Jersey Cricket is delighted to announce its men’s squad for a prestigious fixture against the Marylebone Cricket Club (MCC) to be played on Thursday 16 April at the iconic Lord’s Cricket Ground.
The fixture represents a significant moment for Jersey Cricket, reflecting a long-standing and highly valued relationship with the MCC. The MCC’s commitment to the Spirit of Cricket and its global stewardship of the game continues to play an important role in strengthening the game worldwide, and Jersey Cricket is proud to be part of that partnership.
CEO Sarah Gomersall said: “Playing at Lord’s, the Home of Cricket, is a special honour and I would like to acknowledge and thank Dean Morrison for his support in making this fixture possible.
“The occasion offers players and everyone involved a unique opportunity to experience one of the most historic venues in world sport, adding further significance to an already meaningful fixture.
“It also provides an opportunity to recognise the contribution of Jersey-based officials, with Mr R L Stockton and Mr S Selvachandran appointed as umpires and Mr Y N Patel as scorer.”
More broadly, the fixture forms a key part of Jersey’s preparation for the ICC Men’s T20 World Cup Sub Regional Europe Qualifier in May, providing high quality opposition and a valuable early-season test for the squad.
It also comes ahead of an exciting weekend of cricket, with Scotland A visiting the island to play four T20 matches at Grainville on Saturday 18 and Sunday 19 April.
The squad also includes a debut call-up for promising fast bowler Luke Bosio, a proud moment in his cricketing career. Bosio becomes the first men’s player from Chirpy’s Cricket Club, established in 2017, to be selected for Jersey at senior level, marking a notable milestone for both player and club.
Jersey Cricket looks forward to welcoming guests, family, and friends to Lord’s for what promises to be a memorable day, marking the start of the men’s cricket season with competitive and entertaining cricket both on and off the island.
