Bermuda national cricket team coach David Moore has named a 17-man squad for the Island’s upcoming Intercontinental Shield match with the UAE.

Moore said the squad would be trimmed prior the next Monday’s match with those players left out able to represent their domestic clubs this weekend.

He said: “The squad that has been selected is larger than usual, but this is to accommodate for the competition amongst the fast bowlers and the fact that some of the bowlers are returning from injury.”

Bermuda national team squad: David Hemp (captain), Stephen Outerbridge (Vice Captain), Chris Foggo, Fiqre Crockwell, Irving Romaine, Shannon Rayner, Terryn Fray, Jekon Edness, Rodney Trott, Joshua Gilbert, Tamauri Tucker, Stefan Kelly, Jordan DeSilva, Kevin Tucker, Jim West, Stephan Dill, Justin Pitcher.

Bermuda take on the UAE in the four-day Intercontinental Shield match from Monday at the National Sports Centre.
