Kunal Tilokani has been selected to play in the Commonwealth Future Stars Under-23 cricket match. The team includes 12 young cricketers from islands across the Caribbean, including Dominica, Saint Lucia, Antigua and Barbuda and more.
Every member of the team is from a different island in the Caribbean, which makes the team diverse and unique.
The St. Kitts Cricket Association announced the selection of the cricketer in the Caribbean Under-23 team. They are confident that Kunal will represent the country well with his performance in the match.
Antigua and Barbuda’s Sir Vivian Richard Stadium will be the venue for the match on Sunday, November 1. The game is being hosted on the sidelines of 2026 Commonwealth Heads of Government Meeting (CHOGM).
Both the teams will play ten overs each. The format makes the competition quick and tight because this is the shortest form of the sport played professionally.

Dominican cricketer Stephan Pascal will be the captain of the Caribbean team. The West Indies Cricketing legend, Vivian Richard will serve as the honorary team manager.
