2024/25 franchise teams

[Googly]

Banks has gone to Uni. Schadendorf was in the Rocks side.
The guy they should be making a space for is Jarrod Basson, technically very good, a lot better than a lot of the other fc players, and he's an opener, and he can bowl leg spin, but they won't.

Also Clive Chitumba deserves a fc spot, and he'll get one. Spot the problem?

Chitumba has been playing franchise for Mountaineers for years. With less than great results to be fair.

I’d like to see Imbayago, Makauyo and Ali Aqil get franchise chances. And Phrase Mukabeta.

What does Basson do for a living? He might not be up for 4 days in Mas Vegas playing Logan Cup every week for $50, if he has a career.

[secretzimbo]

Newman Nyamhuri has a good debut season in England. It’ll be interesting to see how he goes this year.

Ali Hamid also been in England so we’ve forgotten him but he had a brilliant Logan Cup last year. Interesting to see if he can do that again.

I didn't see his name last season, but he had a really good NPL, a bit inconsistent, but still did enough.

Ya i like the look of Ali Aqil. He's put in some consistent scores, which was always his problem.

Basson works, but I've heard he'd like to give it a go.
It's an uphill struggle though- white, played for Rangers, a bit older etc. He'd have to have a blistering couple of seasons to be in with a shout, and it would have to coincide with the Chosen ones getting 10 ducks in a row each.

Nyamhuri I'm looking forward to seeing. In a very poor Zimbabwe under 19 side he was one that caught my eye.

Banks has gone to Uni. Schadendorf was in the Rocks side.

So he won't be seen in local pro cricket until 2028 at the earliest then...

[Googly]

He's not part of any long term plans , in the words of a famous selector, he'd have to be twice as good!

I get that... but even if he was...

Ie, his absence for the foreseeable future will not be due to any conspiracy.
