Barbados Pride to Face Trinidad & Tobago Red Force in Semifinal

The Barbados Pride will face the Trinidad & Tobago Red Force in the first semifinal of the Regional Super50 tournament on Wednesday, with the addition of West Indies all-rounder Roston Chase boosting their chances.

Chase’s Return

Chase was previously unavailable, having played for the West Indies against England in the One Day International and T20I series, which concluded on Sunday.

Shian Brathwaite has been added to the squad, while Raymon Reifer will serve as captain for the remainder of the tournament.

Captaincy Change

According to a press release issued by the Barbados Cricket Association, the national selection panel has confirmed that Roston Chase and Shian Brathwaite will join the Barbados Pride squad as replacement players for Kadeem Alleyne and Kyle Mayers, respectively. Raymon Reifer has been appointed captain for the remainder of the tournament.

Team Hopes

The Pride hopes to bounce back from their recent defeat and secure a victory against the Red Force in the semifinal. They will be looking to build on their strengths and weaknesses, and capitalize on their opponents’ vulnerabilities.

Conclusion

The Barbados Pride’s chances of making it to the final of the Regional Super50 tournament have been boosted by the return of Roston Chase and the addition of Shian Brathwaite to the squad. The team will be looking to put their recent defeat against the Red Force behind them and focus on the semifinal match.
