Lauderhill T20 cricket bowls off

The City of Lauderhill in South Florida is known as Cricket Capital of the United States of America and its long-standing T20 Night Cricket tradition continues for the 15th year starting on Saturday, February 25, 2017 at the Lauderhill Sports Park.

Teams representing the Combined Islands, Guyana, India, Jamaica, Pakistan and Trinidad & Tobago will compete for the 2017 Championship Trophy.

The traditional tournament All-Star game featuring the North Invitational Youth XI against South Invitational Youth XI will bowl off the tournament while the first competition fixture will be a clash of last year semi-finals Jamaica and Guyana. Jamaica will be seeking to reverse the results from last year after persistent heavy showers left the Lauderhill Sports Park outfield in unplayable condition. The match was declared abandoned and Guyana advanced to the finals due to a better net run rate. Jamaica will be captain by Steven Taylor who recently returned from representing the Jamaica Scorpions in the just concluded West Indies Regional Super50 Tournament.

On Saturday, March 4, 2017 the Combined Islands will play India followed by Guyana versus Trinidad and Tobago.
