Player selection was based on performance at recent ICC Americas U17 and U19 initiatives and based on performance of U-23 players at international level.
Long term goals of this High Performance Initiative:
1. ICC Americas is currently exploring the possibility of a rookie position for regional players in each Caribbean Premier League franchise
• This camp to act as selection tool for these potential rookie positions
2. ICC Americas–Talent Development Program (TDP)
• This camp to act as selection tool for an on – going ICC Americas TDP in 2015
O TDP will involve a small number of players given numerous opportunities to visit WICB HPC and link with BCA and club programs
O TDP players will be continually monitored and reviewed each year; some players may be dropped, while others added according to performance within the program and at international level
The schedule will be to play 3 x T20, 2 x 50 over games.
There will also be fitness testing and skills training components, as well as opportunities to work with / hear from West Indies Coaches and passed players.
