Zia ul Haq is supposed to be a real good prospect. He is around 17/18 and bowls in the mid 80's and can swing the ball both ways (is a lefty).

Seam up, how does the wrist test work? And is it accurate?

Fawad Khan did quite well with the ball, looks to be a spinner as he was a 2nd or 3rd change most of the time.

Can't imagine it will be exact and I think they do allow a 6 month error or so. All they do is try to estimate how the bone structure should be more or less at the required age for the tournament. Not an exact science but close enough is good enough I guess.

I wonder if the ICC use it?

If Flower is really serious about trying to win the 2015 WC this tournament should be very important to him. Try and identify some good young OD players and get them ready for the big one in four years.

No.

Googled 'Ehsan Adil' and came up with this

According to that his D.O.B. is 30-11-1999 which makes him approx 12 years 1 month old. He has 37 wickets @ 17 in the domestic U-19 long-version tournament.

****s me how someone aged 11(when the tournament was going on) can do that.

Looks older than 12 too, IMO.

Looks older than me tbh.

Remember Afghanistan U19s in the last U19 WC? They had guys who looked older than my old man.

 

[TT Boy]

So its been a while since we heard about a good teen talent from India. Have we found someone with potential yet? We found Kohli in the 2008 tournament and haven't found anyone good since.

Jadeja was from that side as well. I'm not Indian so I think he is a good cricketer.

 

[Flem274*]

Adam Milne will still be eligible for this I think, and possibly Matt Henry as well.

 

[Agent Nationaux]

Kid looks 16/17, but I don't know your age.

 

[Agent Nationaux]

Same guy I think, looks way older. 12 lol

 

[Furball]

Same guy I think, looks way older. 12 lol

Presumably he's disregarding all the years he spent without adult teeth when revealing his age.

 

[Cabinet96]

No, we won't. players would learn far far more from playing county cricket.

I agree that they would get more experience playing county cricket, but I think they'll still send their best squad. It will be a good way to get overseas experience as well.

 

[Xuhaib]

in fairness to the12yr old there are few other errors on his profile page so maybe theyalso the year of birth wrong.

 

[SeamUp]

Adam Milne will still be eligible for this I think, and possibly Matt Henry as well.

5 months too old. So just misses out.

 

[Flem274*]

Milne or Henry?

 

[SeamUp]

Milne or Henry?

Oh sorry mate, didn't see Henry but looked now and he is older than Milne. I was referring to Milne.

Have to be born after 1 September 1992 to qualify.

 

[Flem274*]

Damn. Would have been fun to see Milne bowling 150kph at people his own age.

 

[Shri]

No.

Why not? Kohli debuted for India after winning the U19 WC in 2008 and was a pivotal part of the 2011 campaign. England could find someone good too.

 

[SteveNZ]

I can't think of a single NZer who will be eligible. When I say that, I mean I can't think of any playing FC cricket, before anyone gets cheeky and suggests their 9 year old cousin falls into the category.

Not a single player from the 2010 World Cup is eligible for New Zealand in this edition, and they haven't played a game since that tournament. I really don't have much hope for this years team.

 

[Flem274*]

The HRV Cup is where it's at /NZC

why would anyone like milne or cummins who has played at senior level and is a regular at the top domestic level want to or be allowed by the respective countries to play in this. For countries this should be about development rather than winning at all costs. workloads are tough enough without adding u19 wc's to the schedule.

with regards to topley. i don't know why he wasn't selected in the recent england u-19 squad but a hunch is that at present he is not a very good one day player. His bowling relies on swing and the white ball is notoriously harder to swing that the red. he's still pretty raw

i can see some of the the english counties not being particularly pleased if they have to release players for this - although the ecb may make them. The only two players in the current squad who are likely to be regulars for their counties next season are bell-drummond(kent) and ball(kent). Personally i think if anyone is a regular at domestic level then they shouldn't leave that for a junior event. The other players are unlikely to be regulars by then and i'm sure the counties will be happy to release them to aid their development.
