Sikander Raza opted to SA20 or ILT 2023

Yes. Hopefully he is back for the tests.

 

[andruid]

So...Ireland has only played 3 test matches since they were granted the status in 2019 (ish). They get a 4th against Bangladesh in April which is nice

It's really nice to see all these associate players rocking up in the BPL and IT20.

I liked to watch Scotland matches

Nepal release Captain Sandeep Lamichahne for Cricket matches, who faces rape charges but if Government or Court demands, he has to go back for Court proceedings.

Sandeep took the 18 year old girl in Hotel/Motel in Kathmandu & Raped her as Girl says to police.Sandeeo denied rape charges, " I liked her , but I did not even touch her"

 

[G. S. Kohli]

Nepal
Karan KC, Rohit Paudel (c), Aarif Sheikh, Kushal Bhurtel, Sompal Kami, Aasif Sheikh, Dipendra Singh Airee, Arjun Saud, Gyanendra Malla, Harishankar Shah, Gulsan Jha, Lalit Rajbanshi, Sagar Dhakal, Nandan Yadav

NAM squad:Bernard Scholtz, JJ Smit, Pikky Ya France, Zane Green (wk), Ruben Trumpelmann, Gerhard Erasmus (c), Tangeni Lungameni, Jan Nicol Loftie-Eaton, Lohandre Louwrens, Divan la ****, Ben Shikongo, Michael van Lingen, Karl Birkenstock

Rohit captain today as Sandeep L.out with court order

 

[G. S. Kohli]

Erasmus in good form

 

[G. S. Kohli]

Lingen digs in well so far but namibia lost openers

 

[HeathDavisSpeed]

Odd to open with Birkenstock. I suppose Namibia have always struggled for openers and rotated through various sub-par options to protect their middle/lower-middle order somewhat.

285 good score. M. Lingen hits his 3rd ton, Erasmus Whack 50 odd & 34 from Green

Karan kc & Sandeep L shared 8 wkts

 

[G. S. Kohli]

Nepal, if loose, Bhurtel & Rohit Earlier, I doubt they can even reaches 275.?

So far 14 bowlers were used in 83 overs from both the side,What a innings by Bhurtel & Rohit!!

Nepal need 100 more for win in last 17 overs or so 8 wkts on hand
Nepal won thriller by 2 wkts with 2:ball spare
Bhurtel hits 133

 

[GotSpin]

Argentina cleaned up Uruguay in their annual fixture. Couple solid wins there

 

[G. S. Kohli]

Sufiyan Sharif closer to 100 ODI wkts with The wicket of in-form Erasmus & Lingen as Namibia ater loosing toss

27/3 vs Scotland

Where are JJ Smit and Jan Frylinck? I'm assuming Frylinck must be injured in some way as he played in the Nepal game as a batsman only.

EDIT: Both injured:

Star all-rounder JJ Smit is still unavailable due to a knee injury, but Jan Frylinck has recovered from injury and is back in the squad, which shows one new cap in CCD opening batter Joshuan Julius, is as follows:

Gerhard Erasmus (captain), Lohan Louwrens, Michael van Lingen, Nicol Loftie-Eaton, Jan Frylinck, Zane Green, Karl Birkenstock, Helao Ya France, Tangeni Lungameni, Ruben Trumpelmann, Bernard Scholtz, Ben Shikongo, Shaun Fouche and Josuan Julius.

Guessing Wiese may have retired? Much weaker team without Smit and Frylinck.

Smit was injured a month or so ago and had to pull out of the IT20 in the UAE cause of it, assume it's the same injury. Weise still rocks up for T20 wc games, assume it's more a case of franchise cricket paying more. He's over in the PSL atm.

 

[GoodAreasShane]

Smit has had a dodgy knee for a while iirc
