The players have been drafted and will play for the following cricket clubs:
Deno Baker – Shelley Cricket Club
Jemuel Cabey – Haywards Heath Cricket Club
KasJuan Sullivan – Berkhamsted Cricket Club
Kriston Yearwood – Pentwortham Cricket Club

In 2021, the DCYSS provided financial support which assisted the Montserrat Cricket Association in executing planned activities to include an 8 week 50 Over and T20 Tournament in addition to supporting three (3) individuals to pursue similar opportunities in the United Kingdom.
The department remains committed to supporting opportunities for advancing sports and the careers of our young sporting professionals in all areas.
We take this time to wish the cricketers every success as their continued development positively contributes to the overall development of cricket and sports on Montserrat.”
