Yes, no real surprise there. SL, Bang, WI, Pak, NZ should also vote against the overhaul unless they change that prop...

And now the selection panel of the WICB (or CWI as it is now can be called) has announced a 15 man training squad and a 12 man President's XI to face England. The selection panel seems to have decided to keep on previous players even if they didn't do so well in the recently concluded Super50. That'...

So the Regional Super50 is concluded. The second semi-final saw Barbados Pride beat the Leeward Islands Hurricanes by 110 runs. Shai Hope set up the win with a 125 runs. Kraigg Brathwaite (54) and Jason Holder (42) also contributed with the bat to push Barbados to 314/7 while Carlos Brathwaite (27 a...

Good question. Reviewing the squad they sent with the squad that participated in the 2016 one day cup in England, out of the 16 man squad sent to the Caribbean half (8) participated in the one day cup in England (where Kent came second in the South Group with 5 wins and 3 losses and subsequently los...

The Regional Super50 is almost over with the first semi-final having been played. To catch you all up on the action since February 3rd, there have been a few close matches but in quite a few one team won by convincing margins.

Another issue is the pitches in Zimbabwe are not very similar to those in South Africa, so the idea of teams touring there to acclimatise to the conditions is pointless ..... I'm not sure why this is supposed to be a problem considering that: 1. in the past before the hectic scheduling, teams actua...

Also the latest cricinfo article suggested the boards seem to agree on using Zim, Ire, and Afg as tour matches for SA, ENG, PAK tours respectively. So a one off 5 day Test would replace the traditional 3 day first class match vs a domestic or A team. Thats 2 Tests per year, or 4 per cycle for the l...

Bangladesh are the big winners of the new model, followed by Ireland and Afghanistan (because from their perspective Test status in any form is better than no Test status at all). Zimbabwe is the only loser. The only silver lining that I can see is it might result in more ODI cricket, but I don't t...

Looking at the other proposals, the regional qualifications for T20 cricket are interesting, but given the geographic distribution of the full members, the strongest associates and affiliates then regional qualification tournaments will almost certainly mean automatic qualification for Australia, Ne...
