They played two matches in the tournament,[6] one a preliminary round victory by nine wickets againstInternational Cricket CouncilAffiliate Members theTurks and Caicos Islands[7] and a second in the first round againstNevis, which they lost by 74 runs.[8] Montserrat would have taken part in a further tournament to be played in 2009, however its creatorAllen Stanford was charged with fraud and arrested in June 2009, bringing an end to the competition.
