^^Can we play with this team? I know this isn’t what you meant.

^^In a quick scan, only Novak and Jeremy Chardy seem recognizable names to me. None in the girls (or ladies?) side.

Wait, “I shan’t” is still being paid to play T20? Is it because of “that” one spell to Ponting eons ago? And, Ponting is making decisions for DC, right?

Good. Improves my perspective. Thanks.

I’m sorry; under-14 doesn’t say much. Does anyone have data on Indian under-14 players’ progress to Men’s? What about the rest of the world? How many of current top-100 (or past) play these tournaments? Just a few examples will help. This may not even be a very old competition.

their own time.

Mohinder Amarnath over the likes of Vengsarkar and Viswanath, if they are in consideration. Even otherwise, as a batting all rounder over others would be a worthy consideration.
