Off-spinner Joshua Davis delivered a standout performance during a Red Force trial match at the National Cricket Centre (NCC) in Couva on October 26, earning Man of the Match honors and catching the attention of head coach Rayad Emrit and chairman of selectors Rajendra Mangalie. Davis’ spell of four for 25 was instrumental in securing a ten-run victory for the Vikash Mohan XI over the Terrance Hinds XI, marking their second consecutive win in the trial series. The matches are part of the preparation for the upcoming 2025 CG United Super50 competition, set to take place in Trinidad from November 19 to 29. Davis claimed key wickets, including those of Yannic Cariah, Crystian Thurton, Terrance Hinds, and Jason Mohammed, disrupting the Hinds XI’s chase of a modest 213-run target. Despite a late surge from the Hinds XI, the Mohan XI held their nerve to clinch the win. Earlier, captain Vikash Mohan led the batting effort with a solid 59, supported by Jyd Goolie’s patient 46, as the Mohan XI posted 212 for eight. The Hinds XI’s Shatrughan Rambaran top-scored with 40, but their innings faltered under pressure. Another trial match was scheduled for October 28 as the teams continue their preparations.
