How can we add 2 Test players? They don't finish in Pakistan until Monday and then they've got the NZ Tour a month later.

It does look light on batting though.

It's not uncommon for a player to be on one continent today playing cricket and then hop on a plane to play in another. Some players who participated in The Hundred have done this. However, I think these test players will also play in the latter part of the ODI series.

Can’t wait to see John Turner miss out yet again

 

[wpdavid]

Someone remind me why Jamie Overton is in the squad?

My point was more that surely the Test players would need a break after the Pakistan series before jetting off to NZ, not heading to the Caribbean for some hit and giggle stuff. Although, I guess there's worse places to rest up.....

There's a possibility being that those being picked to join the team in the Caribbean will most likely not be on the tour to NZ?

Buttler out as Pepper joins Salt.

 

[Starfighter]

If Salt and Pepper don't open the England innings together I'll be very disappointed.

 

[Chubb]

This is the kind of pointless series that places an unreasonable workload on players - of both sides, since Windies' white ball team are playing in Sri Lanka right now.

Nice little vacay for the Barmy Army = $$$ for our board

I’d have thought the only England fans turning up were the ones who were on hols there anyway. Barmy Army more likely to be seen in NZ or saving up for Ashes.

 

[wends23]

Does anyone know which hotel the Barmy Army are staying in?

 

[Chin Music]

I'm pretty sure Rehan Ahmed will join this series as I'd be amazed if he gets to tour NZ. Of the other test players, who knows, possibly Carse? But after his excellent and far from a*** two tests in Pakistan, surely they would want him for extra zip in NZ?

Salt and Pepper in the team together

Apols, I don't know. Can I say that when I did a few trips abroad, and to be honest it is a fair few years ago now, they have become a glorified package holiday. I knew a fair few folk who were far better at finding cheaper flights and affordable hotels than what they were doing and some of their organisers didn't like it when they found out from the independent travellers that they had found a better deal.

That's what we have done. Over £1K cheaper! Tickets for 2 x PAX for both ODI's £45

Should be a good series

Fair play. I would always check what I could get independently before I go. Quite honestly, I often found that I would either recognise people from previous tours and end up having beers with them or that I knew people going anyway and we would meet up.
