Derbyshire CC set for Barbados pre-season

Published on 07/11/2012 08:33

Derbyshire are set for a return to Barbados as Karl Krikken’s men follow the same pre-season formula that worked so affectively ahead of the recent title-winning campaign.

The squad will make for the Caribbean on Monday, 11th March to return on Saturday, 23rd March after an intense period of warm weather preparation for the new season.

The trip marks the fourth consecutive year that Derbyshire have toured Barbados following successful tours in 2010, 2011 and 2012.

A combination of English and local opposition are set to take part in the schedule which will see Derbyshire contest a brace of two-day fixtures, a 40 over match and the showpiece Twenty20 tournament at the Kensington Oval.

Head Coach Karl Krikken said: “Barbados is a tried and tested pre-season venue for several counties and it provides ideal preparation ahead of a challenging domestic campaign.

“To be guaranteed good weather and consequently time on the field is extremely important for our players at this critical time of year.

“We’ve certainly felt the benefit from previous visits and it’s telling that the 2012 trophy winners – Hampshire, Warwickshire and Derbyshire – all toured Barbados during pre-season, as did Yorkshire who won promotion from the Second Division and reached Friends Life t20 Finals Day.

“It’s an intense itinerary and one that gives us the best possible chance of hitting the ground running for First Division cricket in 2013, as well as giving our supporters some meaningful cricket to follow as the season approaches.

“There was plenty of interest from the public back home last year, none more so than when we won a last ball thriller in the Twenty20 Plate Final versus Hampshire. I’m sure there’ll be more exciting cricket and more excitement to come in 2013.”

Booking details for supporters who wish to travel – and a full itinerary - will be available at derbyshireccc.com in the coming days.
