How's he got a gig in the uk. He doesn't play FC
I could well be wrong but if he pays his fees like anytime else and can hold a bat he can play right?

Wrong. UK leagues only allow a certain number of non-England qualified players.

Who’s playing where this year? Season starts in 3 weeks.

Think old Brett Johnson is playing for Newton Reigny CC again this year.
Jonty isn’t playing for Cheltenham Civil Service CC because he still owes subs from last year.
Department of Works and Pension have said they are going to increase my PIP Payment to cover that :D :D :D
Rightfully so :lol: :lol:

Belgian T20 Bingo;

1. Event never happens
2. Event happens, but the international never get paid
3. Event happens, but none of the international players end up playing
4. Event happens, and then everyone gets banned for spot fixing

Which option is everyone going with?

So I can't play club cricket in the UK unless I'm a semi pro?
