Cyprus vs Finland 2026 Teams and Squads

Neither board had released an official squad at the time of writing. Here is the current picture for both sides.

Cyprus Men’s Team

Cyprus is the host side and arrives well-prepared. Their most recent cricket was a home T20I series against Austria in March 2026. They know the Happy Valley Ground surface and have used it across multiple campaigns. The pressure is real, though: less than ten days after this Finland series ends, Cyprus hosts the ICC Men’s T20 World Cup Europe Sub-regional Qualifier A from May 16–23, 2026. Jersey is in their group, and the competition will be stiff. How Cyprus set their squads and rotations across this Finland series will shape their Qualifier readiness.

Finland Men’s Team

Finland begins their 2026 international year with this tour. The bigger challenge comes in August, when Finland hosts the Europe Sub-regional Qualifier C. Their group contains Bulgaria, Czechia, Germany, Greece, Isle of Man, Israel, Luxembourg, Portugal, and Spain. Winning in Cyprus would be a strong start to what is a full and demanding European summer for the Finnish side.

Keep an eye on Cricket Finland and CCF official channels for squad news as the series approaches.

Happy Valley Ground, Episkopi

All four matches take place at Happy Valley Ground in Episkopi, a venue Cyprus returns to regularly for home cricket.

• Location: Episkopi, Limassol District, Cyprus
• Weather in May: Dry, warm, and clear, with typical spring Mediterranean conditions
• Surface: Firm pitch with low bounce, generally batter-friendly
• Cyprus familiarity: The ground is well known to the home side, who have played multiple series here in recent years
• Upcoming use: The same ground hosts the ICC Europe Sub-regional Qualifier A from May 16–23, 2026
