solozano and all-rounder Jyd Goolie.
Solozano scored two and three against the Volcanoes last week while Goolie was not selected in the final XI.
Lewis is yet to play a game in the 2016-2017 Four Day Tournament while Mohammed, in three games, have amassed 213 runs at an average of 53.25.
According to a media release on the TT Cricket Board (TT CB) website, Mohammed was quoted as saying, “I am delighted to be playing for the Trinidad and Tobago Red Force once again. Playing against the Guyana will be a tough proposition because they are the defending champions and I am quite eager for the challenge.
“I had a solid series with the bat against England and I am looking forward to building on that form.
It is my aim to extend this run of form against Guyana and continue to flourish with the bat. Hopefully I can play an instrumental role in ensuring the Red Force post strong totals against the Jaguars which will increase our chances of getting a win.” Points Standings - 1. Guyana Jaguars 84.8; 2. Jamaica Scorpions 73; 3. Barbados Pride 68; 4. Trinidad and Tobago Red Force 53.6; 5.
Windward Islands Volcanoes 47.2; 6. Leeward Islands Hurricanes 44
