Roger Seepersad of the Trindad Express speaks to Justin Guillen, member of a distinguished cricketing family, who will play for Trinidad and Tobago in the Stanford Super Series next month. Justin is the great nephew of Simpson Clairmonte Guillen, also known as ‘Sammy’ Guillen, who was one of only 14 men to play Test cricket for two countries, having represented West Indies and New Zealand.

Justin only met his great uncle once, when he was ten, but was aware of his exploits as a Test player.

"At the time, I was not so serious about cricket as I am now," he noted, adding: "I played it for fun and I knew he had played for the West Indies and New Zealand and the most training I would have had with him, so to speak, was a bit of cricket in the back yard.
