A change of format made little difference to West Indies’ fortunes as another timid batting display sent them tumbling to a five-wicket defeat in the opening One-Day International on Sunday.Choosing to bat first at the Shere Bangla National Stadium in Bangladesh, the WI stumbled their way to an uncompetitive 195 for nine off their 50 overs, with opener Shai Hope top-scoring with 43.West Indies were at snail’s pace as they crawled to 79 for three at the half-way stage of the innings, and they needed busy knocks from Keemo Paul (36) and Roston Chase (32) down the order to lift the tempo.Seamers Mashrafe Mortaza (3-30) and Mustafizur Rahman (3-35) kept the Windies in check, however, limiting them to their fourth-lowest total against Bangladesh.In reply, Bangladesh overcame the lost of two early wickets to coast to their target in the 36th over, with wicketkeeper Mushfiqur Rahim stroking an unbeaten 55 and Liton Das gathering 41. read more

Breaks ground for for Vocational Training SchoolVice President Jewel Howard–Taylor has decried the under-development of Fuamah District in Lower Bong County at the total cost of the project is US$150,000, LINA Correspondent Richard Baysah reports.The Vice President said as a result of the under-development of Fuamah, she will strive to ensure that it receives the much-needed attention to move the district forward.According to the LINA, Vice President Taylor made the statement on Friday, October 12 when she broke ground for the construction of the Fuamah Vocational Training Institute in Bong Mines, Lower Bong County.The program which is initiated by the Vice President, is being done in partnership with NetLib Vocational Training School in Congo Town, outside Monrovia, and other public and private corporate entities, including the National Social Security and Welfare Corporation (NASSCORP), ArcelorMittal, Monrovia Breweries, MNG Gold Mining Corporation, and the LISCR Trust Company.When constructed, Madam Taylor said, the Fuamah Vocational Training School will give young people employable skills that will improve their livelihoods.She said Fuamah plays host to the biggest mining investment company, China Union, Liberia Bong Mining Company, and as a result of not having vocational and technically trained youths, they always venture elsewhere for the requisite ones they desire to employ, thus depriving citizens of the district the right to employment with the company.“No one should ever see this as a political plus or gimmick, but must see it as a channel through which our younger generation will gain meaningful vocational and technical skills that will transform their lives for the betterment of our country,” she said.District Representative Joseph Papa Kolleh expressed gratitude for the initiative, terming it as “very timely for the people of Fuamah District.”Kolleh assured Vice President Taylor of his full support, and called on his people to get involved in the growth and development of the district. “There can be no easy way or a single person initiating any form of meaningful development in an area without the involvement of others,” Rep. Kolleh said.Share this:Click to share on Twitter (Opens in new window)Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) read more
