Ashok and Foxcroft in the T20I squad, you love to see it

SA in player availability conundrum for NZ Tests as T20 leagues encroach on bilateral commitments
The two-Test series, which will begin on February 4 in Tauranga, will currently clash with the latter stages of the SA20

South Africa might be sending a second string test side because it clashes with their T20 comp which has first call on players.

Though you can just swap the Aus and SA tests round, right? Or cancel the SA tour and make the Aus tour five tests, I dunno
That's horse **** scheduling and priority making. Absolute dog ****.
I'm sorry, the CSA has guaranteed the SA20 access to players over and above international cricket, but it's also booked an international series at the tail-end of that comp? Am I reading this wrong that this is unprecedented lunacy for a national Board to play a part in international scheduling and have it clash with their own comp? Because I'm aware NZC and the likes plan international schedules that clash with franchise leagues elsewhere...but not their own comp then potentially not release their own players to play in the international schedule they organised.

Anyone keen to make a big thing of the Australia Test at the Basin? I think the last time around there was a few of us attending. I think I might even have been around when Hurricane refused to stand to acknowledge Voges, but that might be a false memory tbf.

Yeah he's gotta be straight in IMO. Macewell was such a weirdly huge loss for the balance of the team. Foxcroft could actually be better though.

stoked for addy ashok and foxcroft but cmmon man clarkson in t20 at this point is a no brainer....

Yeah it's bizarre. Clarkson was arguably the cross-format form player of last season and yet he can't even get picked for NZA, let alone NZ. Hard to know what the selectors are thinking.

As I said in the other thread Shipley not going to England is a bit odd for me. Reckon he'd thrive there. I guess Milne is still above him in the pecking order.

Yeah… if they can’t have any players from the SA20 comp, that’s not gonna be a second string side… that’s gonna essentially be a youth development team with someone like Dean Elgar thrown in that doesn’t get a T20 contract.
Potentially a massive letdown.

NZC not open to negotiating 2024 SA Test dates
"We've collaborated and agreed dates with CSA, who have confirmed the tour, acknowledged the arrangements and have been in receipt of the schedule for several weeks," NZC says
