TRINIDAD and Tobago’s men’s national football coach Angus Eve has included experienced defenders Sheldon Bateau, Andre Raymond, Robert Primus, Justin Garcia, Jamal Jack, Ross Russell Jr, Joshiah Trimmingham and Alvin Jones in his squad for two friendly internationals against Guyana, set for Monday and Wednesday.
In addition, Eve has also rewarded players who’ve enjoyed a good domestic season in the Trinidad and Tobago Premier Football League (TTPFL) with inclusion for selection in his squad.
Among those in that sphere are 17-year-old former San Juan North Secondary midfielder Lindell Sween, who currently plays for Massy Motors Morvant Caledonia FC, as well as goalkeeper Aaron Enill, who is enjoying a stellar season with Prisons FC.
Among the newcomers are Tobagonian Adriel George of 1976 Phoenix FC, AC Port of Spain’s defender Liam Burns, Daniel David of Terminix La Horquetta Rangers, Simeon Bailey of Police FC, and Ezekiel Kezar, the prolific Point Fortin Civic Centre striker.
Eve’s squad also includes veteran Sheldon Bateau whose European season has ended, and former Portuguese-based left-back Raymond, who played in the CONCACAF Nations League quarter-final against the USA last year but is now unattached.
Brent Sam, Matthew Woo Ling, Duane Muckette, Jack, Michel Poon Angeron, Shervhonez Hamilton, Ross Russell Jr, Isaiah Lee and Trimmingham have all been around the national team before, without cementing a regular place.
