GUERNSEY’S 12-man squad for next weekend’s inter-insular in Jersey sees a return to a full ‘open-to-all’ policy.

For last year’s encounter at KGV, which Guernsey won, only ICC-qualified players were considered, with that match falling just before the World Cricket League Division Six event in Singapore.

But this year, everybody was considered and the squad reflects the strongest performers this year in Guernsey cricket.

It contains possibly as many as four new caps in Atchison, Tim Ravenscroft, Tom Kimber and Jonny Warr, who was in the squad of 13 last year but did not play.

Why a Kiwi? Plenty of home-grown local talent available.

I can’t see a wicketkeeper in the 12?
