I see there are very few associate matches in Q3 but may get scheduled later. If not scheduled, it might be a struggle to replace the associates with test team players.Be honest, who thinks they cut too deep this time?
Many players were recycled.
I did think about Andy Umeed but I saw he wasn't in the Scotland squad that is going to train in Zimbabwe, and it was basically a full strength squad so I thought it's not worth risking.Bit surprised Andy McBrine didn't get picked up. Ireland have a decent fixture list for the quarter and he's a bowler who fits into the "useful tailender" category.
He was in a four-way toss-up for my final spot with Evin Lewis (who I picked ultimately because yer Windies have a heavier schedule), Amir Jangoo (who one notes SS nabbed) and Andy Umeed (who also went unselected, but I think is absent from the database so maybe more understandable).
Yes. Tear and Umeed would have been among the first few picks otherwise.I did think about Andy Umeed but I saw he wasn't in the Scotland squad that is going to train in Zimbabwe, and it was basically a full strength squad so I thought it's not worth risking.
Likely in pre-season with Sussex and Somerset respectively?Yes. Tear and Umeed would have been among the first few picks otherwise.
Yes, with the season starting, it's an unknown on how many of these associate players will make themselves available to play for their countries instead of county.Likely in pre-season with Sussex and Somerset respectively?
