Perry looks to blood youngsters during festival
Mon, Apr 5, '10
Chairman of selectors, Nehemiah Perry, in an interview with the Observer on Saturday's opening day of the three-day game against the Irish, says there is a lot to gain.
"We want to look at some young players who we want to try and blood into the senior programme... like Akeem Dewar who is making his debut and Horace Miller, this is his second game playing for Jamaica.
"So we are trying to strike a balance... to have some of the senior players rub shoulders with the youngsters by passing on some of their experience and let them have a feel of what it's all about at a higher standard," he said.
