Bermuda Announce Squads for Canada Tour

The squads to face Canada in the Intercontinental Cup match this weekend and to participate in the ICC Americas Division I Championship have been announced. Irving Romaine will remain the captain of the team for both competitions, and a strong squad has been named for each. Many of the players are coming off a multi-day warmup in the famous "Cup Match" between St. George's and Somerset Cricket Clubs in Bermuda. Of note is the inclusion of bowlers Saleem Mukuddem and Dwayne Leverock - men who have confounded Canadian batsmen in the past, most notably in a 2005 Intercontinental Cup match. Janeiro Tucker is also a danger for Canadian hopes, as he scored 123 runs in the second innings of last year's match in leading Bermuda to a tight victory.
