Cameron hails Windies U19 team

President of the West Indies Cricket Board (WICB) Whycliffe 'Dave' Cameron has congratulated the

Under-19 team following the emphatic three-wicket win over Bangladesh in the semi-final on Thursday.

"On behalf of the WICB, I would like to offer the team best wishes as they look forward to the final on Sunday against India," said the president. "The team, in spite of challenges in the earlier rounds, remained focused, and that has been evident in the way the team has conducted itself."

"This is, indeed, a time for us to celebrate and cheer on the young men as they try to create history," urged Cameron.

In acknowledging the progress made by the team, Cameron noted the key roles played by each player and the management team and wished them "the best of luck in the final game." The Caribbean, he said, is fully behind the team.

The last time the Under-19 team reached this far in a World Cup was back in 2004, where they played Pakistan. Pakistan won by 25 runs.
