Leaders Guyana Jaguars have made two changes to the team for the final round clash of the West Indies Cricket Board’s Professional Cricket League four day against the Jamaica Scorpions starting tomorrow at the Providence National Stadium.
According to a press release from the Guyana Cricket Board, the national selectors have included West Indies Under-19 World Cup captain, Shimron Hetmyer and off-spinner, Steven Jacobs for the all-important clash as the Guyana Jaguars seek to retain the regional four-day title they won last year.
Hetmeyer replaces veteran batsman Shivnarine Chanderpaul, who is injured while off-spinner Jacobs replaces fast bowler Ronsford Beaton.
