`Soca Warriors' squad named

PORT OF SPAIN: Trinidad and Tobago coach Leo Beenhakker unveiled his final squad of 23 for the World Cup, axing utility player Anthony Rougier from his preliminary line-up.

Rougier agonisingly missed out on being part of the Soca Warriors' maiden World Cup campaign despite impressing the veteran coach since first being picked for the squad in January.

Trinidad and Tobago kicks off its campaign against Sweden in Dortmund on June 10, before playing England and Paraguay in the remaining Group B fixtures.

The squad:

Goalkeepers: Kelvin Jack (Dundee), Shaka Hislop (West Ham), Clayton Ince (Coventry). Defenders: Dennis Lawrence (Wrexham) Cyd Gray (CL Financial San Juan Jabloteh), Marvin Andrews (Rangers), Brent Sancho (Gillingham), Ian Cox (Gillingham), Atiba Charles (W Connection), Avery John (New England Revolution). Midfielders: Silvio Spann (unattached), Chris Birchall (Port Vale), Aurtis Whitley (Jabloteh), Evans Wise (Waldhof Mannheim), Anthony Wolfe (Jabloteh), Densill Theobald (Falkirk), Carlos Edwards (Luton Town), Dwight Yorke (Sydney FC), Russell Latapy (Falkirk). Strikers: Stern John (Coventry), Kenwyne Jones (Southampton), Collin Samuel (Dundee United), Jason Scotland (St Johnstone), Cornell Glen (LA Galaxy). — AFP
