News: Bermuda to warm up in Trinidad for WCL ….

The itenerary is as follows:

January 8 – Bermuda depart
January 10 – Bermuda v Wanderers CC.
January 11 – Bermuda v Clarke Road United
January 16 and 17 – Bermuda v Clico Preysal
January 19 – Bermuda return
January 24 – Bermuda depart for World Cricket League tournament in Nairobi, Kenya

One has to hand it to the Bermuda board for getting the tours, and financial aspect of their newfound top flight cricket status in good order. Probably the only other country challenging them in this regard is Kenya. Both have money for tours, fully contracted national squads, and both HAVE toured in 2006 a lot.  However, their standard is pretty low, and it seems unlikely that they will improve in that in the short term. But that does not mean that they cannot carve out a niche for themselves against more realistic opposition at the momment.
