Cubans have come back and suggested that the tour takes place in their winter before May as the weather can bit iffy in May & June. So maybe CNY next year. They also mention that New Year’s Eve in Havana is pretty special. They are suggesting a triangular tournament together with the Cayman Islands who also want to tour around the same time so possibility some Bashers can pick up two Intl caps. The tour would be organised through the Caribbean Association to which Cuba belong as cricket is not yet an official sport recognized by the Govt although the Govt Sports Institution would help with logistics. Americans are welcome (Tank:take note).

They tell me decent accommodation for around US$40-50 per head and booze is cheap. Nightlife is “lively” so read into that what you may.

Loose needs to start marshalling the troops when he gets back and give me some date preferences.

Last time I checked we had around US$4K in sponsorship commitments which is a start. This could get quite high profile if we actually go through with it as the Cubans would also want to use as an opportunity to get some press for their cricket.

All three squads up this weekend after a long lay off so get along to training this Thursday.

San He Hua Yuan Tennis Courts, 123 Yanping Road 6pm – 8pm

The Camel after for Argentina – Korea, Greece – Nigeria and France – Mexico
