Jersey pick squad for T20 World Cup qualifiers
The Division Two event sees the top two sides from six taking part promoted to the top tier of qualifying in the Netherlands in August.
Jersey make one change from the squad that impressed in Cyprus last month where they won all six warm-up matches as Kate Follain makes her international debut.
Jersey face hosts Italy on Saturday in their opening game before taking on Germany, Spain, the Isle of Man and Sweden in the round-robin event.
"The squad has prepared really well over the winter and we're coming into this tournament on the back of some strong pre-season fixtures, which has given us confidence," head coach Darren Thomas said.
"It's a young group with lots of potential - they're settled, know each other well, and we've built a good team dynamic.
"As their exposure to competitive cricket continues to grow, the experience will stand them in good stead as we head into the European Qualifier."
Jersey squad:
Chloe Greechan (capt), Mia Maguire (wkpr), Aimee Aikenhead, Olivia Bastin, Kate Follain, Lily Greig, Nia Greig, Georgia Mallet, Analise Merritt, Annie Mossop, Trinity Smith, Tallulah Spry, Florence Tanguy, Grace Wetherall.

Real Madrid to bring back iconic colour scheme for 2026/27 away kit
The 2025-26 season has not yet begun and Real Madrid have their preparations running in full flow for the campaign ahead. Adidas, however, have already begun preparations for the team's jersey for the 2026-27 season and rightfully so. Designing a kit for a club of Real Madrid's stature, after all, requires a real eye for detail, hand for intricacy and a creative mind that can bring out ideas through vibrant colours and bold designs. While the home kit has traditionally remained white for Los Blancos, the away kit has provided designers with an open palate to put up bold designs. A unique colour Opaleak bring to light that Real Madrid's 2026-27 away kit will be no different. Adidas are reportedly set to hero the colour green in Real Madrid's away kit for the 2026-27 campaign and it will be a dark olive tinged shade of the colour that features. The plan is to bring a pattern inspired by the crest of the club for the jersey and the specific colour in use will be the Aurora Ivy shade. Notably, the jersey will be completed with the Trefoil logo instead of the traditional Adidas logo. Real Madrid had green jersey in the 2012-13 season. (Photo by) Green jerseys have not traditionally been worn by Real Madrid but that does not go to say that there is no history for Los Blancos with such a colour combination. Most notably, a similar combination was donned by Cristiano Ronaldo and Co. in the 2012-13 season on the away kit. Notably, a similar shade of green will also feature in a minor capacity in Real Madrid's home kit for the 2026-27 campaign although that design too is yet to be clearly known.

😅 "Don Rollo" on the shirt? Gladbach pull a fast one with this order
What actually happens when you order a jersey with "Don Rollo" as the jersey name in the official Gladbach store? This action is currently going viral on the net. In reference to Florian Neuhaus' video on Mallorca, in which he talked about his salary and referred to sports director Roland Virkus as "Don Rollo", content creator "Lackschuh" ordered a personalized jersey. The shirt was supposed to have the jersey number 4 and the name "Don Rollo". When the package arrived at "Lackschuh", there was a surprise. Because instead of the ordered jersey, there was a message from the club: "Hi Daniel (civil name of "Lackschuh"; note from the editor), nice try. The jersey is on us. You will of course get the amount refunded. Have fun with it." Instead of Don Rollo and the 4, the name of the content creator and the number 10 could be read. There was also an autograph card from Virkus. "How cool is Gladbach", the content creator was visibly surprised. This article was translated into English by Artificial Intelligence.

Maple Leafs' Nicolas Roy Explains Decision To Wear No. 55
When Nicolas Roy puts on a Toronto Maple Leafs jersey, he'll be wearing a number he has never worn in the NHL before. The player will wear No. 55, a number he last used while playing in Junior with the Chicoutimi Saguenéens of the QMJHL. Roy was a guest on Leafs Morning Take with hosts Nick Alberga and Jay Rosehill. When asked about the number's significance, Roy explained that when he played junior hockey as a 14-year-old, he was the youngest player and the last one picked. 'I ended up with 55 and was kind of surprised a little bit and didn't really like it at first," Roy said. "But by the time I played two years with it and then got to juniors, I picked it for four years. Then when I got to Vegas, obviously 55 was already picked, so I picked 10 and obviously couldn't get 10 in Toronto, so I went back with 55". Roy's No. 10, which he wore with the Vegas Golden Knights, was retired by the Maple Leafs in 2016 during a ceremony where all honored numbers became retired. The number was honored for George Armstrong and his tenure with Toronto. Since the 2019-20 season, Vegas right-winger Keegan Kolesar has worn No. 55. Roy joined Vegas in the same season after previously playing in the Carolina Hurricanes organization. Maple Leafs Reveal Jersey Numbers For Newly Acquired Players Most of the Toronto Maple Leafs' summer additions officially have numbers with their new club. While defenseman Mark Giordano wore No. 55 with Toronto from 2022-2024, Roy is the first forward to wear the number since Jason Blake, who played three seasons with the team from 2007-2010. Prior to Roy, Blake was the only Toronto forward to have ever worn No. 55. Nicolas Roy Ready for Top-Six Role With Maple Leafs Whenever Called Upon While the Toronto Maple Leafs continue their search for a top-six forward ahead of the 2025–26 NHL season, newly acquired center Nicolas Roy could help fill the gap in the meantime.
