Richardson impresses Jersey boss after Guernsey display
Jersey boss Paul Hutchison says George Richardson has done his best to force his way into the side after his five-wicket haul against 20-year-old tore into the Sarnian batters with figures of 5-38 as Guernsey were bowled out for 150 in 43 went on to reach their target in just 25.2 overs to record an eight-wicket win away from home."He's been on the edge of the squad for a while, he's been chomping at the bit to get in," Hutchison told BBC Radio Jersey."He was in Holland with us and he's been part of the A team stuff that we did over in England in London probably six weeks ago."So he's really been pushing hard and he impressed with the way he went about his business."He kept it pretty simple and that was enough."Richardson was part of Jersey's squad at the recent T20 World Cup qualifiers - but did not play a game as the islanders registered a historic win over Scotland but finished one place off making the 2026 T20 World Cup. But Richardson could well feature in the ICC Challenge League tournament that the island will host later this top their division after the first round of 50 over matches and would progress to the next stage of qualifying for the Cricket World Cup if they can top the group after the final round next year."I think we're in a healthy place, the competition for places is strong," Hutchison said."We've got a tournament starting in just under two weeks and we can pick 14 and I'm probably picking from a very strong 20 of the inner circle."So there's going to be lads out there who are going to be disappointed."But ultimately, if I've got those kinds of headaches, then Jersey's in a good spot, it's better than the other way around."
