Batsman Riyaad Mohammed
Leading the charge with the bat is opening batsman Riyaad Mohammed, whose composed stroke play and ability to anchor the innings will be key in the 50-over format. On the bowling front, the T&T pace attack will be spearheaded by the fiery Aadian Racha, who has impressed with his pace, aggression, and control.
The tournament will feature seven round-robin matches before the playoffs, giving teams plenty of opportunities to build momentum. For T&T, a positive start against USA 2 could set the tone for a strong run in the competition.
