My post about Stokesy, etc., being mothballed until The Hundred got old fast! Well since most people agree that Darren Stevens deserved an international career of some sort, this seems like a good opportunity to make a token reparation. Kind of like the lifetime achievement award in the Oscars.

So, no Garton, then, in the squad.
So, at least George is back, although no Salt, as Sussex face the
most critical up and coming T20 matches.
If it's not injury, it's the weather, and if not both, it's an
England call-up... not forgetting Covid, of course.
Never easy, is it!?
Alex Hales broke the Eoin Morgan golden rule. No third chances.
He will have to wait until Morgan steps down as Captain.

The 10 day isolation started Sunday 4th. That’s unless he’s selected for the upcoming IT20’s against Pakistan which starts on 16th. |

Didn't England flounce out of a series in South Africa over the winter, making some headmasterly remarks about the Covid protection on offer after a couple of players tested positive? I can't find the relevant quotes just now but if I remember rightly CSA were somewhat chagrined by England's attitude as CSA felt that their Covid protocols were solid (especially after the tests turned out to be false positives). I do remember thinking at the time "Here comes your typical England hubris".

As if anyone fell for the broken finger story. Pretty shocking how he and Jordan have been kept out of the championship squad for a variety of excuses. |

Salt obviously doesn’t want to play 4 day cricket. His broken leg was miraculously mended earlier in the season when the 2nd XI T20 ( 1st XI warm up) matches started. Now he can’t play a CC game because of a broken finger but can play for England, I smell a rat.
It’ll be interesting to see if Chris Jordan plays in the IT20’s next week.
