The Bermuda Cricket Board has officially released the transfer list for the 2026 season, and the headlines belong to a seismic shift in power. St. David’s Cricket Club, the reigning 2025 champions, have seen their title-winning core dismantled, losing five key players to their fiercest rivals.
Somerset have emerged as the primary beneficiaries of the winter window, securing five high-caliber signings to bolster their bid for silverware. The most notable addition is Brianna Ray, who makes the move from Flatts Victoria, bringing elite international experience to the West End.
Ray is joined by a quartet of battle-tested domestic stars, including Warwick Workmen's duo Callum MacFarlane and Zeri Tomlinson, the latter of whom has recently signed with Papplewick and Linby Cricket Club in India
If Somerset are building for the future, the Southampton Rangers are built for the "now." The Rangers have pulled off a series of spectacular coups, signing five players with extensive National Team and Cup Match pedigree.
The marquee signing is undoubtedly Delray Rawlins, the former Sussex professional and current Bermuda captain, who moves from Bailey's Bay. He is joined by the explosive Allan Douglas Jr. and the Bascome brothers—Onias and Oronde—both of whom were instrumental in St. David’s championship run last summer.
In a move that will delight the fans at St. John's Field, Tre Manders has confirmed his return to Western Stars. The National team and Somerset Cup Match stalwart ends his stint with St. David’s to lead a new-look Stars side.
Manders, widely regarded as one of the island's most technically gifted batsmen, is expected to step straight back into a leadership role as Stars look to break back into the league's upper echelons.
The departure of the Bascome brothers and Manders leaves a gaping hole in the St. David’s lineup. Having lost five championship-winning players in a single window, the 2025 winners now face the daunting task of a complete rebuild before their title defense begins in April.
