Three Saint Lucians In West Indies U19 Camp

Three of Saint Lucia’s brightest cricketing talents have been drafted into a Cricket West Indies (CWI) training camp for Under-19 players. Theo Edward, Khan Elcock, and Cody Fontinelle will be groomed and nurtured under the tutelage of CWI Pathway and High-Performance coaches. A classy left-handed batsman, Elcock led Leon Hess Comprehensive Secondary School to victory in the 2023 Schools 50-Over Tournament, scoring a century in the decisive match. A former Windward Islands Under-15 MVP, he played alongside Edward and Fontinelle for the Windward Islands Under-17’s in this year’s regional competition. Fontinelle, a right-arm leg spinner, had an outstanding CWI Under-17 Tournament this year. His 16 wickets in three matches were the second-most in the two-day competition. His eight wickets in the rain-hit 50-over leg included 6-26 against the Leeward Islands. He finished with the fifth-most scalps in that part of the series. Edward, also a former Windwards Under-15 MVP, has played Under-19 cricket for the sub-regional team, scoring a half-century against champions Barbados in July. In the Windwards U19 tournament, he was the leading batsman with 188 runs, an average of 37.6, and a top score of 81 not out.  The three Saint Lucians will receive the appropriate training programmes...
