The team will have its final trials on Sunday to smoothen some of the rough edges before they make the trip.
The tournament was originally scheduled to begin on January 15 but had to be re-scheduled because of the delay in the release of funds from the world governing body, the International Cricket Council (ICC). The statement said the Association is also planning to introduce an inter-university cricket competition soon to produce more quality cricketers to represent the country.
