Players have been assigned teams for the inaugural Masters Twenty20 League which is set to start some time in June.

At the end six equally balanced teams were formed, captained by Cal Dill Jr, Grant Smith, Herbie Bascome, Ricky Hill, Kyle Lightbourne and Charlie Marshall.

They also have two female players in Wendy Woodley and Precious Smith.

Herbie Bascome will lead Soup’s Sportsmen where Gary Brangman, another former St George’s Cup Match opening bowler, will join the likes of Reginald Pitcher, Curtis Jackson, Derrick Wright, Dennis Williams, Dennis Wainwright Jr, Allen Richardson, Barry Richards and Carlton Smith.
