It all leads to that dream of making a World Cup.

Jersey will face Scotland, Netherlands, Italy and neighbours Guernsey next summer for a place in the T20 World Cup finals in India and Sri Lanka in 2026.

The top two from the group will progress, with Jersey having come fourth in qualifying in 2023 and been one win off making the knockout stages of the global qualifying tournament a year earlier.

“Playing against those kind of sides – Ireland, Scotland and Netherlands – it’s the games that you want to be part of as a player,” says Tribe.

“We have come very close to beating the likes of Scotland in the past and we know as a side we’re not far off it, so we always step out onto that field expecting to kind of come off it with a win in our hands.

“It’s those games that you gear up for over the winter, you do all your pre-season work for, so hopefully you can go out there and perform at the best you can on the day.”

“These world tournaments are so brutal now,” adds Carlyon.

“All these other sides are getting better and finding players and just getting stronger and stronger.

“In Jersey that’s different. The core squad of players are all from Jersey and all homegrown players, so we have to work hard and be professional and to compete with these sides.”
