Taylor included in 14-man Super50 squad

FORMER West Indies pacer Jerome Taylor has been included in Jamaica’s 14-man squad, for the Super50 over tournament, named by chairman of the selection committee Wavell Hinds yesterday at Sabina Park.

The tournament will be staged in Trinidad & Tobago starting on January 30. The squad will be led by captain Chris Gayle and it represents no surprises, mainly consisting of senior players with only one young player being included, John Campbell. Prior to the squad being named, the final trial match saw Cassius Burton putting on an all-round performance which piloted Yannick Elliot’s XI to what would have been an easy victory over John Campbell’s XI.

Elliot’s XI batting first made a steady 211 all out from 49.5 overs, which saw Burton leading the way with a well played 58, backed by Brenton Parchment, who contributed a patient 36 from 84 balls. Former captain Tamar Lambert chipped in with 37 from 54 balls. Nicholas Gordon led the bowling with four for 45 from his eight overs, while Sheldon Cotterell carried the swing for John Campbell’s XI taking three for 42 from his 10 overs.

With the sun out in all its glory and the wind blowing cool across the ground, Campbell’s XI started their run chase with a well put together 87-run opening partnership by the skipper himself who led with 43 runs and John Ross Campbell (42) before they fell in quick succession.

Carlton Baugh Jr offered some assistance making 25, but Campbell’s XI only mustered 149-8 from 40.2 overs. Burton led with two for 15 from 2.2 overs and also executed a beautiful run out, while Christopher Lamont also bagged two for 18 from his 10 overs.

Damian Jacobs was the last man out before the players were called to a team meeting by Hinds. Full squad: Chris Gayle (captain), David Bernard Jr (vice-captain), Andre Russell, Carlton Baugh Jr, Tamar Lambert, Andre Richardson, Horace Miller, John Campbell, Jermaine Blackwood, Andre McCarty, Sheldon Cotterell, Jerome Taylor, Nikita Miller, Nkrumah Bonner. Reserves: Danza Hyatt, Kennar Lewis, Donovan Nelson and Jamie Merchant
