*Official* England 'A' in CWLand

[chaminda_00]

Woah, this just up on CricInfo:
England A Robert Key (capt), Alastair Cook, Owais Shah, Ed Joyce, Ravi Bopara, Alex Loudon, Rikki Clarke, Chris Read, Liam Plunkett, Chris Tremlett, Sajid Mahmood
Will we be playing those guys? Man that's a strong team, Tremlett, Joyce, Cook and Plunkett in particular.

Some of those guys will probably getting cheap wickets and runs against Sri Lanka.

Looks like a good tour, good to get to play for the Colts in the Dev League off-season.

[Pratters]

Super schedule Hakon!

[Kheldar19]

Get a chance to see if any of us young guns can prove our mettle. Always good.

Woah, that's one hell of a challenging squad.

[age_master]

yeah, our A squad is coming together quite nicely though too

[dontcloseyoureyes]

Oh no doubt, looking forward to watching these games from the stands. (and the bar)

Thats if your not playing...

Thats if your not playing...

I'd love to think so, but there's a few openers around that have been in good form that have been around much longer. Either way I'm happy.

Even though the England A play against the CW Dev League teams, and the U/19 side?

[mikeW]

Will be a very tough series by the looks of England's squad.

Well I'd play a couple of Black games, but the u-19 game is OD and I haven't been much of a performer in the OD's. I actually completely forgot about the games against Dev League teams

If the selectors go for youth, i would be surprised if your not in the A Sqaud, IMO your the 2nd best young opener behind Thamba and he probably would be playing Tests.

I wonder if the Under-19 Selectors are still looking for OD players, rather than the whole package. That aside, looks a great series, I for one, will be hoping for a call-up to the Red Squad to face the English. As Eric said above, good chance for everyone to show some stuff and hopefully get into international reckoning.
