Ganga:Hard work to repeat KFC cup success

Captain Daren Ganga believes Trinidad and Tobago success at the upcoming KFC Cup is not guaranteed and players will have to work hard to ensure they replicate their previous success.

“Our success at any tournament is not guaranteed. We may be the defending champions but this does not guarantee that we would walk away with the title this time around,” Ganga told CMC Sports.

“The players on the TT team have to work very hard to ensure success and that starts from now. I am very happy with the fact that we have started our preparations this early and I am sure this would work to our advantage when the series comes around.” The KFC Cup, the regional limited overs series, will bowl off on October 15 with TT going into action on October 16 in the preliminaries in Guyana. Ganga said the twin-island republic will be strengthened for the tournament by the return of West Indies players Dwayne Bravo, Ravi Rampaul, Denesh Ramdin and coach David Williams.

“These are key players in our set up and they will bolster our team when they return. Also coach David Williams has been a tremendous asset to us and we look forward to his return,” Ganga said.

Two 50-overs trial matches will be played at the National Cricket Centre in Balmain, Couva tomorrow and on Sunday, beginning at 10am.
