Sri Lanka Tour: Squad Announced

[sam_ahm]

The boys are having to take FIVE flights to get to Colombo haha. Harare - Joburg - Nairobi - Dar-es-salam - Qatar - SL.

Jeeez.

They'll be tired like hell, good that they've got some time before the matches start.

Jeeez.

It should have been Harare- Joburg - Doha/Dubai - Colombo. Still pretty circuitous.

The BD team does similar on many of their tours. I bet they went Dhaka-Dubai-Auckland to get to NZ.

Zim don't usually have to go via Joburg either, the team normally flies Harare - Dubai/Addis Ababa and then on to wherever, so usually just two flights. Five flights is crazy, I feel for them. They will probably be in economy as well.

Hammy is travelling apparently. I bet he's in a seat up front with a glass of something nice.....

Nice one!! on a serious note, does the ZC president travel with the team on tour? Why? Is this normal? What exactly will he bring to the table in Sri Lanka? What fun is there to be had travelling with a bunch of guy? I can understand as a player..but admin, why? Who runs the office when he’s away?

ZC should also adopt 5 whites , 5 blacks & 1 asian in Playing XI

After Raza retires, Taufnil Zaheer or Faraz Akram should find the spot

Hammy is the director of cricket. And yeah he’s been on every away tour since he was appointed I think. Not sure what he does whilst there but I think it is quite normal amongst cricket boards tbf. Ashley Giles and all the ECB top brass are in Australia. The BCCI President and Secretary always follow the Indians around as well for example.

Also there’s no Team Manager going with them on this tour so maybe Hammy is doubling up in that role this time?
