EDMONTON - Another Cuban baseball player is missing from an international baseball tournament in Edmonton.

This brings the total number of Cuban players expected to have defected to three.

Two players were reported missing from the team's roster last week.

Tournament chairman Ron Hayter says it happens at most major international sporting events, and he's not losing sleep over the issue.

Hayter says it's not up to organizers to be keeping tabs on players to make sure they don't leave their team.

On Friday, former Cuban leader Fidel Castro rebuked Edmonton in an Internet column, calling it a "dumping ground" for Cuban athletes.
