CWBCC announces Off Season Tours

[Mr Mxyzptlk]

The new look CWBCC is pleased to announce the offseason schedule. Following Season X, we expect to see a packed offseason of cricket unlike any other since CWLand was elevated to a Test nation. Senior tours, 'A' team tours, U-19 tours, club cricket, and of course, the World Cup.

Firm dates and venues have not yet been confirmed, but we present to you the upcoming series:

Cricket Web XI in Australia (3 Tests, 3 ODIs)
England 'A' in CWLand (tour matches involving all domestic FC teams as well as CW 'A')
New Zealand and Holland in CWLand (ODIs - format to be determined)
The ICC Cricket World Cup
Cricket Web U-19s in Europe

This should all take us into July and allow everyone some club cricket building into Season XI. Club contracts will begin roughly around the start of the World Cup, ensuring that all CW players remain active.

Has the ICC deemed CW XI not worthy of more than 3 tests a calendar year or something?

We've played 2 already. This will make it 5 + a World Cup.

ODI's against Holland?

ODI's against Holland?

Correct, Holland were elevated to ODI status on 1 January 2006 like all the other nations to participate in the World Cup.

 

[Mister Wright]

Looks like a very interesting off season ahead. Should be fun!

 

[roseboy64]

I concur. Just hope I can make the CWXI teams.

Good luck to you guys, I hope you play well and bring home the goods against the Aussies.

Looks like a very good schedule allowing the national team to have a good build up to the world cup. 3 Test Matches against Australia should be pretty massive for the Test boys, really will give them a chance to see where they are at. And the CW A and the Under 19s get their own tours too which will alllow guys on the fringes to push their claims for future honours.

 

[FaaipDeOiad]

Looks good, lots of stuff going on, and a good buildup for the world cup.

 

[Robertinho]

Looks great, looking forward to it. I think playing Holland in ODI's and the U-19's going anywhere in Europe apart from the UK is a bit pointless though. Meh. Go CW for the World Cup

 

[dontcloseyoureyes]

Looks good.

 

[bryce]

A nice packed off-season schedule. Hopefully I can help the CWXI take on Ponting's men. If not i'm bound to feature in at least one of those series.

 

[vic_orthdox]

Any idea on which of those will conflict?

 

[Simon]

looks like a good set up, im hopeful of making the A tour to maybe get my name back in front of the selectors for future test selection...

 

[kears_falcon_9]

Sounds like a great offseason. Hope to have some great success this year with the teams.

 

[Slats4ever]

awesome!!! great to get a chance to take on the aussies to see where we really are.. and then go on to win the world cup... hopefully i can continue the form

 

[Robertinho]

Ian's form > Ponting & Hussey's.
