Games will be played at the Police Recreations Grounds and Antigua Recreation Grounds according to the schedule below.

One member of the visiting delegation, a scout of the US-based MLB pro team Tampa Bay Rays will be facilitating a try-outs for the young players between the ages of 14 to 23 years old, through which the best talented players can be scouted, and given the opportunity to showcase their performance abilities on playing the game.
