Moreover, to identify and agree the roles and responsibilities of each party as they relate to their common aim of promoting cricket in Bermuda generally, and in the Counties in particular.
President of the Bermuda Cricket Board, Lloyd Smith said, “As I came on as President, I understood that we had a lack of communication between the association, county groups, as well as the Evening Cricket League, so one of my goals were to have an agreement with all the other entities of cricket.”

Via this MOU, we can ensure that both entities continue to foster our mutually beneficial relationships.
Executive Director Cal Blankendal added, “The cooperation between all three organizations will lead to more efficiency, unity, and sharing of best practices and human resources for the greater good of the game in cricket in Bermuda.”
