RHTYSC Congratulates Anderson on his maiden first-class century England Test captain Ben Stokes suffers injury 'setback', says IPL coach

THE president and members of the Rose Hall Town Youth and Sports Club would like to congratulate our talented member, Kelvon Anderson, on scoring his maiden first-class century -- 153 versus the Headley X1 in the Cricket West Indies Headley/Weekes Tri team series in Antigua.

The Club is full of pride and joy at Kevlon’s achievement and we are confident that it would be the first of many more to come in the future.

Kevlon joined the RHTYSC in 2011 when he was accompanied by his older brother to practice and, in 2013, his talent was recognised when he was named the Cricketer of our 3rd annual cricket academy, which attracted over one hundred youths from across the county.

Kelvon has represented the club at the Under 15, 17, 19, 21 and 23 levels along with intermediate, second and first division.

He is presently the captain of the Rose Hall Town NAMILCO Thunderbolt Flour First Division team and has been one of the top performers with the bat over the last five years. He is one of several exciting young players that has emerged from the

RHTYSC as a result of a carefully developed plan.

The others include West Indies player Kevin Sinclair; Amazon Warriors All-rounder Junior Sinclair; promising pacer Slyus Tyndall; off-spinner Jonathan Rampersaud, West Indies female players Sheneta Grimmond and Shabika Gajnabi; Inter-County players Matthew Pottaya and Jeremy Sandia, among many others.

The RHTYSC would like to salute the official sponsors of the club who have all contributed to the development of Anderson’s cricket - ing career -- Farfan and Mendes Ltd, Bakewell, DDL/Pepsi, Gizmos and Gadgets and NAMILCO Thunderbolt Flour.

A special thank you also to the numerous coaches who work with our youths, especially Winston Smith. The RHTYSC is committed to upholding our pattern of excellence and we look forward to producing more players like Kelvon in the future.

We would also like to urge him to remain focussed and to remember the club’s formula of success as he patterns his career -- faith in God, hard work, honesty, discipline.

ENGLAND Test captain Ben Stokes faces a week on the sidelines after suffering an injury setback, says his Indian Premier League coach Stephen Fleming. Stokes has played just two of six matches for Chennai Super Kings since the start of the IPL season in March.

The 31-year-old all-rounder had a pain-relieving injection in his knee before flying out to India.

"He had another little setback yesterday, so he's probably a few days or a week away at least," said Fleming.

There is no suggestion Wisden's newly crowned leading cricketer in the world has suffered further issues with his long-standing knee problem.

A toe injury saw him miss recent games and while the Chennai coach did not elaborate on the latest injury, reports in India say he has a heel problem.

Stokes was bought by Chennai for $1.98m (£1.6m) in the IPL auction in December and is expected to lead the England Test team in this summer's home Ashes series, which starts in June.

Fleming, speaking after Chennai's seven-wicket win over Sunrisers Hyderabad, said: "This is a challenge. Our priority is getting Ben fit and ready to play, that's what we are concentrating on. At the moment, he's not quite ready."
