They definitely didn't say that. There is only one player eligible for the next one! (Unless the ICC regs are changing, and this hasn't been published - which seems unlikely!)

Blignaut brothers back playing a school game today!

Fair play! Vs their old school (St. John's), so maybe some scores to settle, but even so! Impressive commitment.

WTF happened in 2012?

First time without winning a game

The 2016 squad was very talented.

Brendan Sly was a very good prospect and a highly respected left arm spinner

Sorry wrong guy. Jeremy Ives was the lad I was thinking about.

Murray,

Snyder,

Mashinge (could have really been a good all rounder)

Ngarava

Matugimu

Wez

Adam Keefe

All very capable of playing FC and some international. Compared to this current squad, 11 years ago was a much stronger side

I see India Under 25's beat the Afghanistan Under 35's today.

Here's hoping England U19's win the Final.

Brilliant game between Aus and England. Rew and the Aussie are top top batters.
