Magram - JONATHAN RAMNANANSINGH
LEG-SPINNER Kissoondath Magram is goal-bound on securing his second consecutive stint with the TT Red Force for this year’s Cricket West Indies (CWI) Regional Four-Day tournament.
The 28-year old made his senior national debut against Leeward Islands, in 2020, and took one wicket for 36 runs (10.4 overs) in the squad’s innings and 168-run victory. He was, however, sidelined after suffering a back injury during the tournament.
Over the past month, the Queen’s Park Cricket Club (QPCC) player participated in national training for possible selection to the CG Insurance Super50 Cup squad.

JOSHUA Da Silva’s half-centurion (57) knock on debut in the second innings of the second Test against the Black Caps serves as one of the rare highlights arising out the regional team’s dismal performance following their recent tour of New Zealand.
The 22-year old was selected as a reserve player for the travelling West Indies (WI) team and was called up as a replacement wicketkeeper for the second Test match – which bowled off on Friday – as first-choice custodian Shane Dowrich returned to the Caribbean for personal reasons.
