Cricket-Match-Special ... A forum for discussion

Plenty of notice for this one. The Champions Trophy might start on the 19th of Feb, if India agree. Some if it might even be taking place in the host country except for matches involving India and you never know... if India get knocked out, the final might take place in the host country.... a radical prospect. England might play Afghanistan, then again, they might not. Other teams might choose not to play Afghanistan either.... or they might

Hey what could go wrong

At least the FL can be relied upon to provide quality entertainment without controversy, other than the odd sarky comment about how old Virat is, how out of form Virat is with possibly the occasional suggestion that he might not quite be the player he was.... which is less political and more heretical......but I digress

The more eagle eyed of you will have noted that there are no squads for India or Pakistan.... perhaps they are still trying to work out whether to show up
