News: No Barnett, Billclif or Thurasingham in Canada squad…

The squad announced for the Kenya triseries (seems like this is still on) and the WCL is:

1. John Davison ( Captain) BC
2. George Codrington (Vice Captain) ON
3. Desmond Chumney ON
4. Sundeep Jyoti ON
5. Qaiser Ali QB
6. Don Maxwell ON
7. Abdool Samad ON
8. Kevin Sandhar BC
9. Henry Osinde ON
10. Austin Codrington ON
11. Ashish Bagai ON
12. Ashif Mulla ON
13. Sunil Dhaniram ON
14. Umar Bhatti ON
15. Anderson Cummins ON

The surprise inclusion is that of Anderson Cummins, the former WI pace bowler who used to play ‘4th’ fiddle to Ambrose, Walsh and Bishop during the early 90s. He is 41 years old. The other thing is that if Billcliff and Barnett are not available for something as important as the WCL, which determines not only standings going into the world cup, but seeding for the 2009 ICC Trophy, and also is a qualifying tournament for the Twenty20 World Championships in 2007, then one would need to ask why.

At least Davison is back.
