Campbell returns as Scorpions skipper

KINGSTON, Jamaica (CMC):

JOHN CAMPBELL has been named to lead the Jamaica Scorpions franchise in the upcoming Regional Super50 Cup scheduled to be played in Trinidad and Tobago from October 29 to November 23.

Campbell, who has played 20 Test matches for the West Indies, had been banned for four years by the Jamaica Anti-Doping Commission (JADCO) in late 2022 for failing to provide a testing sample to doping control officers in April of that year. The ban was later reduced by two years and two months after he brought his case to the Court of Arbitration for Sports.

Discarded West Indies batsman Kirk McKenzie has been named vice-captain in the 14-man Scorpions squad, which includes West Indies and Jamaica youth leg-spinner Tamarie Redwood.

Also included in the squad are former captain Jermaine Blackwood and West Indies T20 player Odean Smith.
