Excellent! I see Behardien was playing today in South Africa...out for 8 hit wicket!

On the domestic front, Kolpak players will not be allowed to play county cricket after the end of this year as a result of the UK’s exit from the European Union. The ECB has issued guidance to the 18 first-class counties informing them that they will only be able to employ Kolpak cricketers as overseas players in 2021, regardless of whether they are in the middle of a multi-year deal.

I'm not even sure that they are here under the kolpak rule anyway

I've always thought a sensible overseas rule would be 1 per county plus an extra one for each player that the developing county has lost to a central contract. That would focus counties on developing their academies. Taxi for Hampshire!

That's a good idea!

Neither will count as an overseas player as Behardien has ended his international career to take advantage of the Kolpak ruling, which is still in place for now despite the Britain's departure from the European Union, and Bedingham has a UK visa through a member of his family.
westoelad wrote:Yes, got them mixed up. Should have realised by name, Bedingham would seem the most likely to have British ancestry. He's also rated as the most promising w/k in South Africa. Don't know where that leaves your ex-Irish mate with 3 w/is in the likely 1st team.
