Where to from here?

A couple of them will be in the national squad.
If ZC actually published their plans it would be easier to see the way forward. They're shooting from the hip which truly indicates there's an element of panic setting in, and rightfully so, it's time to panic.

I wonder how long this u25 initiative will run for?
Where are they going, who are they playing, when will they return to franchise cricket, will they be paid survival money?
Etc etc.

Secret, who were the youngest 2 or 3 guys that you saw on that list?

So now you remove the u25's from franchise cricket and what happens to the franchise cricket?

Well I'm guessing if the original plan of going to England happened then that would be after our franchise season ended.

If that's not done along the lines of how Taibu and Matsi did that original thing, forget what they called it, its going to cost a shit ton of money. Taibu and Matsi had someone helping them with sponsorship, accommodation etc, forget his name.

Interesting, thanks very much

Genuine question; would you consider forum favourite Antum Naqvi in these u25 games? He played in those games v Uganda last year. He’s not necessarily eligible now but will be at some point and getting him involved in the system early with an eye to the future will only be good I guess.

Well I would be surprised if both of them aren’t in the squad. Raza played some ‘A’ games before he was eligible if I remember correctly

He’s averaging 10.6 from his past 6 innings.
