The Spain Over 40’s side head to the Netherlands next week in the hope of retaining the Four Nations Trophy that they won in Denmark last time around.
This years competition will take place at the prestigious Sparta club in Rotterdam between the 20th and 25th of July.
The taxing schedule will see Spain play games every day against Holland, England and Denmark.
Team manager George Wambeek has assembled a team from Ibiza, La Manga, Sporting Alfas and Lanzarote and umpires Dave Riley (Torrevieja) and Mohammad Adnan Khan (Cataluyna) will be officiating in the event.
Cricket Espana have assisted with transport costs for the squad for the event which Spain hosted a few years ago when a side from Victoria Australia competed. Next year’s event is already scheduled for the UK as the tournament becomes more and more popular.
