Jersey, with Tony Carlyon bowling, on their way to a World Cricket League Division V victory over the USA at the FB Fields in 2008

JERSEY will play their next Pepsi ICC World Cricket League Division V campaign in Nepal, South Asia, in January next year.

And if the Channel Islanders are successful they will move on to Italy for the Division IV tournament in June 2010.

The ICC released the programme today together with announcing that the United Arab Emirates have been invited to host the ICC World Twenty20 2010 qualifier and that the United States of America, who the Jersey Cricket Board team defeated in last year’s WCL Division V tournament in Jersey, have been invited to participate.

Jersey also finished above the USA in the Division V table by finishing runners-up and gaining promotion, although they were later relegated from Division IV.

Jersey director of cricket Chris Minty said: ‘The two venues for the WCL are very interesting, they are countries you would not expect to go to play cricket in and I assume they have been chosen as part of each countries development.’
