Thought it would be worthwhile to put together a list of all the players heading over to the UK this summer. Please post any more players who you are aware of heading to the UK/Europe.
I expect a number of players to pull out if they are selected for the "A" side etc. Interesting to note that Campbell, Tiripano, Evans, Munyonga and Muramani who all had UK contracts lined up have made themselves unavailable.
Roy Kaia - Svanholm Cricket Club (Denmark)
Tendai Chisoro - Kelso CC (Scotland)
Brian Chari - (Denmark)
Ainsley Ndlovu - Cannock CC (Birmingham)
Charles Kunje - Clipstone & Bilsthorpe CC (Nottingham)
Tinashe Chimbambo - Compton & Chandlers Ford CC (Hampshire)
Brian Mudzinganyama - Whittington CC (Staffs)
Prince Masurve - Horsley & Send CC (Surrey)

Ya I agree. It's an unticked box. I'm always a bit confused by the role of bowling coach. What we really need is a specialist spin coach, at least to hold some coaching clinics. Does a guy set out to be a bowling coach and learn seam, offspin, legspin, left arm orthodox and chinaman? They're all quite different.

Njabulo Ncube was the bowling coach for the Namibia and Afghanistan series btw.

Ali Frost 50 up for Ireland Development XI against Gloucestershire 2nds. This guy has really improved. Goes against my theory of having to be top drawer as a kid, but no harm in being wrong 😂
He looks really good!

He's batting at 3 and PJ Moor next in at 5.
On 60 now, 100 in the offing.

I see USA have announced their squad. Also Rusty Theron is in it. He is/was a good player. How has he ended up in USA?
Fast track to citizenship 😂
If they offer that they will end up with a power side in all formats 😂

He was a world class bowler with really good stats, including IPL. He had some knee problems.

Monank Patel is their captain, and I'm guessing best batsman. Greencard guy from Gujarat. Looks good.
I wonder what a 12 month USA contract is worth?
They need a Walmart guy to take an interest in cricket and it would be a game changer.

PJ out for 9. No foot movement
Frost on 76, playing really well.

7 and 9 for PJ, and didn't take the gloves. Not a great start to his Ireland career.

Frost went to Loughborogh didn't he? Pretty much the best place in the world to develop at that age. It's showing.

Ya I haven't heard great reports about Loughborough. I don't think Frost was in the main side last year, some very political selections. They get their pick of some pretty good cricketers though, and for reasons unknown overlook some really talented guys. They have amazing facilities.
A Flower was based there for long stretches when he was part of the England Development set up. The women are based there I think. Cobb is the coach, not particularly well liked.

I know a cricketer that had he been selected for Loughborough probably would have gone on to have a pro career, and he didn't even make their extended squad. He was absolutely devastated and stopped playing for a while and then couldn't even get a trial game at any County. I suspect he was "blacklisted" for his outburst.

Sri Lanka on the verge of an historic series win here.
That was a nervous finish. Any idea why Chameera didn't play today?

No.
Jeez what a game! That bowler was a wreck after that.
Slower balls into the pitch at a batsman waiting for just that!

Ankle injury or something. They were waiting for a scan.

I see England chased down 248 set by Netherlands in 30 overs. I was watching and thought the Dutch batsmen had at least set a vaguely defendable target. They're bloody savage. I still don't see how Phil Salt is in England colours, he's done well, but I never thought he was that level. You could literally pick about 20 batters to replace him as well.
I don't think the Dutch would beat a county side. English cricket is going from strength to strength, certainly in white ball.
