Cyprus vs Finland 2026 Teams and Squads

Neither board had released official squad lists at the time of writing. Here is the broader context for both teams going into the series.

Cyprus Men’s Team

Cyprus is well placed coming into this series. They hosted Austria for a T20I series in March 2026, so they already have competitive cricket in their legs this year.

Home conditions at Happy Valley Ground are familiar territory, and the series comes just before a bigger test: Cyprus hosts the ICC Men’s T20 World Cup Europe Sub-regional Qualifier A from May 16–23, 2026, where they will face strong sides including Jersey.

This Finland series gives Cyprus a final chance to sharpen its combinations before the Qualifier begins.

Finland Men’s Team

Finland is opening their 2026 international account with this tour.

Later in the year, they will host the Europe Sub-regional Qualifier C in August 2026.

Their group is large, featuring Bulgaria, Czechia, Germany, Greece, the Isle of Man, Israel, Luxembourg, Portugal, and Spain.

Coming into Cyprus with some wins would build useful confidence before that campaign.

This is not a low-stakes warm-up for either side.

Keep an eye on Cricket Finland and CCF official channels for squad confirmations.

Happy Valley Ground, Episkopi

The Happy Valley Ground in Episkopi hosts all four T20Is of the Finland Tour of Cyprus 2026.

• Location: Episkopi, Limassol District, Cyprus
• Climate in May: Warm and dry, with typical Mediterranean spring conditions
• Surface: Firm, low-bounce pitch that has historically favoured batters
• Cyprus familiarity: The ground is a regular home venue for the Cyprus cricket team
• Next event: The same ground hosts the ICC Europe Sub-regional Qualifier A from May 16–23, 2026

Finland will be unfamiliar with the surface and conditions, which is a clear advantage for the home side across both matchdays.
