The Barramundis are all set and ready for the T20 World Cup East-Asia Pacific Qualifier in Japan from the 8th-18th of May, following the announcement of their 14-member team yesterday, Wednesday 29th April.

Head Coach, Tim MCaskill is very impressed with how things are going with the boys, especially the players that made it into the final squad. He says, their on-field and off-the-field behaviour is so impressive with everyone staying composed and focused on their performances and obviously making the country proud.

“Everything that I’ve seen to date has been really positive. We’ve got these young guys that are curious to learn and obviously driven for success and then the other thing that we’ve got is a group of the older players that have come into the squad, and sort of energized the young guys,” said the Coach.

With four new faces in the team and with the mixture of experienced and young players, it really shows the depth the team is continuing to build through their programs and competitions.

“I’m confident that what we’ve being putting together and what we’ve been building around our team at the moment is setting us up for success. We saw it in Mackay, and we knew that it worked there, and we’re confident that it’s going to work well,” adds McCaskill.

The team is well balanced and fortunate, having the likes of Tony Ura, Sese Bau, and the ever-reliable Assadollah Vala as captain of the team. It’s a big bonus for the team, especially the younger players and McCaskill as the coach. He says with Assad, he knows the game well and is well respected in the team. With his leadership on the field, the coach is confident that they have a chance of winning their games.
