The 2016 ICC World Cricket League Division Five is an international cricket tournament that is scheduled to take place in Jersey in May 2016.[1] It forms part of the 2012–18 cycle of the World Cricket League (WCL). The Jersey Cricket Board were awarded the hosting rights in October 2015, with the Nigeria Cricket Federation the only other bidder.[2]

Teams

Six teams qualified for the tournament:

In March 2016 Suriname withdrew from the tournament due to an ICC investigation about the eligibility of some of their players.[3][4] At least six players had doubts raised regarding their eligibility, including the Division Six tournament's man of the series, Gavin Singh and the leading wicket-taker, Muneshwar Patandin.[5] Vanuatu were named as their replacement.[5]

Preparation

Vanuatu will play warm-up matches against Denmark and the Marylebone Cricket Club (MCC) in London. After continuing on to Jersey, the team will also play a final warm-up match against Oman, before the start of the tournament proper.[6] Guernsey will play a series of warm-up matches in Sussex, England, including two against a Netherlands A side.[7]
