The North Zone T20 bowls off on Sunday 5 June at the Diego Martin Sporting Facility. The 8-team tournament is the final opportunity for players of the zone to show their cricketing skills for 2022.
The teams on show are, Police Sports Club, Santa Cruz Sports Association, Invincible Cricket Club, Glenora Sports Club, Pole 9, Barataria Ball Players, Savannah Boys, and Paragon Sports & Culture Club.
On Sunday Police will face Santa Cruz in the first game of the doubleheader starting at 2 pm, then Invincible comes up against Glenora at 6:30 pm.

The clubs have recruited several National League players, which will raise the level of play and excitement of the tournament. Police have on their roster, Rayad Emrit, and Lendl Simmons while Santa Cruz has registered Darren Bravo and Tion Webster. This makes the opening encounter a mouth-watering affair.
