The 15 players who originally set out on the five-week tour to Sharjah, Mombasa and Nairobi have been invited to travel to Barbados and St Kitts to take part in the one-day tournament.

"We went to Kenya with two aims, first to qualify for the Twenty20 World Championship and also to inflict a first defeat on the host country," said national team coach Peter Drinnen.

"We achieved both these objectives, and it is therefore no surprise that we are endorsing the entire squad for the World Cup itself."

Scotland open their campaign in St Kitts against Australia on March 14, then play South Africa on March 20 and the Netherlands four days later.

AFP adds from Nairobi: Kenya on Tuesday named the 15-man squad for the Cricket World Cup in the West Indies retaining the same side that won the World Cricket Division one title they hosted earlier this month.

Long-serving skipper Steve Tikolo retains his place with all-rounder Thomas Odoyo as his deputy, but the selection left out three other experienced players, two of whom failed to beat the selection deadline and a third down with injury.

Wicketkeeper-batsman Kennedy Otieno and left-hander Hitesh Modi failed to make the deadline while opening bowler Martin Suji is still nursing a knee injury.

AFP adds from Hamilton: There were few surprises when Bermuda announced on Monday its 15-member squad to take part in the World Cup which is being staged in the Caribbean for the first time.

The Bermudians have retained all but one of the players that contested the ICC World Cricket League Division 1 competition earlier this month.

Batsman Oliver Pitcher, who missed the WCL because of injury, has been included ahead of Arthur Pitcher Jr.

Most of the players virtually picked themselves and have occupied spots in the team ever since the tiny island nation located in the Northern Atlantic Ocean gained a place in World Cup two years ago.

Irving Romaine will captain the side with wicketkeeper/batsman Dean Minors as his deputy.

There is also room in the squad for left-handed batsman David Hemp, Born in Bermuda, the 36-year-old Hemp is currently the captain of English county side, Glamorgan.

The squad also includes South Africa-born all-rounder Saleem Mukuddem, and 17-year-old all-rounder Malachi Jones, whose selection will make him one of the youngest players to appear in the global event.

Bermuda are making their first appearance at the Cricket World Cup and will contest Group B of the championship in Trinidad, where they face Sri Lanka, India, and Bangladesh.

The Bermudians play warm-up matches against England and Zimbabwe in St. Vincent on March 5 and 8.
