Adverse weather has forced tournament organisers to radically overhaul the 2026 North American Cup schedule, triggering a grueling run of back-to-back fixtures across three consecutive days.
With rain washing out initial fixtures, Bermuda, Cayman Islands, and the Bahamas now face congested double-headers in a bid to complete the group phase ahead of the weekend knockout matches.
Bermuda will open the revised itinerary on Wednesday, 23 September, facing the Cayman Islands twice in the space of a few hours. The morning clash is scheduled for 10:00 local time, followed by a swift turnaround before the second meeting at 14:30.
The burden then shifts directly to Cayman on Thursday, 24 September, when they take on the Bahamas under the same testing morning-and-afternoon schedule (10:00 and 2:30).
Bermuda will conclude the preliminary phase on Friday, September 25th, meeting the Bahamas in another double-header at 10:00 and 2:30 to determine the final standings.
Squad depth and recovery protocols will be stretched to the limit, with all three sides forced to navigate 140-plus overs of cricket inside 36 hours.
