Congratulations to the managers of Kadeem Alam, Ya'qub Omer, Malik Ibraheem, Tawfiq Armanjani and Ishan Nasri who are making their tour debuts
Many thanks to the managers of Malik Sulayman, Yousif Shadi (ooh that's me), Abu Taymulla and Misbah Issa who will be playing in their final U20 tours (as will Armanjani who is 21.00 already)
We're optimistic of success this tour with our most balanced seam attack I can remember and a solid batting unit. Particularly high hopes rest with Aliyy and Taymulla on the batting side, and Ghayth for the bowlers.
First game starts very soon- we're up against Ireland in Sunny/Uneven conditions.

Fingers crossed this period of success continues!
