Tribe in Jersey team for World Cup Challenge final round

Batter Asa Tribe has been named in Jersey's 14-man squad for the final round of the World Cup Challenge League A in Nairobi later this month.

Tribe, 22, has not played for Jersey since their defeat against the Netherlands in July 2025 but has since become a regular for England Lions while playing county cricket for Glamorgan.

However there is no place in the squad for all-rounder Nick Greenwood, who is currently playing his club cricket in Wellington, New Zealand.

"We have selected a well balanced squad," said head coach Neil McRae. "The squad is looking to build on the experience gained in competitive 50-over fixtures during the summer with strong performances in Kenya this month."

Jersey are top of the Challenge League A heading into the final stages of qualifying for the 50-over Cricket World Cup in 2027.

They will play two warm-up matches against Ugandan opposition before the first of their five matches in the final round begins on 23 October against Papua New Guinea in Nairobi.

They will also take on hosts Kenya, Kuwait, Denmark and Qatar.

Jersey have so far won eight of their 10 matches in the league, with the top two of the six teams in their group progressing to the World Cup qualifier play-off.

Jersey squad:

Charles Perchard (c), Toby Britton, Charlie Brennan, Harrison Carlyon, Jake Dunford (wk), Jonty Jenner, Josh Lawrenson, Will Perchard, George Richardson, Julius Sumerauer, Asa Tribe, Zak Tribe, Scott van Breda, Ben Ward.
