The International Cricket Council (ICC) today announced the six squads that will travel to Malaysia for Pepsi ICC World Cricket League (WCL) Division 3, which will be played from October 23rd to 30th.
Bermuda, Nepal, Singapore, Uganda, USA and host Malaysia will lock horns in the eight-day round robin tournament to earn a top two finish, and ultimately gain promotion to Pepsi ICC World Cricket League Division 2, which will be played in Namibia from January 17th 2015.
The Pepsi World Cricket League Division 2 is the final step in the qualification pathway to the ICC’s four-day, first class competition for Associate and Affiliate Members, the ICC Intercontinental Cup, as well as the 50-over Pepsi ICC World Cricket League Championship.
With the ICC release of the teams reveals yet another change to the Bermuda squad, but the confusion is that the Bermuda Cricket Board sent out a Press Release yesterday reporting the pictures from the Awards Ceremony were posted, but nothing about the change.
The original squad announced Monday, September 22nd, was Janeiro Tucker (Captain), Dion Stovell, Lionel Cann, Allan Douglas Jr., Terryn Fray, Tre’Manders, Christian Burgess, Fiqre Crockwell, Kamau Leverock, Delray Rawlins, Malachi Jones, Jordan DeSilva, Kamal Bashir and Del Hollis.
On Thursday, October 9th, the Board announced Temiko Wilson was replacing Fiqre Crockwell who withdrew from the team, but the team released by the ICC has yet another change.
Bermuda Team: Janeiro Tucker (captain), Onias Bascome, Kamal Bashir, Christian Burgess, Lionel Cann, Jordan Desilva, Allan Douglas II, Terryn Fray, Malachi Jones, Kamau Leverock, Tre Manders, Delray Rawlins, Dion Stovell and Delano Talbot.
Attempts to contact the CEO of the Bermuda Cricket Board Neil Speight have yet to materialize however we do intend to continue.
