Guernsey got an opening win on the board against Bulgaria in the ICC Men’s T20 World Cup Sub-Regional Europe Qualifier.
They did so in convincing style too, taking the victory by eight wickets at Port Soif.
The tournament will play out over the next week with the 10 teams split into two groups, the winners of each meeting in the final for the chance to progress to the next competition on the long road to the 2026 T20 World Cup.
We caught up with Josh Butler following Guernsey’s excellent start to the @icc_europe Sub Regional Qualifier here in Guernsey.
