Pyjama cricket back in WI!
KINGSTON, Jamaica, Sept 13: The West Indies Cricket Board announced here on Friday that they would be introducing pyjama uniforms and perhaps white balls and black screens for domestic one-day cricket to try and attract larger audiences, reports AFP.
Pyjama cricket, as it is known first introduced by Australian billionaire Kerry Packer in the late 70's, is just one of the innovations which the West Indies Cricket Board and sponsors Red Stripe Beer to boost interest in cricket in the Caribbean and. in particular, capture a television audience in the United States.
"To add to the excitement and to build further fnterest in the game, we are going to have names and numbers on the clothing so that people who are (may be) less familiar with the Kme. and with the players, will able to identify who is where on the field and who is doing what." John Burrowes. a spokesman for the sponsors said.
"It provides us with a great opportunity, in terms of promoting the game, in terms of
exposing our culture and our talent, not only throughout the Caribbean but also the great United States markets, he added.
Although the coloured gear will definitely be incorporated, the use of white balls and black sightscreens is still under review. The WICB will make a final decision later on their Introduction to this year’s bowl.
The Red Stripe Bowl will be contested in October each year and will culminate in a championship weekend that not only includes the semifinals and the Super Bowl.
The six territories which comprise the WICB. along with Bermuda and either Canada or the United States will be divided into two zones which will be played in two regions. One zone will be hosted by Jamaica for the duration of Red Stripe's sponsorship, which is likely to last five years, and the other will be rotated around the other territories. This year, the South American country of Guayana will host the second zone.
Host Jamaica. Trinidad and Tobago, last year's West Indies
limited overs champions when it was called the Shell-Sandals Trophy. Windward Islands and Canada will play in Zone A this year.
Home team Guayana. last year's runners-up Barbados. Leeward Islands and Bermuda will play in Zone B.
The preliminary, zonal competition will be contested on a non-elimination basis with two points awarded for a win. one for a no-result and naught for a loss. It will be followed by the quarterfinals inside the zone in which the first-!>laced team will play with the ourth-placed and second will meet third.
The four quarterfinal winners'will travel to Jamaica, where they will contest the semifinals on October 17 and 18.
The Super Bowl, the championship match, will be held on October 20. which is National Heroes Day. a public holiday in Jamaica.
Red Stripe will no longer be sponsoring the West Indies first-class championship which they did for the last 10 years.
