We hope to have training
during the winter with a view to forming
new teams for 2010
Selection
will be limited to residents of
London. Each team will consist
of a minimum of nine players between
the ages of 16 and 25. Each team
will be allowed to field a maximum
of two players over the age of
25. No international cricketer
below the age of 40 is eligible.
No player registered with a first-class
or minor county club in England
or Wales is eligible.
IMPORTANT
INFORMATION
PLEASE READ
Trials
are open to all and will involve
an opportunity to bat and bowl in
either a cricket net or ground. Players
must bring their own batting equipment
including pads, gloves and protector.
We strongly advise that all adults
wear an appropriate cricket batting
helmet. Anybody under eighteen will
not be allowed to bat without one.
You are likely to face fast bowling
and should consider other safety
equipment such as thigh pad, chest
and arm guards. We reserve the right
to terminate the trial if we feel
that a batsman’s standard or
equipment puts him or her at risk
from the bowling. We are looking
for Twenty20-style players who are
able to strike the ball well from
the start and, depending on numbers
attending the trials, this may involve
only facing an over or two.
We are open-minded about the bowling but
are looking for those who have real pace
or spin. However we will also be looking
at bowlers who can bowl variety with good
control.
Wicket-keepers should bring their own gloves
and pads.
If you do not have the necessary equipment
you should indicate this on the form.
We will be observing all aspects of your
game including fielding when possible. You
will be informed on the night if you are
being offered additional trials or practice
sessions. Teams will be picked by the manager,
coach and assistant coach. We will give some
verbal feedback at the trial but will not
be able to give out written reports.
