Officials to Represent Bermuda at the ICC Americas Division 2 Championship

The BCB is pleased to announce that Mr. Richard Austin has been selected from the ICC Americas 'A' Panel of Umpires to officiate at the ICC Americas Division 2 Championship. The Division 2 Championship is made up of teams from Brazil, Panama, Surinam, Bahamas and the Turks and Caicos. The tournament is scheduled to take place February 1 - February 6, 2010 in the Bahamas.

Additionally, the BCB has secured a major feat for its stakeholders by creating an opportunity for two Bermudian scorers. The BCB is delighted to be able to send Ms. Lovett Dickinson from St. Georges CC and Mr. Llewellyn Hall from Western Stars, to score at the ICC Americas Division 2 Championship.  This follows the success in October 2009 when the BCB successfully negotiated the opportunity to send two Bermudian umpires to Chile to officiate the ICC Americas Region Division 3 Championship.

President of the Bermuda Cricket Board, Mr. Reginald Pearman stated,

"I am delighted to see that Bermudian officials are getting recognition and experience at the international level. This is the first time the BCB has been able to send two scorers to an international tournament. Part of the BCB's Development Plan is to increase exposure for our officials and I would like to thank Neil and the BCB staff who continuously create these opportunities for our local officials."
