THE round one game of the West Indies Cricket Board (WICB) Regional Under-15 50-over tournament between Guyana and Trinidad and Tobago was washed out without a ball being bowled yesterday at the Albion Sport Complex.The boundary edges were the most affected areas and after three inspections, the umpires called off play at 13:30hrs.
There was disappointment in both camps as well as for the spectators, who were mostly Trinidadians.
Trinidad and Tobago coach Glen Dwarika believes that if the ground staff had worked more diligently both teams could have enjoyed some cricket.
“I am disappointed with the ground staff not doing their work. I know there are some patches up on the outfield and the boundary could have been brought in a little, but if the mopping up was done how it was supposed to be done we could have had some cricket,” Dwarika said.
Guyana coach Julian Moore said while it was disappointing, his players are now focused on the games ahead.
Guyana will play the Leeward Islands in round two today at the Guyana National Stadium, Providence.
