TALENTED: Isaiah Rajah

THE very talented Hillview College cricketer Isaiah Rajah along with some of his East Zone Under-13 companions were among the 14-member Trinidad and Tobago Under-13 squad selected to take part in the Regional Festival Under-13 tournament in St Kitts.

The tournament takes place from August 20 to September 1 and the tour is organised by the Trinidad and Tobago Cricket Board as part of their continuing strategy to develop the young cricketers of the country.

The squad, captained by South East Zone's Chris Mohammed includes three other players from that Zone in Trevon James, Adrian Cooper and Ranjiv Maraj, while East Zone's Anthony Simmons, Stephan Wharwood and Vikesh Mohan were also included in the squad.

It is a great achievement for both zones to have so many of their players on the national squad, but the East Zone will be particularly proud of this achievement because they have recently been re-incorporated in into the T&T Cricket Board's InterZone competition.

TTCB General Secretary Forbes Persaud said: "There has always been an abundance of talent in the East Zone such as Larry Gomes, Lendl Simmons and Kieron Pollard and this shows that there is still talent waiting to be unearthed."

The East and South East were joint winners of the BG T&T Under-13 Zonal tournament and the East were also the runners up to North in the Under-19 competition while the South East Zone won the Under-17 competition.

"Both Zones have a lot to offer and with the re-incorporated East Zone, the younger players will get an opportunity to play for clubs in their area and it will all auger well for the development of cricket," Persaud said.

The Under-13s leave on August 20.

T&T Under-13 Team:

Stephan Wharwood, Kazeen Mohammed, Adrian Cooper, Isaiah Rajah, Addrien Daniel, Trevon James, Anthony Simmons, Chris Mohammed, Vikesh Mohan, Marcus Pollard, Ranjiv Maraj, Curtly Francis, Nyron Motilal, Antonio Alleyne.

Reserves: Akeem Hyndman, Keshav Bahadursingh

Manager: John Pollard

Coach: Anthony Ramjit
