Part 2.....India & New Zealand

 

[honestbharani]

Have quietly been a fan of how Pakistan are restructuring their domestic competitions tbh. They also seem to be prioritizing women's cricket which is good to see. I hope these last and are not a flavor of the month stuff like a lot of their decisions seem to be.

India

SYED MUSHTAQ ALI TROPHY (Holders Mumbai)

This is the T20 Competition for all the Indian State sides, This will start on the 16th October & there will be 5 groups (of 7 and 8) teams will play each other once before the top 2 qualify for the knockouts where the best 6 get direct access to the Quarter finals while the other 4 will play off for the remaining 2 places. Then its a knockout all the way through. The final of this competition will be on the 5th November

The competition will kick off on 19th December and the final will be played on 28th January.



Nothing to be found for Bangladesh & West Indies Cricket. Sri Lanka cricket kicked off in July.

 

[Fuller Pilch]

I assume that cricket finishes in the Windies with the CPL (currently on) and that the 50 over and 1st class stuff has already finished.

 

[GoodAreasShane]

Created a thread for the upcoming Aus domestic season, because it deserves FAR better than a general thread like this one

 

[Nintendo]

I like the idea of a general thread like this for some of the less discussed comps. Don't know if AUS or NZ needs to be on here, and there's a fair amount of discussion for the SA season usually isn't there?

 

[trundler]

Both President Cup and QeA Trophy are FC.

Fair point. But i was on a bit of a roll

Will focus on Pakistan & South Africa on this

 

[Socerer 01]

for such a big country with so many domestic teams the lack of discussion on Indian domestic cricket beyond scorecards on here is weird while other country men discuss even youth level, minor counties and grade cricket

Thats true. Perhaps somehow we can all change that

 

[GoodAreasShane]

Sorry if my initial post came off a little harsh, I definitely think this thread in general is a good idea

It's all good. You are spot on Australian Cricket needs its own thread
