Great, look forward to what should be a good series.

*remembers back to his CW 'A' days when we toured England*

 

[chaminda_00]

Wow thats is a massive tour, i gather that the Test and ODI players selected for the Australian tour wont be selected for CW A.

 

[chooka_nick]

Great to see the Colts playing a few games! And I recon the CW U19s game will be a cracker...

 

[Simon]

should be a good tour for England A and should see most people in the system get a game or two somewhere against some good opposition.

 

[dontcloseyoureyes]

Oooh, this looks very good. Pity there's no 5-day u-19 game Looking forward to taking on the English for CW Black, though.

 

[dinu23]

looking forward to this.

 

[FaaipDeOiad]

Looks good.

When can we expect a CW "A" squad to be named, with the tourists arriving on the 1st? I'd imagine it would coincide with the naming of the first team?

The first-class "A" squad will, indeed, be named on May 1, and the one-day squad some days later. The players selected will be assembled in a CW Academy training camp, to simulate touring conditions and keep more CW players playing cricket against England "A".

Some of those guys will probably getting cheap wickets and runs against Sri Lanka.

 

[Burpey]

Looks like a good tour, good to get to play for the Colts in the Dev League off-season.
