Da Silva to lead Trinidad and Tobago National Cricket Team

West Indies wicketkeeper Joshua Da Silva is about to lead the Trinidad and Tobago (T&T) National Cricket Team as captain in the West Indies Championship. Joshua has replaced Darren Bravo as West Indies Captain.

Darren has been serving as team captain since 2018. Joshua Da Silva is not the first time to lead as captain for the Trinidad and Tobago Team. He has also led the West Indies “A team” on a visit to South Africa last year.

Although, he will have to step up as a frontline batter in the absence of Darren. Because Darren was the leading batsman of the Red Forces (Trinidad and Tobago) in last year’s match.

West Indies wicket-keeper Joshua Da Silva has been named Trinidad and Tobago Red Force captain and will lead a 13-man squad for the first three rounds of the West Indies Championship, or the first-class tournament.
