Registration deadline for DCA Dream11 tournament  is 4:00 pm today; only fully vaccinated players allowed

Public Relations Officer (PRO) of the Dominica Cricket Association (DCA), Augustine Beno Pascal, is advising cricketers on island who have not registered for the upcoming Dream11 tournament that their deadline to do so is today April 1, 2022, at 4 pm.

According to Pascal only fully vaccinated players -i.e those who’ve received their first and second doses of any of the vaccines by May 7 2022- are eligible to participate in the tournament.

Despite these new guidelines which have been implemented by the government of Dominica as part of the guidelines for the return of sports, Pascal told Dominica News Online (DNO) that the players are excited and so far, a total of  73 crickets across the island have registered for the inaugural tournament.

He made known that the main sponsor of the tournament is an Indian betting company named Dream11 and the event is to be carried live globally which he labelled as “something big for Dominica”.

As such, Pascal sounded a call to potential sponsors to support the initiative as he says, “it’s an opportunity to assist the local game and players and also help promote and get adequate mileage for your company/business and of course your country.”

As further reported, recently a draw was held by the marquee players of the various teams to know in what order they will select during the 1st round of the draft.

Based on the draw the order is as follows; first, the Titou Gorge Splashers, followed by the  Champagne Reef Divers, the Barana Aute Warriors, the Indian River Rowers, the Sari-Sari Sunrisers and finally the Valley Hikers.

The event will kick off on May 7 and run until June 5 2022 at the Windsor Park Stadium.

Matches are scheduled to take place at 12:00 pm and 2:30 pm with a total of two or three games held in a day.

Interested players are to contact their club’s representatives as well as members of the DCA  for registration forms.

As stressed by Pascal,  all health and safety protocols will be strictly adhered to.

    Beno et al DCA, are you trying to eliminate our sports personnel?
    Are you all following the sports news?
    Do you know how many fully vaccinated sportsmen have passed – Blod clots, strokes, Heart attacks, etc., and suddenly? Australia I say one Shane Warne and many more…
    While persons will die but have you all noticed that rise in numbers in the fully vaccinated yes fully vaccinated, boosted too, young ones who have passed? We need to ask for opened eyes. Many have died not because of covid but vaccination. Read the UK’s report about 9 out of 10 persons who died were vaccinated.
    Time to stop this madness & deception. Mask in itself will soon open a can of worms (illness) for those who are deprived of oxygen, breathing in what they send out. Open your eyes. Even here too .. Let the truth prevail. All have made a mistake and were taken for a ride. What is the result – fear of dying (yet it is appointed unto man to die). Vaccination double not working then boost 1, 2, 3…

    Utter rubbish. Absolute unadulterated rubbish!!!!

    Taking the injection thingy for covid does not contribute to a safe playing environment since ‘The Injected’ can still catch & spread covid to others just as those who did not take these covid injections.

    Those who sanction these nonsense mandates need to go read a basic Immunology book to find out what a REAL vaccine is and what any medication that is classified as a vaccine is fundamentally designed to do.
