CT20: Schedule released for Sharks' Caribbean campaign
The West Indies Cricket Board have released the draft playing schedule for Sussex Sharks in the Caribbean Twenty20, which takes place between January 9th and 22nd 2012.
Sussex have been drawn in ‘Zone B’ of the tournament and will open their campaign against the Netherlands in Antigua on Tuesday 10th January and then take on Jamaica two days later.
The Sharks will then face Combined Campuses & Colleges on Saturday 14th January before travelling onto Barbados to face the islanders themselves, who whilst hosting the second stage of the tournament, are likely to include former Shark Dwayne Smith amongst their ranks.
If Sussex win the group or finish as runners-up, they will then go on to play a semi-final match on Saturday 21st January before the final on the Sunday of that weekend.
Sussex’s skipper Michael Yardy said of the group, “We’re very much looking forward to the opportunity of testing ourselves against some impressive outfits in this tournament. We have got possibly the tougher of the two groups though we are confident we can progress. It gives us chance to test ourselves in different conditions against strong opposition and will enable us to learn about the depth in the squad.”
