N Pooran, with just 19 list A appearance's and S Cottrell with only 14 ODI's since 2015, were the two standouts of this tour.

There was the odd upset - Sri Lanka's surprise win over England gave the tournament some purpose in the last two weeks - but no outsider made the final four. This is confirmation that money can buy happiness. India, Australia and England are the three most financially stable boards, and New Zealand have, for some time, been one of the more efficient ...
