Following this event the BCB has organized with the USA a four-match 50 over series in preparation for the ICC World Cricket League Division 3 Tournament.
This will be a key part of the preparation plan. The squad returns to Bermuda on March 30th.
National Captain Stephen Outerbridge said, "I am looking forward to this important event as we aim to repeat our previous successful qualification to the global qualifier later this year. As the World Twenty20 in 2014 will feature 6 Associate and Affiliate nations rather than just 2 in 2012 the opportunities to progress to the world stage again are very encouraging and exciting."
