Yorkshire.

Too many Qalandars types there already allegedly.

This cooperation sounds great for our game. Can’t rely on Chivanga banging it in at 160 all the time. Benefit everyone and hopefully build a long lasting relationship.

It's just fantastic news. This will add some much needed exposure to our players

Lahore Qalandars making another announcement in which Aaqib Javed says "Qalandars will ensure the Zimbabwean players selected for their 4 month high performance camp, go out as future superstars" He also ensures 5 fast bowers of 140+ K will be part of the 5 domestic teams (1 for each) and may be in future more such players (ARs, Spinners) will be playing in Zimbabwe's domestic competition. He talks about developing a high performance center in Harare. In the end he speaks about some tour to Yorkshire in October but I'm not very sure what exactly he meant there.

Yorkshire in October?!?!?!?

Christ I hope they pack their waterproofs.

Not sure what he meant, if it is for cricket or for some type of camp.

8 involved with Abu Dhabi T10 have been done for corruption.

I'm bracing myself for the inevitable stuff that comes out about the Zim T10. It always takes 1-2 years for anything to be released by the ICC so we'll be waiting a while. I just hope any Zimbos stayed out of it.

It's a shame because I thoroughly enjoyed the T10 here.

Does anyone know if any of the 8 guys specifically in this article were also involved in any capacity in ours?

[Googly]

I watched about 6 guys running 3 or 4 phones each sitting on the balcony, nearly all with ear pieces and permanently on calls or typing.
All our players have been read the riot act many times so there are no excuses. I'm 99% sure this one went without hitch, but if we're fortunate enough to host another, ZC need to stay on top of it. The last thing we need is another scandal.
Players need to avoid video interviews unless it's "official".

I bet Kriterion_BD was running a phone.

Then he’ll come on here acting all innocent like what’s a phone?! We use cup with string in East Pakistan. Only girls who take clothes off for money like his mate Monira Khatun can afford the not so latest iPhone 4.

[secretzimbo]

you’ve gone too far there

[Pat_Bee]

Nah, Monira is tidy

This isn't surprising, these leagues exist pretty much exclusively for subcontinent fixers and betters.
