The Dar es Salaam youngsters' triumph underlined the region's dominance in domestic cricket stretched to almost all other Tanzania Cricket Association (TCA)-sanctioned competitions. They won the toss and opted to field, putting their opponent in to bat first but the latter failed to make full use of the innings despite playing at the familiar pitch.

Arsenal youngster Kyle Bartley is hoping for a loan return to Scottish side Rangers next season after joining the club for a short spell in January.

The 19-year-old made nine appearances for the SPL champions after spending the first half of the season with Sheffield United.

Bartley has revealed his parent club are in discussions with Rangers, and he would welcome a return to Glasgow next season.

“There are talks going on with Arsenal as we speak,” Bartley told the official Rangers website.

“So we’ll have to wait and see. But, if I’m told I can come back to Ibrox, that would be fantastic.”

Bartley believes his experience in Scotland this season has been priceless and has thoroughly enjoyed his time with the side, set to be managed by Ally McCoist in the new campaign.

Bartley added: “The experience this year was invaluable and I really enjoyed my time.

“All the boys get on really well and they’re all great lads and now they can celebrate this success together.”

Bartley has made one first team appearance for Arsenal, playing in the Champions League trip to Olympiakos during the 2009-10 season.
