Shimron Hetmyer has been recalled to West Indies One-Day International (ODI) squad for the three-match ODI leg of the ongoing home series against New Zealand.
All three matches will be day/night games played under floodlights at Kensington Oval in Barbados August 17, 19 and 21.
Hetmyer returned to West Indies colours for the first time since November 2021 for the T20I series against India and New Zealand. He had been excluded mostly on fitness grounds.
The Guyanese last play an ODI in July 2021.
The squad includes one new face in the Guyanese offspin-bowling allrounder Kevin Sinclair, who has played six T20Is but is yet to make his ODI debut.
“As we stated before, we are looking to broaden the pool of players, and we have decided to give Sinclair an opportunity in the CG United ODI Series against New Zealand,” lead selector Desmond Haynes said. “He has been in the system for a while and was also in the ‘A Team’ to play against Bangladesh ‘A’ in the upcoming series. We believe with his calm approach and skills he will do well in the matches against New Zealand.”
Spin-bowling allrounder Roston Chase is unavailable for selection due to injury while fellow allrounder Fabien Allen of Jamaica is also unavailable for personal reasons.
The hard-hitting middle-order batter Rovman Powell of Jamaica, and the seam-bowling allrounder Romario Shepherd were not selected.

Le Baccha Festival, rassemblant plus de 15 000 festivaliers par jour ces 13 et 14 août accueillera cette année le projet « La Baccha sans tracas » de La Croix-Rouge.
L’action, organisée via la Délégation Territoriale de la Croix-Rouge française en Martinique par Andy Cinna (Bénévole), Brigitte Véfour (Déléguée à l’Engagement et du Développement) et subventionnée en partie par l’ARS Martinique et d’autres dons divers, vise à sensibiliser les festivaliers aux risques en milieu festif, c’est-à-dire la consommation d’alcool et de produits psycho actifs, la conduite en état d’ivresse ou sous stupéfiants, le risque des relations sexuelles non protégées (grossesse, IST), les risques auditifs et enfin les divers formes d’agressions et violences.
10 bénévoles de la Croix-Rouge seront présents sur le site du Baccha Festival à la Pointe Faula au Vauclin pour mener à bien ce projet. C’est également un enjeu pour la Délégation Territoriale de la Croix-Rouge française en Martinique, en quête de nouveaux bénévoles pour mener à bien ses actions.
Durant l’événement, des paniers contenant du matériel de réduction des risques à l’effigie de l’association (préservatifs, éthylotest, cache verre anti-intrusion de drogue, et goodies de la Croix-Rouge) seront dispatchés à différents points du festival, tels que les espaces bar, espace VIP ou bien aux postes de secours.
Lors de ce types d’événements les contrôles sont renforcés par rapport à la forte consommation d’alcool et de produits psychoactifs et aux risques pour les usagés de la route.
Pour rappel, le dernier bilan de la sécurité routière en date du 31 juillet 2022 fait état de 16 morts sur nos routes depuis le début de l’année. Les autres risques liés à ces périodes de festivités sont les relations sexuelles non protégées. Selon Santé Publique France, le taux de dépistage des IST en Martinique est en moyenne deux fois supérieur à celui du territoire national.

Charlestown, Nevis, August 10, 2022 (NIA) — Hon. Mark Brantley, Premier of Nevis, and Minister of Finance in the Nevis Island Administration (NIA), says the government is cautiously optimistic with respect to the economic outlook for the island as key indicators reflect a strong first quarter for 2022.
“The economic outlook for the rest of the year, I think we’re cautiously optimistic because our tourism season this year has been much longer that anticipated. As a matter of fact we still have groups that have come and are at the Four Seasons Resort (Nevis)…
“We expect that the prospects are relatively good. My last update from the Ministry of Finance officials, which I received just about three weeks ago, suggested that we are on the right track. We were marginally ahead of projections in terms of revenue and behind in terms of expenditure. It means that is a good place to be. Of course let me hasten to say that we would have done that during the better days, because we understand that the Tourism industry contributes most during the winter months so from January, February, March, and April. This year we’ve gone much longer than anticipated and we hope that that trend will continue,” he said.
The Premier, who is also responsible for Tourism and Human Resources, revealed that employment and income levels on the island are trending upwards. This, he said is, another sign of economic recovery in the post-COVID-19 pandemic era.
“We have seen a job report from Social Security that gives us a snapshot as to the position as of April 2022. As of April on the island of Nevis, the number of employees increased by 3.5 percent over last year. The number of jobs in Nevis increased by 5.9 percent over the same period last year. The gross monthly wages increased by a massive 12 percent over the same period in 2021. The gross monthly wages per employee increased by 8.1 percent over that same period in 2021, and the gross monthly wages per job increased by 5.7 percent on the island of Nevis over the same period 2021.”
He noted that the figures represent the categories measured by Social Security Scheme and do not reflect persons self-employed in the informal sector.
By way of comparison, on St. Kitts the number of employees declined by 0.1 percent in 2022 over the same period in 2021; the number of jobs in increased by 0.5 percent; the gross monthly wages increased by 4.4 percent; and the gross monthly wages per employee in St. Kitts increased by 4.5 percent.
Premier Brantley said the employment and revenue statistics on Nevis thus far are encouraging with respect to a much-needed increase in economic momentum.
“I think that those figures are welcomed figures and they show that we are moving in the right direction coming out of the COVID-19 pandemic.”

Basseterre, St. Kitts, August 10, 2022 (SKNIS): Prime Minister of St. Kitts and Nevis, Honourable Dr. Terrance Drew, has given a preview of some ministerial portfolios expected to be announced during the inauguration of the new government on Saturday (August 13, 2022) at 4 p.m.
During an interview with a local media house on Tuesday, Prime Minister Drew said that a circular making the rounds on social media outlining ministerial assignments is “not reflective of what I have planned.” However, he confirmed his thinking as it relates to the Ministry of Education.
“I can clearly say that people know that Dr. Geoffrey Hanley will be the Minister of Education,” he said.
The prime minister, a medical doctor by profession, added, “very likely, I can also say that I will take [the Ministry of] Health.”
Members of the general public are specially invited to attend the inaugural this Saturday at the Warner Park Cricket Stadium at 4 p.m.
“We are inviting the whole country to come out and see that inauguration when our ministers would be named and their various ministries will be given out as well,” Prime Minister Drew stated.
Five other members of the St. Kitts and Nevis Labour Party were elected during the August 05, 2022, Federal Elections. They are Dr. the Honourable Geoffrey Hanley, Honourable Marsha Henderson, Honourable Konris Maynard, Honourable Samal Duggins, and the Right Honourable Dr. Denzil Douglas
