With the tournament to get under way tomorrow, Canada left yesterday. We understand that Mark Montford may have replaced Cecil Pervez in the Canada squad due to injury.
\nThe Cayman Compass suggests their team is looking for an upset:-
\n\u201cIt is going to be a big ask for our guys,\u201d said (coach) Anderson. \u201cWe have prepared as best we can, but we are up against teams that have professional players, country players and quadruple our funding.\u201d He said Cayman\u2019s best chance was to sneak under the radar and hope that teams underestimate them.

\nMeanwhile the Royal Gazette reports that the Bermuda captain Dion Stovell is out of the tournament
\n“Dion Stovell has been ruled out of the ICC T20 World Cup Americas Qualifier in Bermuda.The Bermuda cricket captain has been declared unfit to participate in the upcoming tournament because of a concussion he suffered after being struck on the head in Cup Match at Wellington Oval.

\nOur own Eddie Norfolk has provided some notes on Bermuda’s Delray Rawlins:-
\nDelray Rawlins, selected to play for Bermuda in the Americas T20 Final, has had some recent success with the bat for Sussex, although out for a duck this week in the Vitality Blast (T20) game with Surrey (Aug 15). He began August with a Player of the Game award for taking Sussex to victory with 35* against Gloucester (Aug 4). His 18* helped his team to a Blast win over Middlesex.
\nRawlins posted 100 in a losing cause against Lancashire in Division Two of the County Championship. It was his first century in first-class and followed his 56 and 20* in a loss against Durham. He also made 69 against Australia A.
\nHe has not bowled in many recent games but did end Cameron Bancroft\u2019s innings of 158 for Durham and ended with 3 wickets for 19 in that innings. Sussex lost by 196 runs to Durham, whose win was based on Bancroft\u2019s first-innings 158 and Ned Eckersley\u2019s 118.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
