We are happy to announce that the Japan National Squad Trials will be taking place in March this year.

All the trials will take place at the Sano International Cricket Ground and each day will run from 10:00 – 16:00. Trialists are expected to bring their own equipment, lunch and drinks.

Upon registering, further information will be sent out one week before the event. The deadline to register for all dates is Monday 14th March.

Before registering we advise that everyone reads the National Squad Player Eligibility & Selection Policy (ENG). Although players who are ineligible are welcome to attend to gain some additional coaching, if you are familiar with these documents it will help avoid disappointment.
