The England Board XI today begins its campaign to try to win the European
Championships, which this year are being played in Scotland. Alongside
England, whose Board XI represents the highest achievement for an amateur
cricketer in this country, the competition features Denmark, Ireland,
Scotland, Italy and Holland, the reigning champions.
The England squad features five changes to the one which competed in the
Triple Crown event in Wales at the beginning July. The squad is as follows:
Carl Amos Norfolk Paul Bryson Cheshire Steve Foster (Capt) Northumberland Richard Howitt Lincolnshire Chris Boroughs Herefordshire Richard Halsall Sussex Stuart Stoneman Cheshire Chris Hall Cheshire Chris Mole (wk) Sussex Ian Parkin Derbyshire David Pennett Cumbria John Carruthers Yorkshire Marcus Sharp Cumbria Andy Pick (Coach)
The round-robin format sees each country play each other once in 50
overs-a-side games played to ICC regulations. The winner of each match
receives two points and one point is awarded for a tie or no result. The
country with the most points will be crowned European Champions. If two
teams finish with equal points, the tournament winner is decided by the
result of the game between those two teams.
