Camillo Carimbocas will be aiming to continue his good early form with another good showing this weekend in the T&T Cricket Board’s Premier League when Queen’s Park Cricket Club 1 (QPCC1) comes up against Powergen in a round three match that promises to be an interesting encounter.
The action will unfold at the Queen’s Park Oval in St Clair, Port-of-Spain, starting Saturday at 10 am.
The talented opener has put himself in contention for selection to the Red Force team in the ongoing Regional First-Class tournament, now on a short break. He scored hundreds in the two previous rounds, 117 against QPCC2 and 124 versus Preysal in the opening round.
Round three will see the return of Red Force players, who are home after playing the first two matches in Grenada and Antigua. Red Force skipper Darren Bravo, Terrence Hinds, and opener Jeremy Solozano are among the players who will suit up for the Tragerete road team.
But Powergen will prove to be a much tougher opponent, as Jason Mohammed and Uthman Mohammed should boost a team that includes Evin Lewis and Cephas Cooper.
Powergen had two strong shows in their previous rounds, scoring 251 against Clarke Road in round one while restricting their opponents to 91 and 164 for 4.
In their second match, they restricted Victoria to 203, but rain prevented Powergen from adding to its total of 130 for 1.
Legspinner Imran Khan returns to also boost Central Sports with the likes of Kjorn Ottley and Marlon Richards against Comets.
Clarke Road will welcome the return of Vikash Mohan, who was injured in the first Red Force match against Windward Islands Volcanoes and missed the match against Leeward Islands Hurricanes. Clarke Road will be facing Victoria in Barrackpore.
