Jamaican teenage spin bowler Tamarie Redwood is making waves in the cricket world, with Chairman of Selectors Delroy Morgan touting him as a potential star. The 18-year-old leg spinner from Excelsior High School has been named in the Jamaica Scorpions squad for the upcoming Regional Super50 cricket tournament in Trinidad and Tobago.
Redwood has already garnered international experience, having represented West Indies Under-19s on a tour to Sri Lanka and being a reserve member of the team for the Under-19 World Cup in South Africa. With his impressive performances at the regional youth level and his skillful leg break combined with variations like the googly, Redwood is seen as a valuable asset for the team.
Morgan expressed his confidence in Redwood’s abilities, stating that he has the potential to be one of the best leg spinners not just in the country, but in the world. Team captain John Campbell also praised Redwood, noting that he has shown promising signs in practice sessions.
The Jamaica Scorpions, coached by Robert Haynes, are set to depart for Trinidad and Tobago soon and will kick off their campaign against Barbados Pride. With the reigning champions Trinidad and Tobago Red Force standing in their way, the team will be looking to Redwood and other key players to deliver strong performances on the field.
Overall, the future looks bright for young Tamarie Redwood as he continues to impress selectors and teammates alike with his talent and potential to shine on the cricketing stage. Jamaica cricket fans will no doubt be eagerly following his progress in the upcoming tournament.
