It's very important to us that we get some prior experience of the unique cricketing atmosphere in the Caribbean before we go to the World Cup. Although our competitive games in a year's time will all be at the new Warner Park Stadium in St Kitts, we will have some warm-up games in Barbados, and this trip is an ideal way to find out how to play the game in these conditions.

This is a great opportunity, we don't want to miss it. The fiscal situation in Canada is the envy of the G-7 ministers and probably well beyond that.
