Career
On 31 May 2010 Malachi Jones was removed from the Bermuda national cricket team after he breached a protocol that prohibited National players from playing for their Domestic clubs on 30 May 2010, a scheduled rest day. Bermuda was hosting the WCL Americas Region Division One tournament and would complete the competition with 13 players.
David Moore, Bermuda's coach, said: "I am extremely disappointed and surprised that one player would not only let the team down but Bermuda as well. The purpose of the rest day is recover and regenerate from injuries to be able to continue in the tournament at optimum level.
"I would like to personally thank all clubs for supporting the national team and following Board directive. International cricket is very important for the future of Bermuda cricket and we can not improve without the partnership and co-operation of all involved."
The Bermuda Cricket Board president Reginald Pearman added: "On behalf of the Board we are extremely disappointed to note this development and we agree and support the coach and team management's decision that the appropriate action has been taken." [1]
In August 2019, he was named in Bermuda's squad for the Regional Finals of the 2018–19 ICC T20 World Cup Americas Qualifier tournament.[2] He made his Twenty20 International (T20I) debut for Bermuda against the United States on 18 August 2019.[3] In September 2019, he was named in Bermuda's squad for the 2019 ICC T20 World Cup Qualifier tournament in the United Arab Emirates.[4]
