Tribe is the first island player to make it into the English first-class game since Jersey became an international made his international debut for Jersey as a 17-year-old, has played 25 T20 internationals to date and featured in all five of Jersey's games in their 50-over World Cup qualifiers in Namibia in says qualifying for a World Cup for the first time - having reached the final round of qualifying four times in the past - would be massive for Jersey. "It would make a huge amount of difference for a small island like ourselves and 100% we'll be giving it our best shot," he said."Who knows, in a T20 tournament like this, things can happen and we'll hope they fall on the right side for Jersey."The right-handed batter is one of just two fully professional players in the Jersey squad alongside Wellington's Nick Greenwood, who was born on the island before emigrating with his family to New Zealand as a hopes being the first island-trained player to make a career in county cricket will inspire the next generation of Jersey talent."When I was coming through as a Jersey player, there was always aspirations to play for Jersey on the international stage, but it was very much 'it's that or nothing', and getting into a county cricket set-up was very hard because they pick their own," he said."I didn't really like that and I never really believed that myself, so when I got a first taste for it, I wanted to sort of prove people wrong and know that wasn't the case."I hope what I'm currently doing allows people to see that there's a career outside of Jersey cricket and you can make it as a professional cricketer if you are born there."

Archer in line for red ball return from injury for Sussex
LEEDS, England :Fast bowler Jofra Archer could be set for his first test cricket action in more than four years after being named in English county side Sussex's squad for their trip to Durham, starting on Sunday. Archer has not picked up a red cricket ball since May 2021 for Sussex after a series of injuries kept delaying his return. He has since returned to international white-ball cricket for England, his last appearance coming in the ICC Champions Trophy one-day defeat to South Africa in March. England selector Luke Wright said earlier this month that if Archer could get some action for Sussex he could be available for the second test against India next month, with captain Ben Stokes saying the 30-year-old was desperate to return to test cricket.

England's Dawson relishing return from international wilderness
England's Liam Dawson (C) celebrates with team-mates after dismissing West Indies' Johnson Charles during the 1st T20 at Chester-le-Street (Oli SCARFF) Liam Dawson is determined to make the most of his surprise recall to international duty after believing his England career had come to an end. The 35-year-old left-arm spinner had won just 20 caps across all three formats since making his debut in 2016. Advertisement He appeared surplus to requirements as England selected a succession of other slow bowlers in red and white-ball cricket, many of whom had inferior county records to Hampshire mainstay Dawson. But he produced a reminder of his quality with 4-20 and a player-of-the-match award as England marked Harry Brook's first T20 as captain with a 21-run win over the West Indies at Chester-le-Street on Friday. "I had got to an age where I probably thought international cricket was gone," said Dawson after taking his best figures in T20 internationals. "In my domestic career, I've tried to go out there and just enjoy playing for whoever I'm playing for. It was about going out there and not worrying about playing for England. Advertisement "I think that can hamper you sometimes so I've not really worried about that. I'm at an age now where I know that I'm close to finishing." Brook gave Dawson the new ball in Durham, a sign of his confidence in the bowler, and perhaps a marker for next year's T20 World Cup on turning pitches in India and Sri Lanka. "Personally, I think he's been knocking on the door for years to try and solidify that spot and the performance we saw from him was awesome," said Brook of Dawson. "Him and Adil Rashid working in tandem at both ends is going be good to watch in the coming years. He can also help the younger lads along the way, to have him in the inner circle when they are bowling is going to help us a lot." Advertisement The three-match series continues in Bristol on Sunday before finishing at Dawson's home ground in Southampton on Tuesday. Well though he bowled in Durham, Dawson is taking nothing for granted. "I know how cricket works, you've got to be consistent and it's only one game," he said. "So I'll park this and go again. It would be nice to play at my home ground, if selected." jdg/pb

Jos Buttler serves up fireworks as England see off West Indies in first T20
The burden has gone for Jos Buttler. Playing his first Twenty20 international since stepping down from the white-ball captaincy, there was liberation as he struck a 59-ball 96 to set up England's 22-run win over West Indies. If there was any glumness for the 34-year-old, it was in missing out on what would have been his first T20I century at home. Nonetheless, Buttler top-scored in a total of 188 before Liam Dawson got to work. The left-arm spinner has been the darling of the county game in recent years but this was his return to the England show after nearly three years away. His story has long been that of the drinks carrier, an unused member of the 2019 World Cup-winning squad, there to use in case of emergency. Here he was part of the main cast and celebrated his best international figures, four wickets for 20 runs, his control crucial. A new life begins for Dawson, too. The London traffic had disrupted West Indies before the third one-day international at the Oval; this time it was British immigration policy. The recent introduction of a visa requirement for visitors from Trinidad and Tobago led to the absence of Akeal Hosein, the left-arm spinner still waiting to complete the process. Cricket West Indies 'remains optimistic' that the matter will be sorted in 'the coming days', yet this quickfire three-match series concludes on Tuesday. Hosein, noted for his guile with the new ball, was missed as England unleashed havoc on the opposition quicks at the start of the evening. Ben Duckett perished quickly to Romario Shepherd but Jamie Smith and Buttler were brutal in their 79-run standoff 6.4 overs. The former, taking advantage of Phil Salt's paternity leave, feasted over long-on to compile a 20-ball 38. Butter was a treat when going straight but also showcased the scoop when taking 22 off four Alzarri Joseph deliveries. With the next major assignment a T20 World Cup in India and Sri Lanka next year the focus for England remains how they counter spin. Gudakesh Motie's slow stuff inevitably brought quiet, his four overs wicketless but conceding just 21, while Roston Chase snuck one through Harry Brook to end the England captain's knock on six. West Indies' coterie of pace-bowling all-rounders recovered well as England fell to 116 for four and the surviving Buttler slowed down; after reaching 50 off 25 balls, his next 19 deliveries produced 16. But three figures remained on as he fetched a wide Jason Holder delivery and found the square-leg rope, as he reverse-swatted a fuller Shepherd ball to go to 86. Another along the carpet would have done it but Joseph found the pads. Dawson was immediately called upon in the West Indies reply, and success came quickly, an economical opening over followed by a wicket when he switched ends, a flighted delivery luring Johnson Charles forward and inviting the stumping from Buttler. Sign up to The Spin Subscribe to our cricket newsletter for our writers' thoughts on the biggest stories and a review of the week's action after newsletter promotion Matt Potts, making his T20I debut in the same week he lost his Test spot, endured a mixed opening over, dismissing Shai Hope cheaply but taking nine deliveries to complete it, a no-ball – hit for six by Chase – called because of three fielders behind square on the leg side. A powerplay total of 44 for two gave England advantage though the game threatened to turn as Evin Lewis took a liking to Potts and then Jacob Bethell in his first over. The latter struggled with his line and conceded 24 runs before Lewis got a little too excited with the final ball, finding Brydon Carse's hands by the longer leg-side boundary. Dawson then capitalised on the required rate, Sherfane Rutherford and Chase offering Duckett simple grabs in the deep. When Rovman Powell collected a couple of boundaries in Dawson's final over, out came the pinpoint dart to rattle the stumps. Adil Rashid's commanding 16th over meant the contest was over before the death.
