All U19 teams around the world are playing ODI cricket at present in preparation for the World Cup in Feb next year, hence no longer version cricket.
Our U17 team earlier this year played 2 by 3 day games v CAB and we are close to finalising another youth series which will contain a couple of 4 day and 3 day matches. Bear in mind that while it is well and good for batsmen to learn to bat in long form cricket, someone has to bowl all those overs. If you want to develop fast bowlers , then its hard to do, when 90% of the overs will be spin due to wearing wicket and quicks inability at that age to bowl too many overs.
Please also note on the schedule, which says we arrive on Oct 2, we dont actually land in guyana till around 2am on the morning of the 3rd, so there will be no practice on the 3rd, in case anyone is in Guyana.
Will try to keep you all updated with progress as the tour takes place.
