The U19s begin their preparation for the 2011 America's U19 Regional Tournament and U19 World Cup Qualifiers by participating in the Sir Garfield Sobers Tournament from July 5 - July 23. The team will play in Group A against Phoenix Academy (Barbados), St. Clair Dacon School (St.Vincent), Xenon Academy (Guyana), Bequia Community High School, Queens Park Club (Trinidad), Dulwich College (UK), BCL (Barbados) and Dominica Combined Schools with the winner of Group A going on to play the winner of Group B.
Arnold Manders, Director of Cricket Development stated,
"This team is a very talented bunch of individuals that are extremely young (average age being just over 15 years of age). They will be relying heavily on the experienced players such as captain Kevon Fubler (18), Deunte Darrell (17), senior national team player Joshua Gilbert (16) and Greg Maybury (16) who will join the team late due, Joshua due to his playing commitments for the National Team in the I-Shield Game v UAE and for Greg who is playing for Oakham College."
Mr. Manders continued, "The team contains an abundance of all-rounders that possess a great amount of ability and the bowling attack contains a great variety of spinners and medium pace bowlers. It is hoped that within the next year that this team will seriously contend for a players at the U19 World Cup in 2012."
