Dear Centre Cricket Manager,
I would like to please invite any Indoor Cricketers who may have slipped
through the net, to the Men’s/Women’s/U21 Boys and Girls Open trials for
the England Squads. The World Cup is taking place in Dubai, from the 16th
– 23rd September 2017. Please note that our departure and arrival dates
have not been finalised yet. However it is likely to be departing 3 days
before the tournament and arriving back on the 24th/25th September. Also
not finalised is the cost of the tour, which at best is estimated to be
around £2000.
Please note that there has already been a number of other events in which
performances have been noted (Super League, British Open, All Stars
Tournament, Open Trials on the 11th), however we would like to extend our
invite to people who may have not received information about the above
events.
The age group for the Juniors World Cup has been changed by the WICF
to 21 and under. Therefore, players must be 21 or under during the
tournament itself, so if someone turns 22 during the tournament they
would be become illegible to play.
Note all players trialling for the Men’s and Women’s Squads must be
playing in the National League 2017. U21 Players must participate in the
Under 21 Open, unless there is suitable reason for missing this weekend. It
would be beneficial for the U21’s to play in the National League too, as it
gives more exposure to members of the selection committee.
The initial two dates stated in the poster will be attended by all those
already in the trial system. All newcomers will be assessed during these
two sessions and will either be asked to return or notified that they have
not made it to the second stage of trials. If they do not make it to the
second stage of trials, then participating in the tournaments above is not
compulsory. If they make it through to the second stage, their category
will continue training/trialling every other week until selections are made at
the start of April. Please note that the costs of sessions are £7.50, and they
will last a minimum of 3 hours.
Lastly, this letter is for your eyes only, and allows for you to give players
information about the trial process. I have also attached a copy of a poster
that you can distribute within your centres to advertise to potential trialists.
Kind Regards
