ST GEORGE’S – Sri Lan­ka Women’s cap­tain Chamari Atha­p­aththu starred with bat and ball to guide her side to a four-wick­et vic­to­ry over West In­dies Women in the sec­ond match of their T20 se­ries in Grena­da on Sun­day.

​All four match­es of the T&T Crick­et Board Pre­mier One Di­vi­sion round five pro­duced in­nings wins over the week­end. Pow­er­gen and Queen’s Park Crick­et Club (QPCC), both lead­ing the pack with im­pres­sive form this sea­son, led the way, with KFC Clarke Road Unit­ed and Bess Mo­tors Marchin Pa­tri­ots fol­low­ing suit.

​Noe­mi Theodore of Phoenix, Abi­lene Wild­cats’ Kay­la Charles, and her name­sake Za­da Charles have booked spots in the Carif­ta Track and Field Cham­pi­onships, card­ed for the Ki­rani James Ath­let­ic Sta­di­um in Grena­da, af­ter Sun­day’s fi­nal-day ac­tion of the Na­tion­al As­so­ci­a­tion of Ath­let­ic Ad­min­is­tra­tion of T&T (NAAATT) Carif­ta Games Tri­als at the Hase­ly Craw­ford Sta­di­um in Mu­cu­rapo, Port-of-Spain.

A gen­er­a­tion that ig­nores his­to­ry has no past and no fu­ture, as for­get­ting the strug­gles ren­ders the present dis­placed and the fu­ture un­cer­tain. Worse yet, fail­ing to cap­ture the past amounts to eras­ing his­to­ry. As such, a sport with­out a his­tor­i­cal iden­ti­ty is not on­ly sub­ject­ed to the capri­cious­ness of the present, but al­so its fol­low­ers are ren­dered in­ca­pable of tru­ly valu­ing the gi­ants on whose shoul­ders they stand.

The quar­tet of Chaz Williams, Do­minic Joseph, Josi­ah Kallicha­ran, and Gio­van­ni Hospedales found the net on Mon­day to pro­pel the T&T Un­der-20 foot­ball team to a 4-0 tri­umph over Sint Maarten for their sec­ond win in Group E of the Con­ca­caf Un­der-20 Cham­pi­onships in Cos­ta Ri­ca.

KOLKATA, In­dia – De­spite fail­ing in their bid to reach the semi­fi­nal of the ICC Men’s T20 World Cup, West In­dies cap­tain Shai Hope be­lieves his team per­formed ad­mirably through­out the tour­na­ment and can leave with their heads held high.

Crick­et West In­dies (CWI) pres­i­dent, Dr Kishore Shal­low, has thrown his full weight be­hind Shai Hope and the Men’s T20 squad, de­scrib­ing their ICC Men’s T20 World Cup cam­paign as a piv­otal mo­ment for the resur­gence of Caribbean crick­et de­spite a heart­break­ing con­clu­sion at Eden Gar­dens in In­dia, yes­ter­day.

New­com­ers Blue Na­tion be­came the first team to qual­i­fy for the round of 16 in the East-West Cor­ri­dor Foot­ball League on Thurs­day, de­spite a 2-1 loss to the Mt Pleas­ant Boyz at the Cour­land Recre­ation Ground in Black Rock, To­ba­go.

KOLKATA – Sim­i­lar­ly to when they met in 2016, West In­dies head coach Daren Sam­my knows his side will be the un­der­dogs in In­dia on Sun­day when they take on In­dia in their must-win Su­per Eights con­test at the ICC Men’s T20 World Cup.

Out-of-favour West In­dies open­er Je­re­my Solozano scored a dou­ble hun­dred (his sec­ond hun­dred of the sea­son) as the Pow­er­gen bats­man pound­ed the Vic­to­ria bowlers on day one of the T&T Crick­et Board Pre­mier­ship Di­vi­sion One round five fix­ture in Bar­rack­pore. But it wasn’t the on­ly dou­ble hun­dred of the day; an­oth­er out-of-favour bats­man, Evin Lewis, blast­ed 200 for Bess Mo­tors Marchin Pa­tri­ots against Mer­ry­boys.
