BARBADOS’ young batting prodigy Shai Hope says he will use his outstanding performances in the just concluded Regional Super50 to kickstart his career for West Indies.
The 23-year-old right-hander struck 101 in Saturday’s final to help power Barbados Pride to the Super50 title with a 59-run victory over Jamaica Scorpions at Coolidge Cricket Ground in Antigua.
Hope finished the tournament as one of the leading run-scorers with 482 runs and two centuries, following his 125 in the semi-final against Leeward Islands Hurricanes last Thursday.
“I just have to stay consistent, consistent in front and behind the stumps. [I have to] score as many runs as possible and take the chances that come to me,” Hope said in reference to his international career. (CMC/EZS)
