Six Barbadians have been named in an All-Star 14-man squad following the conclusion of the West Indies Under-19 youth cricket championships. The squad was announced by chairman of youth selectors, Clyde Butts, at the tournament's awards dinner and presentation ceremony on Saturday night at King's House, the official residence of the Governor-General.

Among the six Bajans is opening batsman Martin Nurse, who also won the trophy for emerging as the leading run-scorer in the three-day version of the championships won by Barbados.

He is joined by captain Kenroy Williams, fellow batsmen Kirk Edwards and Ryan Wiggins, off-spinner Jason Smith and fast bowler Corey Edwards.

Nurse passed 50 three times in the competition en route to 334 runs, while Williams, Wiggins and Edwards all scored centuries and Smith was the team's top wicket-taker with 25 scalps.

Pride of place at the awards ceremony went to Trinidad and Tobago fast bowler Ravi Rampaul, who walked away with three trophies, including the Most Valuable Player award for his record 45 wickets, which included a best-ever innings haul of ten wickets for six runs.

The 14: Corey Edwards, Kirk Edwards, Martin Nurse, Jason Smith, Ryan Wiggins, Kenroy Williams (Barbados); Shawn Findlay, Xavier Marshall Krishmar Santokie, Jerome Taylor (Jamaica); Ravi Rampaul (Trinidad and Tobago) Zaheer Mohammed (Guyana); Gareth Matthew (Leeward Islands); Liam Sebastian (Windward Islands).
