Intercontinental Cup 2018: Chinese Taipei announce 23-man squad

Chinese Taipei became the latest side to announce their squad for the upcoming Intercontinental Cup, which is due to take place in India. Unlike fellow competitors New Zealand, the Asian side has opted to send a strong contingent to India.

The Intercontinental Cup is due to begin on June 1 and will serve as a practice tournament for India as they prepare for the AFC Asian Championships 2019. The tournament will take place between four nations - India, New Zealand, Chinese Taipei, and Kenya. The four teams will compete in a league format. The top two teams after the league stage will also have to play in a final in order to win the cup.

Chinese Taipei begin their campaign against hosts India on June 1, after which they play New Zealand on June 5 and Kenya on June 8.

The Taipei squad is made up almost entirely of players playing in the country's domestic league with the exception of Will Donkin. The 17-year-old already has five caps at the international level and is currently contracted to English Premier League side Crystal Palace.

The full Chinese Taipei squad for the tournament is listed below.
