Jones hits classy 63 in trial match

Aaron Jones was unlucky not to make his first-class debut for the Barbados Pride franchise in last year’s Regional Professional Cricket League.

He may have better fortune this time around after fashioning a responsible half-century on the opening day of the second Barbados Pride trial match at St Catherine’s Club, Bayfield, St Philip, yesterday.

Jones, a stylish right-handed middle order batsman stroked nine fours in a classy 63 off 103 balls in 164 minutes as Kenroy Williams’ Team were dismissed for 182 in 56.5 overs against Kevin Stoute’s Team.

In reply, Stoute’s Team reached 34 for three in 13 overs as young fast bowler Chemar Holder snared the scalps of openers Leniko Boucher and Shayne Moseley in a lively six-over new ball spell for 13 runs. (EZS)
