Some of the matches are going to be played in the Northern part of England , and this is in Early Spring . Therefore your rant about the Players not having any excuses is nonsense ; especially since our Players have never had the experience of playing in England for long periods .

This is unlike our players who played in England prior to the imposition of the ban on all Overseas Players by England in the mid 1980's . You also have not taken into account that the schedule on Tours , before the advent of the other two versions of the game allowed for many 4 day matches
to be played before and between the Test Matches .

Obviously this allowed Touring Teams to get accustomed to both the Weather and conditions of the pitches . Our Current Players , therefore are at a disadvantage . What you should be concerned about in my opinion , is the fact that the WICB agreed to a schedule where once again our Players are playing Cricket in the Northern part of England in early Spring . Once again we have a typical example of the WICB's Incompetence .

On the last occasion our Players played Cricket in England , the coldness of the weather was brutal , so much so that One day our Players were playing in a Test Match while there was no other Cricket matches in England due to the coldness of the weather . Everything that I have stated above are facts , not fiction .
