Glamorgan's Asa Tribe and fellow professional Nick Greenwood are among the Jersey squad for their opening round of ICC Challenge League A fixtures in Kenya later this month.

The islanders, who reached the final stage of European qualification for the 2026 T20 World Cup earlier this summer, won their ICC Challenge League in 2022.

The event sees two groups of six teams play three tournaments, with the winners of each group progressing to the next stage of qualifying for the Cricket World Cup.

Jersey will face Papua New Guinea, Kuwait, Kenya, Denmark and Qatar three times over the next two years, with each side playing one another once each tournament.

"We’re looking forward to competing in Africa again and getting our 50-over campaign under way," said Jersey head coach Paul Hutchison.

"The squad has performed well in the warm-up fixtures in Zimbabwe and will be strengthened by the arrival of Charles Perchard, Nick Greenwood and Asa Tribe.

"Everyone has acclimatised well and the younger players Stan Norman, Paddy Gouge, Will Perchard and Charlie Brennan continue to impress and perform well.”

Jersey begin against the hosts on Wednesday before facing Qatar a day later.

They meet Papua New Guinea in their third game on Saturday before taking on Kuwait on Tuesday 1 October and ending against Denmark on Saturday 5 October.

Jersey squad:

Chuggy Perchard (capt), Dan Birrell, Charlie Brennan, Harrison Carlyon, Jake Dunford, Paddy Gouge, Nick Greenwood, Jonty Jenner, Josh Lawrenson, Stan Norman, Will Perchard, Julius Sumerauer, Asa Tribe, Zak Tribe.
