Jersey Set to Welcome Nepal for Exciting DFDS Summer Series at Grainville
Jersey Cricket is looking forward to welcoming Nepal to the Island for the DFDS Summer Series, with two international matches taking place at NCC Grainville on Monday 13th July and Wednesday 15th July.
The fixtures form an important part of Nepal's preparations for the upcoming ICC Cricket World Cup League 2 matches in the Netherlands, with the visiting side spending a week in Jersey ahead of the tournament. The series also provides Jersey with a valuable opportunity to test themselves against one of Associate cricket's most passionate and well-supported nations.
Both matches will begin at 11:00am, with spectators encouraged to come along and enjoy what promises to be an excellent showcase of international cricket. For those unable to attend in person, both fixtures will be live-streamed with full commentary, allowing fans around the world to follow the action.
Jersey Head Coach, Neil MacRae believes the series is another significant step in the team's continued development.
‘We are looking forward to Nepal arriving for the two 50-over matches. Nepal are an experienced ICC League 2 team who almost beat England at the recent ICC T20 World Cup. They will be strong opposition for our players as we start our Jersey Men’s 50 over international season.
‘We are hoping for a great atmosphere at Grainville with the home support and Nepalese fan enjoying exciting cricket.’
Nepal's visit further strengthens Jersey Cricket's growing reputation as a destination for high-quality international cricket, with the Island continuing to attract leading Associate nations for both competition and training.
The DFDS Summer Series promises two entertaining contests between ambitious Associate sides, with Jersey eager to make home advantage count against one of world cricket's most exciting teams.
