KINGSTON – Jamaica’s talented duo of Oshane Thomas and Fabian Allen have shown that they are good enough cricketers to merit selection to the West Indies senior team.

That is the view of former Windies fast bowler turned commentator Ian Bishop, who has high expectations of both players following their outstanding performances in the just concluded Hero Caribbean Premier League (CPL).

The 21-year-old Thomas was the second leading wicket-taker in the competition, finishing with 18 wickets, behind only Fawad Ahmed who snared 22 wickets. He was named in the CPL’s All Star team-of-the-tournament.

Meanwhile, Allen, 23, scored 119 runs in three innings, including a match-winning unbeaten 64 against the Barbados Tridents, which helped secure a top-four finish for the St Kitts and Nevis Patriots. (CMC)
