PORT OF SPAIN, Trinidad, CMC – Trinidad & Tobago will leave for Guyana next Friday to play two warm-up matches, as they step up their preparation for next month’s Twenty20 Champions League in India.
T&T will play a Guyana XI in two T20 matches at the National Stadium at Providence on Friday and Saturday night respectively.
National team manager Colin Borde said the trip would be an excellent opportunity for the unit to gel together, as well as have some vital match practice.
“The weather has not been good in Trinidad and we are lucky to get this opportunity to go across to Guyana and play some cricket,” Borde said.
“Strategically it is good for us because Guyana is just one hour away and we are getting the opportunity to play under lights at the Providence Stadium.”
T&T return home on Sunday and will spend another week topping off their preparation before heading to the tournament which starts October 4.
They are scheduled to face India Premier League champions Deccan Chargers and Somerset of England in the preliminary round.
