00:00Trinidad and Tobago's 13-man squad for the regional four-day tournament was
00:03recently picked with Pacer Anderson Phillip included in the mix. For the 29
00:07year old it's always a pleasure representing the Twin Island nation.
00:11I want to thank God for another opportunity to represent my country. It doesn't matter what you're doing.
00:18But once you get the opportunity to represent your country where you can put
00:24on that red, white and black it's always a proud moment.
00:28Regarding his goals Phillip just wants to be consistent throughout the season. After all
00:32he wants to add to his six test caps for the West Indies.
00:36Yeah definitely I think I think it's just about having a good showing you know. I was selected last
00:43time as well on to the test squad because of a good showing in the four-day tournament so I
00:49think it's
00:49just to repeat that performance or even better it where I can actually cement a spot on the test
00:56team as well too. So I believe it once I have a good showing for Red Force it would be
01:01a good for us.
01:03The CWI has come up with a new cost cutting format which will see TNT playing the Leewards in three
01:08matches in Antigua. Such will also apply to defending champs Guyana who played three
01:13games against hosts Winwards and Jamaica play Barbados thrice in Jamaica. The three
01:19winners of the matchups then advance further for a shot at the title. Regardless of the format,
01:25Phillip and his Red Force teammates are ready for the challenge.
01:27I believe with the new format of the four-day championship it's all about starting it's all
01:34about starting well and from ever since Red Force always good starters so you know I believe in a
01:42bunch of guys we back one another and we look forward to it because it's going to be a good
01:48challenge and we accept them as they come. TNT have not won the four-day title in many years
01:54but Phillip is optimistic about his team's chances. You can tell by the way guys go about you know a
02:00practice session or just practicing and enhancing their skills so you know we support one another
02:06we support one another we rally around one another and I would say the guys are ready because
02:12everything we ask for in preparation and skill wise is there so it's just about executing. The
02:18tournament bowls off on April 12th with all teams in action.
02:22We know what now are any teams export.
