Young Bravo gets U-15 call up


DARREN "Sonnyman" Bravo the younger brother of star national batsman Dwayne Bravo is among 23 players called to trials for the national Under-15 cricket team.


The Trinidad and Tobago boys will be in preparation for the regional tournament which bowls off later this year.


Bravo has been a consistent performer over the past two seasons in the youth leagues, and has already represented Trinidad and Tobago in the Under-13 cricket against Barbados.


He will be aiming to make a successful jump into the Under-15 ranks when trials begin.


Another youngster following in his brother’s footstep is Somant Maraj, younger brother of ex-West Indies and Trinidad and Tobago U-15 captain Tishan Maraj.


Somant has been a star performer for South in recent seasons and is one of the players heavily tipped to get into the final team.


South, who have dominated the Under-13 and Under-15 leagues over the past three seasons under the guidance of Baldath Bodoe, were rewarded with seven players in the trial squad, while North East got five.


Both North and Central Zone received three picks, while Tobago got two.


For the past three seasons, Trinidad and Tobago have won the regional Under-15 title, under coach Bachan Boochoon and manager Errol Forbes.

Those called: NORTH EAST — Jeewan Ramroop, Sunil Narine, Anthony Balgobin, Akiel Timothy, Chris Pattia; CENTRAL — Adrian Barath, Miguel Heeraman, Vishan Jagessar; NORTH - Keagan Roy, Kjorn Ottley and Darren Bravo; SOUTH — Javed Mohammed, Anderson Beharry, Somant Maraj, Hardeep Maraj, Visham Ramroop, Vinood Persad, Chris Siewsanker;
