I think the mentality for quite a few guys is that it is national team or nothing. This often coming from guys from well off backgrounds who have the ability and the finances to move elsewhere.

July - India 3T20s
August - Namibia tri series (Zim, Nam, South Africa) TBC

June - Bangladesh all formats

There was supposed to be a Tri series in Namibia in August but there was no mention of that in Namibia's schedule.
