Bahamas re-emerge on International circuit in Bermuda tour

For Bermuda Cricket Board, it was a trial to test both players and facilities ahead of the ICC Men’s T20 World Cup Americas regionals finals in Aug 2019, as it hosted Bahamas national squad for a series of 4 T20 games and a solitary OD (50-overs) game.

The first three games were held at White Hill Field in Sandys Parish in western Bermuda, while the last two games were held at the National Sports Centre in Devonshire.
