There is still some time to 2026, but Queen's Park coach David Furlonge is hungry to win the TTCB Two-Day Premiership next season.
QPCC's technical team and players will be starting their sessions from next week to plan ahead, as Furlonge wants add more silverware to the T20 trophy won this year.
00:00QPCC coach David Furlong is constantly busy focusing on how to get the best out of his players.
00:06Having returned to Queen's Park this year after being with Team Red Force earlier,
00:10Furlong felt the season was full of ups and downs.
00:13But he's hoping to see improvements come 2026.
00:16During the season we saw what work that we have to do prior to next year, the 2026 season.
00:24And we'll actually start that next week on sort of skill development with players
00:29and looking at who we have and looking at team make-ups from now till next year
00:35to ensure that we have a better season.
00:37We won the T20, which is good, but the league is always the prestigious one that we're looking to win next year.
00:45And how would you describe that T20 victory, winning that festival?
00:50It was good to be back in Winner's Row.
00:52We didn't win any for the first time in about maybe 10 years or so.
00:56We didn't win any hardware in 2024.
00:59So it would be good to be back winning a title.
01:03The players worked hard for it.
01:05And it was a nice feeling winning something again.
01:10The team was captained by left-handed batsman Darren Bravo,
01:12who made an impact during the T20 festival.
01:15According to Furlong, time will tell if the cricketer from Santa Cruz would be available next season.
01:20Hopefully, yes.
01:21I don't know if anybody has any plans for him.
01:24I know he's back with TKR and CPL this year, but I don't know what plans.
01:29Once he's available, he will play with the team.
01:32And how was the bond like working with Darren?
01:36Well, you know, I've been working with Darren since he was eight years old.
01:40And, you know, so it's not a matter, you know, I work with him in Trinidad and then back here again now.
01:45So that, you know, we have a good relationship.
01:48We work, you know, we work well together.
01:50I think we've gone good.
01:52The club is known for the development of players so they can go on to bigger things.
01:57Speaking of which, Furlong sees a bright future for a couple outstanding players this season.
02:01Yeah, I think, you know, we have young Ramdu here, young Kyle Ramdu.
02:05I think he performed, you know, exceptionally during the season.
02:09You know, there's also a young fast bowler called Aidan Ratcher who quietly, you know, got wickets, you know, two, three wickets every game quietly.
02:18You know, he was hardly noticed until you look at the stats at the end of the season.
02:23You know, so those are two young players, you know, that we're looking at to come on next year.
02:27QPCC, like the other clubs, were denied a shot at the 50-over title since the tournament had to be scrapped because of inclement weather.
