Travel issues put the brakes on Jamaica's U17 cricket match

The National Under 17 cricketers match against Windward Islands on Tuesday’s opening day the WICB regional competition was postponed until further notice due to travel problems.

The Jamaican team departed the island on Monday and would have played back to back matches Tuesday and Wednesday.

The WICB announced Tuesday morning that the schedule for the tournament had been revised with only two matches to be played on Tuesday’s opening day, Guyana vs Windward Islands at Bon Accord, and Barbados vs Trinidad & Tobago at Louis D’or.    

According to the board, the change was necessary following complications with the travel arrangements for the Jamaica team and the late arrival of luggage for the Leeward Islands team.

A revised schedule of matches will be distributed later.  

Calls to the Jamaica Cricket Association for further explanation, went unanswered.
