Every game will be live streamed worldwide on the European Cricket Network and on FanCode - a multi-sport aggregator platform, from the house of Dream Sports for the Indian Sub-Continent.
Bogliasco, a wonderful town on the Golfo-Paradiso is a newcomer to the ECS. Bogliasco is the only team from Liguria, the region where some of the first cricket in Italy was played, in 1893 for example Genoa Cricket and Football Club was founded. Formed in 2015, Bogliasco are a predominantly Sri Lankan club, led by Italian international Madupa Fernando, winners of back-to-back Serie B Championships in 2015 and 2016. Talented wicket-keeper Rishan Kivanda starred for Padova at ECS Rome last November.
Against Italian heavyweights like Milan Kingsgrove and Bergamo CC, Bogliasco look to have a tough task in Group A, but will fancy their chances against fellow newcomers Pioltello United.
