THE BARBADOS CRICKET ASSOCIATION (BCA) season will see the introduction of a new T20 Shield competition this year.
This was revealed by director of cricket Steven Leslie during a press conference at Kensington Oval yesterday.
Forty-four teams will be vying for the grand prize of $4 000, beginning April 22.
“The competition would create an opportunity for the clubs within the lower divisions, apart from the traditional Elite and Division One clubs. These teams will be playing in a single elimination format across the landscape of Barbados, giving young men the opportunity to stay within their community teams if they choose,” he said.
The competition will see some 12 matches on the first day, followed on April 23 with 16 games. (RA)
