Players have been short listed based on their performances during the indoor season; nevertheless, the national coaches will connect with every player to establish a development agenda through
the outdoor season - so final travel to the tournament is not an automatic right, all players are required to keep practising and join as many Colts games as possible, to prove that they are
worthy of the national side.
For those who have not been shortlisted, we encourage you to continue practising and playing Colts cricket, since you are on call, in the event of injuries or drop outs.
Accommodation
Proposed accommodation details will be shared shortly. Budget is expected to be similar to that in 2014.
Vinod Unikkadath will be in touch with each of the players (and parents), to confirm logistics and
deposit payments for this tournament.
Officials
Officials for the tournament have been named as follows:
| Name | Country | |
| 1 | Peter de Boeck | Belgium |
| 2 | Stephen Tovey | Holland |
| 3 | Alexander Mackay | Switzerland |
