Update: Guernsey Cricket has confirmed the first game of the three-match senior men's T20 series will have full international status.

Guernsey Cricket will welcome four sides from the Isle of Man next month in a week-long tour made possible by the creation of an 'air bridge' between the islands.

In total, 138 players, coaches, and family members will make the trip with games at U13, U15, U17, and senior level set to take place.
