SKN PULSE – Nevis’ Jason Campbell is the only Nevisian player that is featured in the present Leeward Islands Squad going into preparations for the upcoming 2017/18 Professional Cricket League (PCL) scheduled to bowl off in November.

Campbell, along with Simon, Matthew, Saunders and Berridge were acquired during the PCL draft held in Jamaica last week where the six teams competing in the PCL finalised the make-up of their rosters. Now that the draft additions are complete, teams can now jumpstart their preparations for the upcoming season.

The draftees will join the 10 protected players. They are: Rahkeem Cornwall, Montcin Hodge (Anguilla), Jahmar Hamilton (Anguilla), Devon Thomas, Nkrumah Bonner (Jamaica), Chesney Hughes (Anguilla), Keacy Carty (St Maarten), Gavin Tonge, Terrance Ward (St Kitts) and Jeremiah Louis (St Kitts). 

Antiguan, Devon Thomas is returning to the Leeward Islands after having previously represented  the Jamaica Scorpions in both the 4-Day and Super50 tournaments last season. 

With the LICB set to name a new coach at the end of July, the Hurricanes will be hoping to turn things around after finishing at the bottom of the six-team standings in the 4-Day competition. They had a much better showing in the Super50 competition as they reached the semifinals.
