Paul-Andre Walker, Staff ReporterJeffrey Dujon and Carlton Baugh Jr., as former West Indies wicketkeepers, will be helping to keep tabs on the integrity of their alma mater's cricket history when they join a band of old boys' in a Twenty/20 cricket competition at Wolmer's Boys' School today.
Dubbed the Wolmer's Twenty20 Cricket Festival, Baugh and Dujon are expected to lend valuable experience to an upcoming crop of young cricketers, which is part of an ongoing process by the oldest High school in the region to rejuvenate its sports programme. To add some young talent to the bunch, players still in the prime of their careers will also join the old boys with Donovan Pagon joining the eleven.
"We want to put on a treat for the cricketing public showing Twenty/20 cricket at its finest," said Khalil Stephenson, one of the organisers of the event.
He added: "We want all the former players and students to get behind their oldschool and help to develop not just sports, but well-rounded individuals. This is not something just for Wolmer's though, Kingston College and St. George's also do this sort of thing and the hope is other schools will follow and help to build a better Jamaica."
