The team chosen for the next West Indies Academy trip of Ireland, which is scheduled to take place from June 8 to June 29, 2024, has been revealed by Cricket West Indies (CWI).
Three 50-over games and two four-day matches versus Ireland’s Emerging Men’s Team will make up the five matches on this visit. It denotes a journey that will be reciprocated after Ireland’s November 2023 trip to the West Indies.
We keep up our methodical approach by putting our young players in a variety of situations and opposition across multiple formats. “This is crucial for their growth and cultivates adaptability and resilience,” stated Miles Bascombe, the CWI Director of Cricket.
Nyeem Young will continue as Captain, with Teddy Bishop as Vice-Captain for both formats.
“Nyeem’s leadership qualities have been evident throughout his tenure, notably steering the Academy team during the Super50 and West Indies Championship campaigns. His continued captaincy is a testament to his exceptional leadership skills and contribution to the team,” noted Graeme West, CWI’s High-Performance Manager in reference to Young.
Regarding Bishop’s selection as Vice-Captain, West highlights, “Teddy Bishop’s elevation to Vice Captaincy underscores his growing stature within the team. His adept handling of leadership responsibilities during Young’s absence and his invaluable experience with the West Indies A Team and Senior Teams make him an ideal choice for the role.”
