00:21Today, we proudly declare this space as the home of the Red Force.
00:28The Red Force, ladies and gentlemen, represents more than just a team.
00:34It represents a proud and endearing legacy.
00:38Trinidad and Tobago has long been a dominant force in regional cricket.
00:44He added it makes players feel a sense of belonging and pride as they develop a culture of success.
00:49This wall stands as a powerful reminder of that commitment.
00:54A reminder that here, at this very facility, talent is noted, excellence is pursued, and champions are named.
01:05I would also like to acknowledge the contributions of our past and present Red Force players,
01:11whose dedication and performances have shaped this legacy.
01:16Captain of the Trinidad and Tobago Cricket Team, Joshua Da Silva, felt the official announcement has come in the right
01:22time.
01:23As players, we understand what it means to represent you in Tobago.
01:26Every time we step onto the field, we're carrying more than just ourselves.
01:29We're carrying our country, our families, and everyone who supports us.
01:34This team has a strong history, and we are very aware of that.
01:38But at the same time, we're focused on what we are building now.
01:41He also indicated that they are ready for the regional four-day tournament.
01:45Meantime, fast bowler Jaden Seals expressed his happiness about the establishment of the facility.
01:51Coach of the team, Riyad Emrit, encouraged his team to remain focused on the objectives.
01:57And for me personally, having the privilege of being part of the first Trinidad and Tobago team
02:03to represent under the Red Force name, it is especially meaning to see how that identity has grown
02:09and continues to evolve every day.
02:12To our current group, I want to encourage you to remain focused on the process,
02:17continue to commit to the work, and continue to support each other,
02:21and continue to uphold the standards that are expected at this level.
