Austria
- Andrew Simpson-Parker (34)
  RHB. The mainstay of the batting. Will be looking to dominate the bowling early on in his innings.
- Tim Hind (38)
  RHB. Attacking middle order batsman. A useful all-rounder with gentle in-swing medium pace.
- Lukas Haider (20)
  Wicketkeeper. Burst onto the scene in 1997 at the ECC Trophy in Switzerland. A very good pair of hands and typically aggressive wicketkeeping style.
- Benji Loader (20)
  RHB, offspin. Bowler of the Tournament at the last ECC Trophy in Greece. Developing his control well, and good variation. Also an attacking middle-order batsman.
- Michael Nedoma (32)
  RHB. A regular member of the National Team. Technically good batsman who has recently developed an attacking style.

  RHB, medium pace. Back in the squad, will be looking to consolidate his team place. A useful all-rounder who can score quick runs lower down the order.
- Thomas Grabetz (33)
  RHB, medium pace. A regular member of the National Team. All-round fielding skills, a good partnership builder lower down the order and useful partnership breaker with the ball.
- Farrakh Malik (19)
  RHB, medium pace. Has developed into a new-ball bowler with great penetration and nagging line. An explosive hitter down the order.
- Ashwani Khanna (30)
  RHB, fast medium. An attacking bowler who has always performed well for the National Team. Can also open the batting if required.
- Erwin Grasinger (20)
  LHB. Talented strokemaker in the middle order and Austria`s best fielder.

Croatia
Finland
Norway
Slovenia
- Damir Alidzanovic
  Right-arm medium bowler. Capable of producing devastatingly unplayable bounce and swing, or 12-ball overs. Elegant stance.
  Favourite shot: playing and missing.
- Urban Blaznik
  Right-arm medium bowler. Effective if ungainly bowler who always seems to get among the wickets. Big throw from the boundary.
  Favourite shot: front foot drive, whatever the delivery.
- Greg Davies
  Wicket-keeper and batsman. Graceful, athletic cricketer admired and respected by his team-mates (in his dreams).
  Favourite shot: 9 iron hoik across the line.
- Brad Eve
  Right-arm fast bowler. Very mean ñ always targets one of the opposition as "mine". And usually gets him. Accomplished dispatcher of Fray Bentos bowling.
  Favourite shot: graceful pirouette to hook a six (or get bowled on leg stump).
- Steve Fish
  Right-arm medium bowler. Always bowls a couple of good deliveries in every match. Excellent fielder with safe hands, though usually chooses to catch one-handed.
  Favourite shot: premeditated dance down the wicket.
- Scott Geldart
  Opening batsman and slow-medium right-arm bowler. Combative, well-rounded cricketer and accomplished sledger. Builds his innings cautiously.
  Favourite shot: late cut.
- Daniel Herakovic
  Recently converted to cricket from ice hockey. Determined to hold onto a catch, one day.
  Favourite shot: wahay!
- Mark Oman Fast bowler. Highly competitive Australian Slovene. Likes to soften up the opposing batsmen. Very tough to dislodge from the crease.
  Favourite shot: forward defensive prod, no run.
- Dan Ryan Left-arm medium quickie. Complains, with some justification, of being the most "dropped" bowler in Slovenia. Big-swinging, big-hitting batsman who scores quickly if he can stay at the crease.
  Favourite shot: full toss lobbed straight to nearest fielder.
- Joel Smith Off-spinner. Accurate slow bowler and good close fielder. A reluctant but sometimes effective cricketer.
  Favourite shot: prefers not to bat.
- Paul Townend Batsman. Stylish late-order batsman, despite his Yorkshire origins. Occasionally allowed to bowl.
  Favourite shot: straight drive.
