FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
ISSUED ON BEHALF OF BARBADOS TRIDENTS
Bridgetown, Barbados. 19 August 2017
The Barbados Tridents have replaced Raymon Reifer with Tion Webster for the remainder of the 2017 Hero Caribbean Premier League (CPL). Reifer has been called in the Test squad for the West Indies’ Test tour of England.
Webster is an exciting young cricketer from Trinidad & Tobago who made his first-class debut in the recently concluded 2016-17 four-day regional competition. He made a first-class hundred in his second match against Barbados and also claimed two wickets in his two matches.
Speaking of Webster’s selection for the rest of the tournament Robin Singh, coach of the Tridents, said: “While it is sad that we lost the services of Raymon for this year’s event we are delighted to see him getting a place in the West Indies squad for the prestigious tour of England.
“We look forward to welcoming Tion to the Tridents family and we are sure he will be a success for our team and in his future career.”
