FOUR Queen’s College students will join a Trinidadian cricket team in Canada at the fourth Annual Mississauga International Youth Cricket Festival.

The cricketers, who recently took part in the Sir Garfield Sobers International Schools Cricket Tournament in Barbados, will join the Caribbean Superkings for the 30-over junior festival, which officially starts today and ends on August 5.

The players include former Guyana U-15 national cricketer Amos Sarwan, Brandon Jaikaran, Vickash Jaikaran and Elnathan Sukhnandan.

Sukhnandan and Vickash are bowlers who bat in the middle and lower order while Brandon is an opening batsman and Sarwan a top order batsman.

Both Brandon (leg-spin) and Sarwan (off-spin) are capable spinners, while Vickash bowls off spin and Sukhnandan right-arm fast.

According to QC’s cricket team manager Mohamad Nassir, the boys had impressed the Superkings coach, who had done some training with them a short while back.

In Barbados, Brandon along with his cousin captain Navindra Persaud, led QC to their best-ever opening partnership of 227*, when they played St Mary’s College of Trinidad.

The opener finished with 181 runs (including a top score of 99 not out) at an average of 45.25, just behind Persaud who tallied 223 with a top score of 105*.

Sarwan, who had an average time with the bat, led the foursome in wickets in Barbados, He finished with six scalps while Vikash finished with four and Sukhnandan three.

The boys will play in the U-19 division of the Festival.
