Guernsey have named an experienced squad for their T20 World Cup qualifying tournament in Cyprus.

Led by captain Ollie Nightingale, 11 of the 14-man party were part of the Guernsey side that reached the final round of European qualifying for the 2026 T20 World Cup last summer.

Guernsey are one of 10 teams playing in Europe Sub-regional Qualifier A, starting this weekend – with the winners progressing to the final round of European qualifying next year.

They are in a pool alongside Austria, Malta, Slovenia and Sweden, with the group winner going through to the final against the winner of the other pool which includes Channel Island rivals Jersey.

Lucas Barker, Oliver Clapham and Ed Robinson come into the squad from their last international tournament in place of Ben Fitchet, Harry Johnson and Anthony Stokes.

But seasoned campaigners such as Adam Martel, Ben Ferbrache, Zak Damarell and Josh Butler are in the squad as Guernsey aim to reach the final round of European qualifying for the second time in their history.

Guernsey’s first qualifier is against Sweden on Saturday, 16th May.

Guernsey squad:

Lucas Barker, Luke Bichard, Martin-Dale Bradley, Alex Bushell, Josh Butler, Oliver Clapham, Zak Damarell, Ben Ferbrache, Charlie Forshaw, Adam Martel, Ollie Nightingale (capt), Tom Nightingale, Ed Robinson, Matt Stokes.
