PNG favourites on home soil, News Update - Cricket More
The chances for the smaller cricket nations to reach the World Twenty20 in Sri Lanka have been reduced now that the tournament will again be a 12-team event rather than 16, but there are still two places up for grabs for Associate and Affiliate nations who are good enough.
Those from the Asia-Pacific region have reached their final stage of qualifying for the global play-off in UAE early next year. Vanuatu, Fiji, Samoa, Japan and hosts Papua New Guinea will take part in a four-day event in Port Moresby to determine which team travels to the Middle East.
Papua New Guinea have sped up the rankings in the last 12 months and now sit at No. 19 in the world, but that success brings with it added pressure of being hosts and favourites.
According to wicketkeeper Jack Vare, preparations have been going exceptionally well for the team who are coached by Andy Bichel and are determined not to waste an opportunity to perform at their peak on the turf wickets of Amini Park and Colts Cricket Ground.
“Representing your country in front of your family and friends is a great honour,” said Vare “It is great to be able to show them the exciting and entertaining brand of cricket the Hebou Barramundi’s can play and demonstrating the spirit of PNG through the game of cricket. Although there is the added pressure of playing on home soil I know all the players are excited and looking forward to the tournament.”
Fiji are looming as the side most capable of toppling the seemingly invincible PNG side. With an extremely busy international schedule ahead for the national team in the next three months including the tournament in PNG, the South Pacific Games and then World Cricket League Division 6, preparation has been more important than ever before and all-rounder Kitione Tavo is happy with the level the team has reached.
“Training has been good and I think our preparation is going well,” said Tavo. “There’s a great feeling amongst the team this year.”
Fiji has also been boosted by the return of two players that have been out of the national side for a number of years. Most notably fast bowler Imran Kahn returns after a six year absence teaching in the USA, and Jikoi Kida returns after a stint in Egypt with the Fijian army.
Japan will enter the tournament with newfound confidence after an intense couple of months of training since their last tournament. It has been well documented that Japan performed considerably below the standard they expect of themselves at the recent World Cricket League Division 7 event in Botswana, however coach Chris Ferguson is confident his side can learn from the mistakes made at that tournament and begin the re-building process in PNG.
