Asa Tribe is back in Jersey colours and "absolutely delighted" to chase World Cup qualification, even with England still in his sights.
Asa Tribe is heading back to Jersey's setup, and he is making no secret of how much it means to him. The cricketer says he is "absolutely delighted" to rejoin the squad as it chases a place at the Cricket World Cup.
Tribe's story has two tracks running side by side. His long-term ambition is to represent England, and he has not hidden it. For now, though, his focus is on lifting the island's hopes on the global stage.
That balance is common among ambitious players from smaller cricketing nations, who want to push their own careers while giving everything for the team that shaped them. Tribe's return suggests he sees no conflict between the two goals. Strong performances for Jersey can only help his personal case.
For Jersey, getting a player with Tribe's drive and big-stage ambition back in the fold is a timely boost. The island's World Cup dream is still alive, and Tribe wants to help make it real.
