Czech Cricket have announced their 14-member men’s national squad for the upcoming 6-nation Continental T20I cup to be hosted by Cricket Romania at Moara Vlasiei ground from September 01st – 06th, 2021. Romania will be hosting teams from Bulgaria, Malta, Czech Republic, Hungary and Luxembourg in the tournament, which will carry official T20I ranking points towards ICC Men’s T20I Team rankings table.
With travel restrictions getting a bit relaxed between European Union countries, many countries are now trying to arrange matches/series to make up for the disappointment of losing out on playing in the European sub-regional qualifiers for 2022 ICC Men’s T20 World Cup. Czech Republic hosted the 3-nation Central Europe Cup in May 2021 involving Luxembourg, while Bulgaria hosted the 4-nation Sofia T20I tournament in June 2021, that involved Romania. Malta have also been involved in T20Is in 2021, when they hosted Belgium in July 2021.
Czech Republic national squad players have been playing competitive domestic cricket at home in the past couple of months, and also took part in the ECS (European Cricket Series) T10 event.
