Jersey team ‘the major threat’

JERSEY pose one of the biggest threats to a home victory in the World Cricket League Division V tournament which starts today in Nepal.

That is the view of Nepal head coach Roy Dias who has named Jersey and America as two nations who could scupper his country’s promotion prospects.

Dias, who played 20 Tests and 56 One-Day internationals for Sri Lanka, said: ‘Jersey and the USA will pose a threat in this tournament, but to be fair it will probably just come down to the day as to who will prove to be the best side.

‘It is important we do well and if we can win the tournament my players and I will be delighted.’

NEPAL!! Super power of non-test cricket??! ROFL. Tell that to Ireland, Scotland or Holland. They would destroy you. LOL.

With due respect, playing in Division 5 means there are 20 or so non-test playing sides better than Nepal!
