    Namibia has won the ICC Africa Twenty20 Championship that gives them a shot at the wt20 qualifiers later this year, which will see 6 teams join the teams ranked 9 and 10 for next year's wt20's preliminary round. So this tournament was a qualifying tournament for a qualifying tournament for a...

    Where now for the Associates?

    Khurram Khan will probably retire soon. I cant see Tauqir continuing for too long either with him being no spring chicken and having other profesisonal commitments. We wouldnt want too many UAE players ending there careers after the world cup... imagine no returns on all that experience of...

    *Official* Emerging Nations Cricket Thread

    This may have been mentioned elsewhere but Phil Simmons is leaving his job to take up the west indies post. I'd say he did a good job with the team and was widely respected. Good luck to him with WI and let's hope ireland can find a suitable replacement Ireland's next assignment is a home...

    Bob Appleyard is no more - Death of Yorkshire cricket legend Bob Appleyard - Yorkshire Post Way before my days but he helps put most of our daily struggles into perspective. I cant think of a tougher man to have played cricket

    Chances of a 12 team tournament in 2019?

    Played Purdy :laugh: https://twitter.com/purdy34/status/577744735709896704 The comments are heartening as always - an overwhelming majority of cricket fans that i know want to see associates at the world cup. Probably they dont want it enough to put their money where there mouths are and...

    Chances of a 12 team tournament in 2019?

    You have my sword :cool: What makes it particularly senseless is that the principal host is close to 3 teams that have a shot at qualifying for a 14+ team tournament. There is no reason why the ICC cannot award a match or two to Ireland*, where they could have sell out crowds. Now I realise...

    Brendon Taylor first world cup Kolpak to sign for County cricket,Who's next.

    Can anyone tell me if its an ICC rule or an ECB rule that prevents Taylor from concurrently playing as a kolpak and internationals for zimbabwe? I had always assumed the icc prevented players from full member nations playing as a domestic in one country and representing another one...

    33rd Match - England v Bangladesh (9th March)

    Actually it'll be far sooner than the amount of time Joyce had to spend in the wilderness. They've relaxed the rules since then http://icc-live.s3.amazonaws.com/cms/media/about_docs/523af0cd4a1db-Player%20Eligibility%20Rules%20-%20effective%2018%20September%202013.pdf Rankin will be...

    Are UAE players citizens?

    Tauqir is indeed an Emirati and a citizen. Farhad Alhashmi is another emirati but he hasnt played a game this world cup. I am not sure about Amjad Javed but the article below suggests that he is Pakistani Mohammad Tauqir to lead UAE squad for World Cup | GulfNews.com

    Ireland Fans Society

    Apparently Kerrigan has irish roots but he'll not qualify until 2017 and I'm not too sure he'll play ahead of Dockrell amyway. Plunkett was on the radar as well and would have qualified this feb but he got a recall. And IIRC Sean Ervine has an irish passport but I dont think he was too keen on...
