The Island’s senior cricketers face the latest test of their desire to represent Bermuda tonight.After the scrapping of the short-lived Elite Player League, which was beset by player pull-outs and fan apathy, the national squad will square off at 6.30pm in the first of four Twenty20 trial matches to be played at the National Sports Centre.With the ICC Americas Division One tournament little more than a month away the games have been designed to help head coach David Moore pick his 14-man squad for the competition in Florida.As the only form of the game in which Bermuda can now compete on the world stage, next month’s tournament will also serve as the regional qualifiers for the Twenty20 World Cup Global Qualifiers in Dubai early next year.After the team’s relegation in April the squad could have been subjected to wholesale changes although, in reality, there are likely to be only five or six spots up for grabs. The likes David Hemp, Dion Stovell, Chris Foggo, Malachi Jones, Rodney Trott, Joshua Gilbert, Kyle Hodsoll and Lionel Cann are all expected to be included in Moore’s final squad.St David’s pair Delyone Borden and Justin Pitcher would also be in most people’s teams, but Pitcher has some ground to make up after missing training this winter, while Borden has gone missing for both club and country on several occasions already this season.The spinner missed a mandatory practice session last night and after also missing his club side’s Twenty20 match on Sunday his whereabouts are unknown.Of the other hopefuls, Chris Douglas is certainly good enough to be included, although it would need the Willow Cuts batsmen to do a U-turn after retiring from international cricket last year.St George’s skipper Oronde Bascome has also pushed his case strongly in the past couple of weeks, and if the EPL achieved anything positive it was in showing that he might now be ready for a return to the national team.The most telling aspect of this evening’s game will be how many of the 24 invited players turn up. The squad has been split into two teams, with Stephen Outerbridge captaining the Blues and Rodney Trott taking charge of the Reds.“We had a decent turnout (at practice),” said Moore, “I would always like more, but I thought what we achieved was pretty good. I’m hoping to be able to have two teams, I’ll be shattered if we don’t get two teams made up of 24 guys who want to play for Bermuda.”Yesterday ICC Americas released the schedule for next month’s tournament, which will see Bermuda compete with USA, Argentina, Suriname and Cayman Islands for two spots at the global qualifiers.Canada are already through, courtesy of their current world ranking, so Bermuda need to be among the top two of the rest of the teams.Bermuda begin their campaign against Suriname at the Boca Raton Cricket Club On Monday, July 18, and end it against Cayman Islands at Central Broward Regional Park Stadium on Saturday 23.“It’s not an easy draw, we’ve got a fair bit on our plate there,” said Moore. “You’ve got two of the three most competitive teams at the front of the draw, we’ve got to be focused for all of those.“For the T20 format you just don’t know what it can throw up, and I would suggest all five of those teams that we are playing are dangerous teams.”Blue Team: S Outerbridge (Captain), C Douglas, D Hollis, F Crockwell, Deunte Darrell, L Cann, Chris Foggo, D Borden, D Leverock, M Jones, G O’Brien, K Hodsoll, K Tucker, D Musson Jr.Red Team: R Trott, D Stovell, O Bascome, OJ Pitcher, K Leverock, I Romaine, S Robinson, J Anderson, J Gilbert, K Fubler, J Pitcher, J DeSilva, B Outerbridge, L Trott.
