Test stars to boost 20/20 squad
published: Wednesday | February 13, 2008


Chris Gayle ... back in charge. - File

THE JAMAICA selectors have called on the services of the country's five West Indies players who recently returned from South Africa for their quarter-final round Stanford Twenty/20 showdown with Nevis on Saturday in Antigua.

The five - captain Chris Gayle, Marlon Samuels, Brenton Parchment, Daren Powell and Jerome Taylor - missed Jamaica's opening match against The Bahamas because of the time of their arrival from South Africa.

Gayle, who sustained two injuries in South Africa while playing for the West Indies and returned home prematurely, missed the clash because he did not recover in time.

The inclusion of the Test players means there is no place in the side for stand-in captain Tamar Lambert, who led the team to its first win; fast bowler Jermaine Lawson, Australian-born Brendan Nash, Andre McCarthy and André Russell.

In-form batsman Danza Hyatt, who scored 73 against Bahamas, Shawn Findlay, Carlon Baugh, Xavier Marshall, Nikita Miller, Odean Brown and David Bernard Jr have been retained in the squad set to depart for Antigua tomorrow.

The winners of Saturday's match will advance to the second semi-final on February 23 where they will play the winner of the Antigua-Guyana encounter scheduled for February 17.

Jamaica squad: Chris Gayle (captain), Shawn Findlay, Brenton Parchment, Danza Hyatt, Marlon Samuels, Wavell Hinds, Carlton Baugh Jr, David Bernard Jr, Nikita Miller, Odean Brown, Darren Powell, Jerome Taylor and Xavier Marshall.
