Stupid. U simply can’t leave out Zhuwao and Williams for those two. Mavuta bowls 3 bad balls an over, whilst Murray won’t average over 20... I’m all for including them if better players weren’t being left out, but this simply isn’t the case. We are throwing away what would’ve been a chance to win a tri series.

I’m being told that Williams isn’t making himself available as he’s not been paid what he’s due.

I’m being told that Williams isn’t making himself available as he’s not been paid what he’s due.

It's sad if that has reared it's head again. But interesting that only Williams is complaining about non payment. Are these the first indications of an incumbent getting miffed with the rumored advance payment to Taylor and Jarvis? In any case, the current version of Williams probably hasn't realized that he might lose out by this. Quite possible that one of the hungry youngsters might take his place for good... The mess unraveling slowly if this is true.

Who is Zhuwao...if its Cephas, an average of 25 across formats doesn't bode too well especially for an overseas tour.

Williams should have played.

anyone want to share the squad ? If Williams has not been payed and spat it this could be the last we see of him. He’s always been a big ego and thinks he’s shieet don’t stank but will be a big loss. Anyway if anyone’s got the squad that b great , can’t find it anywhere on the net.

Not a bad group of 15. I think both SL and BD have a lot of left handers, so Raza would have more value than Willy as a spinner. Waller can probably provide the same late order flourish that Willy can - Waller is more explosive as well.

With Raza a specialist off spinner is also not needed.

Is Mavuta a leggie? A wrist spinner could prove to be very useful. The Lankans are probably bringing two of them on this tour. Only BD will be without any wrist spinners.
