2 week camp in India is now pointless if WC is in SA.
If you're on holiday with your boss, does it matter?
Is this courtesy of someone else or is ZC stumping up for these round the world social events? Eeish.

U19’s are in camp as of today.

Shame their head coach is too busy overseas to join them.

Host changed, but hilariously SL are still able to play the u19WC despite being suspended. We weren't allowed to play ICC events when we were suspended :lol: One rule for one, another rules for others hey.
True

5 weeks from the World Cup and the national u19 selector admits on camera he doesn’t know who half of the players in camp are

:lol: Jarvis really got the best deal out of ZC. He sailed into the sunset. I'm sure Craig is taking notes. I don't even know why Craig is still playing. They will take him in no doubt

I reckon Craig wants to play that one off England test for the bucket list

It’s not at Lords as previously stated btw. Now most likely to be somewhere shite like Taunton or Bristol

Has that been announced secret? The not Lord's part. Not doubting you just curious.

World Test Championship final has been allocated to Lord’s, I believe this is the reason they are looking at alternative venues for the proposed standalone Zim test.


Only hope is if they move the WTC final to the Oval, which they did do relatively last-minute last time.

But then why Bristol/Taunton? Why not Headingley, Southampton etc?
