A 19-member Trinidad and Tobago Under-23 football team will leave for Bermuda today to take part in a three-match tour.

The squad will face the Bermuda Under-23 squad on Monday and Friday, for the Bermuda Football Association Cup.

And the Zoran Vranes-coached outfit will meet a Bermuda club Devonshire Cougars on Wednesday.

Leston Paul, captain of the national team at two FIFA World Cups - the 2007 Under-17 competition in South Korea and the 2009 Under-20 event in Egypt, will lead a squad which comprises a number of players who were part of the Egypt contest.

Those players include Paul, goalkeepers Glenroy Samuel and Andre Marchan, defenders Aubrey David, Sheldon Bateau, Akeem Adams, Daneil Cyrus, Mikeil Williams and Curtis Gonzales, midfielders Marcus Joseph and Jean-Luc Rochford.

Paul, Samuel, David, Bateau, Adams, Cyrus, Joseph and Rochford were all involved in the 2007 Under-17 tournament, as well as winger Micah Lewis and defender Stephan Campbell.

Former national Under-15 and Under-17 captain Jerrel Britto was also included in the team, as well as the trio of defenders Nicholas Walker, Jevon Morris and forward Trent Lougheed - who were all dropped shortly before the Under-20 World Cup in Egypt.

Completing this team is lanky left-back Joevin Jones, who made his debut for W Connection during the latter stages of the 2009 season.

Team:

Glenroy Samuel, Andre Marchan (goalkeepers); Nicholas Walker, Aubrey David, Sheldon Bateau, Jevon Morris, Stephan Campbell, Akeem Adams, Daneil Cyrus, Joevin Jones, Mikeil Williams, Curtis Gonzales (defenders); Marcus Joseph, Micah Lewis, Jean-Luc Rochford, Leston Paul (midfielders); Trent Lougheed, Jerrel Britto (strikers).

Technical staff:

Zoran Vranes (coach), Hutson Charles (assistant coach), Cheryl Abrams (manager), Michael Williams (equipment manager), Ashton Mills (physiotherapist), Gilbert Bateau (trainer).
