Test Draft for a tour of Asia

[Fuller Pilch]

I assume in a Draft the teams are supposed to play against each other, no? For touring Asia in this context simply means to play in Asian countries/conditions. If anything, Asian players have more experience and hence, are better suited for them than even the best of tourists.

I agree. Asian players are more successful tourists in Asia and in Asian conditions. They find it easier to communicate, probably get better deals when shopping at the markets, don't stick out as much so avoid being hassled by scammers and tour guides etc., have more tolerance for hot weather and spicy food, are generally smaller* so fit into tuk tuks more easily (* Inzy is an exception), and have less distance to travel so jet lag is not an issue.

As an outsider looking in, I see @Kenneth Viljoen and @kingkallis are selecting as I would have done. How can you have a team touring Asia that includes numerous Asians? What happens to those Asian teams they are supposedly playing against? Keep it up both of you. I'm going to vote when the opportunity arises.

I took the Title a bit too seriously and decided to build a team only with non Asian Cricketers.

Which I would have done until advised otherwise. Hence my decision not to play.
