I have no idea who will play for the Indian side, as they play England in a Test match at Edgbaston, but they will be packed with talent.
Nor do I know who will play for us, but a sixteen-man squad has been announced which includes all three overseas players. While Mickey Arthur may get everyone back in the T20 groove ahead of Sunday's key game, there may be opportunities for others to impress.
Squad: Masood, Reece, Madsen, Du Plooy, Cartwright, Guest, Came, Dal, Kerr, Hughes, Thomson, Watt, McKiernan, Conners, Aitchison, Scrimshaw
It should be hugely entertaining and I hope blessed with good weather and a good crowd.
I will be back home to see it too - and can't wait!
Is it classed as a friendly ? Can we play all 3 overseas players ?
ReplyDeleteI assume it is a friendly so theoretically they could play all three. But if Kerr is one with a niggle they may rest him ahead of Sunday
DeleteSorry, but is this a one day game Peakfan? Cheers
ReplyDeleteT20 mate, starts at 7pm tomorrow night. Hope they get a good crowd but would expect it to be streamed too
DeleteI hear Shan has been awarded a central contract by Pakistan. Did he have one and this is a renewal or a new contract?
DeleteI think it is new and announced today, category D for red ball only. I am unsure what that means moving forward, but expect the club may clarify in the coming days. It sounds like it would lessen any chance we had of getting him back, on the face of it
DeleteIs Masood available for Sunday or does he fly out straight after tomorrow?
ReplyDeleteWhen we signed Cartwright it was 'for the rest of the Blast and 3 championship matches'
DeleteSo it sounds like tomorrow is Shan's farewell for now
Think after tonight's games we have qualified so pressure is off.
DeleteLooking at this squad, a thought occurred: what's happened to Tom Wood? Is he injured? Iain
ReplyDeleteDealing with a personal matter, Iain. Nothing to do with the club, but his privacy is being respected by all concerned
