I do find it funny how none of the young white lads from the most recent Under 19 CWC is there. Andy Blignaut's twin boys are supposed to be pretty good too I believe?

They offered Macmillan a contract, and he turned it down. He and Schonken both went to the UK.

I don't blame them. Why would anybody agree to live in a ZC-controlled rat-infested dormitory eating sadza and mealworm rations and get coached by wholly unserious 'coaches', where at least half of your fellow 'academy members' barely know how to hold a cricket bat, when you have the option to go and study and play in the UK in world class facilities and probably get a degree that gives you options for life.

They can live in freezing cold rat infested UK student accommodation with black mould on the walls and live off pot noodles and takeaway pizza

According to Mawoza, the academy will soon play franchises that will be on bye. The academy also consists of 40 players with an age range of 15 to 23.
