JERSEY Cricket Board selectors have named a 23-player squad  to take the Island into International Cricket Council (ICC) action in August.
Jersey, who avoided fellow first-timers Guernsey, face Norway, France and Israel and the JCB squad, incredibly, contains four sets of brothers - Peter and Johnny Gough, Bobby and Tom Minty, Andy and Sam Dewhurst and Nigel and Ian Crocker.
Jersey and Guernsey are in the 2006 ECC European Second Division Championship where eight teams vie for promotion. They are split into two four-team groups with the group winners playing off for the championship and promotion.
JCB chairman of selectors Dave Gorman said: 'It's a very big squad, we've done that to engineer a team spirit over a wider group of players.
'Rules state that only 14 players are allowed to travel to Glasgow so the squad will be reduced in mid July. It's an early deadline but it's international competition and players' documents have all to be checked.
'It is a crucial time for Jersey's players, the next eight weeks will be vigorous with lots of training and trial games.
'Our aim in Glasgow is to put Jersey on the map as a cricketing nation, I hope we can achieve that as quickly as possible.
'The door is still open for anyone who plays consistently well over the next few weeks.
'This tournament is going to be a big learning curve for the Jersey Cricket Board and the players. I am not going to put any pressure on anyone, all I want us to do in put in some good performances and set out stall out for future tournaments.'
Jersey's full squad, selected by Dave Gorman, Keith Dennis, Ward Jenner and Chris Minty, is: Danny Bertram, Peter Blackburn, Danny Blasco, Jamie Brewster, Tony Carlyon, James Caunt, Nigel Crocker, Ian Crocker, Sam Dewhurst, Andy Dewhurst, Ryan Driver, Peter Gough, Johnny Gough, Matthew Hague, Oliver Hughes, Ward Jenner, Chris Jones, Tom Minty, Bobby Minty, Dave Morfee, Karl Moyse, Mark Saralis and Mark Whitsey.
