The hosts had a forgetta- ble night in their opening match against Iraq, going down 1-2 to a second string side. The loss to Lions of Mesopotamia has fi rmly put the pressure on Felix Sanchez’s men. In a short tournament like Gulf Cup, a defeat in the very fi rst match can have a severe impact. Sanchez, though, will hope that it was just a minor blip for a side who have been impressive for the most of 2019. The maiden Asian Cup win in the UAE at the beginning of the year announced their arrival on the big stage, while another gutsy show in the Copa Amer- ica against the South American teams showed Sanchez’s men can stand up to big guns.

    Established October 1895 New gender policy on the horizon Page 5 Friday February 20, 2015 $2 VAT Inclusive POTENTIAL FOR MORE EXPORTS THERE are several opportunities for Barbados to boost its exports to China. Pointing out that China has a popula- tion of $1.3 billion, with a significant in- terest in other cultures, Senior Officer with the Barbados Investment Development Corporation Paula Bourne highlighted that while there has been a marked increase in trade between Barbados and China since 2007, there was still significant potential for export growth from the island. She noted for example that products such as rum and sea island cotton could be marketed and sold to the People’s Republic of China as well as music and cultural items. “While we are small and we often think that we do not have a lot to offer, China attaches great importance to economic trade and cultural relations with Barbados and the wider Caribbean. There is significant business potential that can be developed between the two countries and we need to step out and ex- plore,” she stated. Bourne stressed that private sector companies must work with facilitators in order to get samples of their products into Chinese markets. Noting that there were 2.4 million mil- lionaires in China, she pointed out that by gaining the interest of a few of these in products and services of the Caribbean could make a significant difference. In addition, she suggested that in the same way that China had trade agree- ments with various countries across the world, it is time that it also had one in place with Caricom.

  • Broad Boosts England's Victory Bid in Second West Indies Test
    14 Established 1961 Sports Tuesday, July 21, 2020 Photo of the day Coach Rennie not committing beyond 2023 World Cup SYDNEY: New Wallabies coach Dave Rennie has hint- ed he may not stay after the 2023 World Cup, with the New Zealander suggesting it would be better to have an Australian in charge in the future. The 56-year-old took charge this month after see- ing out his commitments with the Glasgow Warriors. He replaced Michael Cheika who departed following the country’s disappointing 2019 World Cup quarter- final exit. No other Australian coach was available or consid- ered up to the task, with Rennie appointed to lift the Wallabies from their lowly seventh world ranking and help groom a successor. “I’m not certain,” he told The Australian newspaper yesterday when asked if he planned to be around for the 2027 World Cup, which Australia are keen to host. “The ideal scenario is that the next coach is Australian and there needs to be some thought around that. If there is someone ready to go after the (2023) World Cup, that may be in the best interests of Australian rugby. “You can’t think too far ahead in this game,” added Rennie, who is on deal that takes him to the next World Cup. “I’m fully committed to the (2023) World Cup but what happens beyond that ... there has to be an empha- sis around identifying and developing other coaches to coach Australia.” The Wallabies have almost exclusively had Australians in charge, with New Zealander Robbie Deans the last foreigner at the helm, for five years from 2008.
