U19 World Cup | South Africa | Jan-Feb 2024

Who were the boys that missed out from the extended squad?

[secretzimbo]

I think the extended squad that went to SA lat month was originally 20? Now they are down to 15 but have named the other 5 all as reserves; Machaka, Druv Patel, Lovatt, Simbi and Vhezha.

There's a bunch of others who have been around over the past year or two who aren't involved. Williams, Bennett, Rugg, Changa, Mudenda are all missing.

Lost to a university side in SA today!

The uni side probably has about 200 schools that feed into it.

Dont know much about this bunch except for Schonken, but Cambpell MacMillan looks like he can hold a bat, all scorecards i checked he has been bossing it! Do you have any more intel on him @googly?

[Googly]

Ya I've watched him a bit. He's decent, tough, determined young guy, can keep as well. Folks have money so he can afford to do some yardage in domestic without dying of starvation. He won't be waiting for domestic games, cars for everybody if necessary. There will be a couple of franchise coaches flicking through Range Rover catalogues in anticipation.
He's very keen on his cricket. Coached at PeterHouse by Ian Tinker, who's very good. ZC released IT a while back and it was as usual an error, he's very good. A few guys that Tinker coached the fellas at ZC spitefully delayed their progress. Tinks would be very useful in an academy, has a good eye for technical stuff.

The boys play Ireland tomorrow which should give us an indication of where they are at
