    T20 squad only: Alice Capsey (Surrey), Danni Wyatt-Hodge (Surrey), Issy Wong (Warwickshire), Paige Scholfield (Surrey)

    Sophie Ecclestone came back from injury last week but has left out becasue she is not at 100%. Maia Bouchier dropped while Freya Kemp, Danielle Gibson and Lauren Filer are all injured.

    Lydia Greenway is the new selector for the Women working with Charlotte Edwards, the managing director of Women’s cricket Clare Connor and performance director Jonathan Finch.

    Not hugely inspiring selections, but Mahika Gaur is the 6'4" left arm quick I've mentioned previously. One to keep an eye on (and will be hard to miss).

    I don’t think they have the options. Maybe there is a big issue with youth talent ID in women’s cricket. You watch the women’s rugby and football and they have identified what is required for specific roles (height, specific athleticism etc). That is just not the case with the cricket team.

    I don't disagree. How they've handled Issy Wong for example, who was showing real promise as a teenager, has been poor.
    I'd just rather see some of the younger talent given a chance (Grace Scrivens, Ryana MacDonald-Gay, for example) who could develop into good players, rather than those in their late 20s with more limited long term potential.

    The BBC say Charlotte Edwards and Lydia Greenway seem more committed to picking players who are in good form at the time in domestic cricket than building players who are not yet playing at the highest capable levels.

    Talk is that is will get them banned from the next two IPL’s. Suspect also India won’t be in the mood to show any speed to processing the likes of Ahmed’s and Mahmood’s visa next year for the T20 World Cup.

    And the opposite of South Africa who have folded after trying to do this.

    Unlike you to assume the worst case scenario. They won't get banned, the original NOCs where for the duration of the tournament (which as we know has been rescheduled due to exceptional circumstances), the West Indies games have been in the calendar for a while and didn't previously overlap the tournament. You really think the IPL are going to ban Jos Buttler for fulfilling international commitments that where always in the calendar?

    The South Africa situation is different they don't actually have international fixtures clashing with the competition.

    South Africa have a 4 day warm up match for the Test Championship final during the dates. Not an official test match through. The face they have gone back for the rest of the original dates will probably reduce the chances they go for the Ban but who knows for sure - The ECB certainly seems to think it’s a possibility by the statements they put out praising the IPL.

    The fact the dates of the tournament have changed is fundamental, and the sole reason they won't get banned, surely that's easy to see.
    Right so as I established not an international fixture (thus part of the FTP, and with points/rankings on the line) so very different from England's reality.
    What was the statement? Think its right to praise the IPL for how they've reorganised the tournament in such short time, if that's what they've done

    If they try to ban any players over the change of dates then it'll soon get shot down in court.

    I’m not sure it would. It’s a private competition that can set its own rules.

    Players could easily argue that it's a restriction on their careers/earning potential and given there's an international calendar in cricket, that they've stuck to that, so unless it's specifically within their contracts that they can move the dates the BCCI wouldn't have much of a case.

    Two of England's senior cricket analysts, Nathan Leamon and Freddie Wilde, are leaving the set-up in a move that suggests the national side will place less emphasis on data moving forward. (Daily Telegraph)

    Not sport related but I guess it’s another year of a near bottom finish in Eurovision :ROFLMAO:

    Sorry, being in Sweden I get stuck watching this with obsessed Eurovision fans whilst drinking copious amounts of alcohol to get me through the night :ROFLMAO:

    I'm not interested in it. If it was England competing in it I'd watch it. Though I went to my sisters tonight for a family eurovision get together I sat in the backyard

    Do they take it seriously over there? I remember talking to a Romanian girl about it when they won, she was really proud. I always thought it was a bit of a joke competition, like people like it because it’s so bad type of thing.
