—Hetmyer, Paul and Griffith return for round four while Singh, Hemraj and Reifer leave for Board XI

Guyana Jaguars will have three changes for their fourth-round Cricket West Indies four-day clash against the Windward Islands Volcanoes at the Providence Stadium starting today.

The defending champions have already won all three matches and will be looking for a fourth straight win against the Volcanoes.

Their chances of doing so have been boosted with the return of West Indies duo, Shimron Hetmyer and Keemo Paul as well as top order batsman, Trevon Griffith.

However, they will be without the services of Vishaul Singh, Raymon Reifer and Chandrapaul Hemraj who will be going to represent the West Indies Cricket Board XI against England.

When Stabroek News visited the Jaguars during their training session yesterday, Head Coach, Esaun Crandon acknowledged the “fantastic start” the team has gotten in the tournament.

“Three games on the road is a fantastic start for us, leading the table coming home with two games, definitely we want to extend that lead at the top of the table.”

Jaguars are currently on 58.4 points with the next best being Leeward Islands Hurricanes with 43.6 points followed by Volcanoes (38.2 points), Barbados Pride (29.8 points), Trinidad and Tobago Red Force (10.2 points) and Jamaica Scorpions (9.8 points).

Crandon added that the home advantage is always crucial to a team and while the side may know the conditions, they also have to play like that in order to win.

The West Indies-bound coach foresees a good contest against their opponents, He said that the Windwards have improved since Guyana defeated them but remains confident in his players.

“It is just about going out there and executing the plans well,” he said.

The Windward Islands most successful bowler, Shane Shillingford, will not be playing this round
