PORT-OF-SPAIN, Trinidad, CMC-Trinidad and Tobago have recalled opening batsman Justin Guillen for their Regional Super 50 semi-final against Combined Campuses and Colleges at Kensington oval, Barbados next Thursday.
The left handed batsman has been included along with Queen’s Park cricket club teammate Akeal Hosein and aggressive wicketkeeper-batsman Nicholas Pooran at the expense of all-rounder Yannic Cariah, pacer Teshawn Castro and middle-order batsman Kjorn Ottley.
