Bermuda cricket team assistant coach Cal Waldron is looking on the brighter side of the low turnout at the team’s training sessions.

The side has been holding indoor training at Bermuda High School for Girls in preparation for the ICC Men’s Cricket World Challenge League play-off, set for Malaysia in February.

So far, Waldron, who looks most likely to take charge of the team’s quest to remain in contention for a spot at the 2027 Cricket World, has not had a full compliment of players to work with. The highest attendance was recorded in the first session at Bermuda College, when 11 players pitched up, with a small number attending the last two.

Pace bowler Cejay Outerbridge has shown great commitment and attended all the training sessions.

“The last session went well with the personnel that showed up. They put in a good effort, so it was productive,’’ Waldron said.

“Those that are coming, we’re definitely working with them. It’s some kind of blessing because it gives you that individual one-on-one session, they get more attention and focus. Sometimes smaller numbers are better.”

At BHS, the team has able to utilise the nets, with batsmen facing deliveries from a bowling machine and actual bowlers.

The team is training again tonight, before players are given a break for Christmas. When the team reconvenes on January 5, Waldron is looking to intensify the sessions, with indoor workouts at BHS on Fridays and outdoor training at North Field, National Sports Centre, on Sundays.

“We’re back on January 5. We are doing full weekend, Friday and then on Sunday,’’ he added. “If the weather permits, we’ll be outdoors at the stadium. We’re going to have some fielding work and some sessions.

“We don’t need a whole lot of space for the fielding, so we’ll utilise whatever space is available at the stadium.”

In terms of player availability, Waldron indicated that the picture was a little bit clear. All-rounder Kamau Leverock remains a doubt, as he tries to break into one of the T20 franchise leagues dotted around the world.

“It’s somewhat clearer but we still have some logistics to work out with some guys that may change their status,’’ Waldron said.

“The office is working on that, hopefully they get that as soon as possible, but we’re still planning, looking at numbers and changing personnel.

“I haven’t personally spoke to him [Leverock]. I don’t think anything’s changed from our last conversation. If he’s available we’ll be able to utilise his services, that’s really up to him.”
