Mr. Reginald Pearman, BCB President stated:
This is the fourth year our U13 National Squad has been invited to take part in the U13 St. Kitts and Nevis Cricket Festival. The competition offers an excellent introduction to international competition for this age group. For many of the younger players this is the first time they will compete outside of Bermuda at the National level and will have the chance to mix with other young cricketers from around the West Indies.
The U13 Programme started in 2004 and since then we have already seen players progress to the senior level such as Joshua Gilbert and Christian Burgess. Under the guidance of Coach Clay Smith and Assistant Coach Reggie Tucker, the team has worked hard, training intensively in preparation for the event and I look forward to watching their performance this year. I would also like to take this time to thank the parents for their contribution to this tour and their support of the U13 National Team Programme.
