“Definitely, as a cricketer, one must always be working to improve your game whether it be mentally or physically but I’m working on my fitness and strength at the moment,” he said of his preparatio­n.

The burly Primus who strikes the cricket ball some distance which complement­s his steady right - arm seam bowling, said that he was quite eager to use the opportunit­y to compete with the internatio­nal stars in an effort to improve his game.

“I’m really excited to play with and against the internatio­nal pros, maybe I can learn a lot to take my game to another level and become even a better player.”

The youngster, who Like many of the West Indians who fell in love with cricket on the sandy beaches, under the Caribbean sun, also registered his desire to represent the Caribbean side.

Primus credited his Bajan club mates Jason Holder, Kraigg Brathwaite, Kirk Edwards, Ian Bradshaw, his coaches and parents for pushing and advising him along his journey.

His inclusion should add value to the Warriors setup in the absence of Christophe­r Barnwell who is now with the Barbados Tridents squad. His lower order striking ability and his steady medium pace will be an asset to the spin-laden side, adding some semblance of balance to the Warriors side.
