Barbados Tridents’ head coach Orlando Da Costa has not closed the door on the possibility of other players being included in the squad for the upcoming crucial Concacaf Nation’s League matches.Following the conclusion of the team’s one-week tour of Grenada where they drew all three international friendlies, Da Costa said he hoped the national side would be given an opportunity to play at least one international friendly at the Wildey Astro Turf where they will take on Cuba on March 23 before traveling to Antigua on March 26.Barbados currently sits in fourth position in Group A of League B.And even though Da Costa said he was impressed with the team’s performance in Grenada, he made it clear that other players will be given additional opportunities to make the squad.They were several surprising omissions from the 23-man squad which traveled to Grenada, including current Premier League top scorer Corey Hoyte, and former national players Hayden Holligan and Kishmar Primus.
The best of the best.That’s how new head coach of the senior men’s national football team Orlando Da Costa has described the 23-man squad selected to play three international friendlies against Grenada, the first of which kicks off on Wednesday.Following the squad’s announcement last Friday, there was some criticism that in-form Brittons Hill United striker Corey Hoyte, the top goal scorer in the Premier League with seven goals from four matches had not been included in the squad, which features seven newcomers.Additionally, the omission of former captain Hayden Holligan, custodian Kishmar Primus, along with defenders Akeem Hill and Ricardio Morris, also raised some eyebrows.But speaking before the team departed this morning for the Spice Isle, Da Costa, who took over as head coach last November following Russell Latapy’s resignation, said he believed he had chosen the best available players.
