Four of Bermuda’s finest young cricketers will be given a tremendous opportunity to broaden their horizons when they join up with an ICC Americas team to take on the might of the Caribbean at the under-19 level.

Tre Manders, Delray Rawlins, Onias Bascome and Micah Simons jet off for Guyana on Cup Match weekend to play their roles in a 50-overs competition that will be host to future West Indies Test cricketers, the majority of whom are busy with the closing stages of the regional three-day tournament, suggesting that they should lack little for temperament.

Of the Bermuda contingent, Simons will travel on Friday, the second day of Cup Match, with Allan Douglas, the designated Bermuda coach, while the others will make their way the day after.

Manders and Bascome played Cup Match last year, for Somerset and St George’s respectively, while Rawlins, the Cleveland County spinner, will be involved in the final trial in the east and has a chance of forcing his way into the challengers’ side.

The group might have been larger had the West Indies Cricket Board allowed Christian Burgess and Joshua Gilbert, who were deemed too old for the competition, while it was decided that Kamau Leverock would be better served remaining in England, where he has become part of the MCC Young Cricketers set-up.

The competition will run from August 4 to 13.
