ICC Europe/Cricket Europe
4 September 2009 (extract)

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Cyprus host their first international cricket tournament when it stages the second ICC European Division 4 Championship.  
 
For the winners of the six-team tournament it is automatic promotion to the Division 3 tournament in 2011 and the hosts, who played in the last championships at that level, will be keen to make an immediate return. They will have five opponents with Finland, the other team relegated from Division 3 in 2007, likely to be their chief rivals, plus Luxembourg, Slovenia, Austria and Switzerland.
 
Finland have only five of the team that lost their place in Division 3 two years ago but have the nucleus of the squad that hosted the European Indoor Championship in Kuortane last year. They have also appointed their youngest ever captain, Jonathan Scamans who only turns 20 the day before the tournament begins and, in all, have selected nine players who are 25 years of age or younger. Scamans, significantly, is the one Finland-born player in the squad.   
 
All the games will be played on the three adjacent pitches at Happy Valley, just outside Limassol, with every team playing on all five days of competition in a round-robin format.
