Allan Douglas, BCB Chair of High Performance, said: “As Bermuda embarks upon this frontier changing adventure, I want to say that the BCB has made a great effort to put in place as many resources as possible to make this a success for cricket and our country.
“It’s incumbent of all the players, committee members, management team and support staff to give their all to reach this goal.
“I would like to encourage all that have been approached, selected and others that are seriously being considered, to recognize that Bermuda through the sport of cricket will be televised to millions of people around the world. Come along, enjoy the process, and commit to success for yourself first, family and country.”
“As we prepare for upcoming matches and journey to qualify for the World Cup, it would be extremely important for us to create stability in the team”, said National Team Coach, Niraj Odedra.
“With stability comes trust from players towards support staff and management. We have already identified players who will get us to the World Cup and our core of six or seven players is going to be the same as what we had during the Regional Qualifier in Argentina. I have said it in the past, and I am saying it again — to achieve something big we need to stay united and that applies to all of the players, staff, management, media and the people of Bermuda.”
Dwayne Leverock, Chairman of Selectors, added: “On behalf of the selectors, I would like to congratulate the players that have been selected for the Regional World Cup Final in Bermuda. In the next four months, during the domestic league season, the committee will also be keeping a watchful eye out for any other players that are deemed worthy of selection.”
Captain, Delray Rawlins, said: “I’m really looking forward to these next four months with this group. It’s an honour to lead them and I have a really strong feeling that something special is going to come out of this tournament.”
The spokesperson said, “Matches will be held between White Hill Field [Somerset Bridge Recreation Club] and the Bermuda National Sports Center [North Field].
