Squads from Somerset and Hampshire are now on the island for the matches which come ahead of a busy summer for Guernsey that includes hosting a European sub-regional qualifier in August for the 2025 ICC Men’s T20 World Cup.

Action was due to begin yesterday, but the clash between Guernsey and Hampshire Academy was postponed.

A 50 over match between the two visiting sides is scheduled to begin at 11.50am today.

Guernsey open with a T20 against Hampshire from 13:15 tomorrow and then Somerset at 16:15.
