From The Pavilion

Thanks for the confirmation

Routine start yesterday lads - good start

We seem to be struggling for decent keepers in this age group

Funny you should say that. At every age group Canada have several wonderful WK prospects. I think the Keeper-Batsman training programme is just too efficient, particularly when combined with a gifted talent (particularly keeping)

Good afternoon all,

I thought I would say hello after being made the new England U20 manager. Thankfully I have assistants o1yted & Kaidus here to help me.

I will be posting various updates in this thread as I go along, please feel free to ask any questions ,especially if you want advise or updates on any England youths you have or think are in with a change however old.

Cheers
