I’ve decided to make a tribute thread to all the guys that have gone from playing for national Under 19s side to play for the senior national team. Currently we have only have four, but hopefully there will be many more to come in the future. Just so you guys know o didn’t put Thamba there as he made his debut for the seniors before he played for the Under 19s. Also if possible could Liam or Hakon put a link up of to the matches that these guys made their debuts in, that would be much appreciated.

Again congrats to the four trail blazers for being the first four guys to make the step up.

Not sure if anyone reads this but, Alex Champton got added to the list after making his debut against Pakistan.

Is that an intentional typo to give Crampton a nickname? I like it, btw.

Haha, Champton. Didn't know this thread existed, good stuff. I recommend everyone in the U19s take it seriously, it's a great experience. I've also made my Test debut if you want to chuck that in

At the moment he's more of a champ than crap, considering his call up and ODI 50*.

Good stuff, Tharmi.

Solid work mate

Good job, interesting thread. Hopefully we get more graduates.

Alright got few things i need to update at Under 19 level before the start of the season. The first one is official acknowleage Mike Wilson and Kev Goughy as the 5th and 6th Under 19 players to graduate to the National team. Mike previously had made his ODI debut for Cricket Web, but like Thamba that was before he played Under 19s.

Three new guys added to Graduate list after the Chairmen's Throphy. Sriram, Smith and Scott.

Congrats guys.
