Jersey have named a 13-woman squad for their Twenty20 tri-series tournament with Germany and Italy.
The islanders will face their European rivals twice on Friday and twice 24 hours later.
The top two sides will compete in a final on Sunday at Krefeld, which hosted Jersey men's victorious T20 World Cup qualifying tournament earlier this month.
Jersey beat Channel Island rivals Guernsey earlier this month in their first T20 game under new head coach Darren Thomas.
The islanders beat Italy in their T20 World Cup qualifying tournament last year, but lost to Germany at the same event.
"The cricket is likely to be a step up from the recent inter insular victories, so the players will need to be on the top of their games for the duration of the series," Thomas said.
"The schedule of T20 cricket is intense, stamina is going to come into play, so it’s going to be interesting to see how all teams manage this.
"The series will provide great exposure to see how our skills, awareness and standards are developing”.
Jersey squad:
Chloe Greechan (capt), Aimee Aikenhead, Effie Bowley, Maria Da Rocha, Erin Gouge, Lily Greig, Mia Maguire, Georgia Mallet, Analise Merritt, Charlie Miles, Trinity Smith, Flo Tanguy, Grace Wetherall.
