Hosein eyes comeback season in 2019-20

AKEAL Hosein was awarded with the Cricketer of the Year award when the Queen’s Park Cricket Club (QPCC) held its Cricket End of Season Presentation and Awards Dinner 2019 at the Queen’s Park Oval in St Clair, on Saturday night.

Hosein, currently playing for the Trinbago Knight Riders (TKR) in the 2019 Caribbean Premier League, got the nod ahead of Jon Russ Jaggesar, Kirstan Kallicharan, Yannic Cariah and Nicholas Alexis.

Hosein, 26, had a memorable season for Queen’s Park in the 2019 season. He scored 532 runs at an average of 48.4 with a highest score of 151 not out. The left-arm spinner was also prolific with the ball snatching 57 wickets which included three five-wicket hauls. Hosein was rewarded for his efforts and was drafted into the TT Red Force team for the forthcoming season.

Hosein broke into the TT Red Force four-day team a few years ago, before his form took a dip. Hosein is anticipating the forthcoming 2019/2020 season saying, “I have been drafted back with the TT Red Force this year. It is a pleasing feeling and it is something I am looking forward to.

"I am not where I wanted to be in my career and I am grateful to get back the opportunity to represent my country again and put on that red, white and black, so I am just happy to be a part of Red Force again and hopefully when I do get my opportunity this year I can continue to grow from strength to strength.”

Most of Queen’s Park’s West Indies and TT cricketers attended the awards as a number of them will be involved in the CPL match between TKR and Guyana Amazon Warriors at the Oval, tonight. Among those in attendance were Kieron Pollard, Sunil Narine, Khary Pierre, Nicholas Pooran and Dwayne Bravo, who also provided entertainment on the night with his music.

Among the others who attended the function were QPCC president Ken Gordon and former president Bruce Aanensen.
