Majority of players in First-Class Counties Select XI are teenagers or are in there early twenties. Farhan Ahmed who picked 4 wickets in first innings is just 16 years old and it's a good sign for England test cricket that they have talented players to replace James Anderson. Six West Indies batsmen were not able to make it to double figures which is remarkable achievement from young blowers of First-Class Counties Select XI. At stumps day 2, FCC XI have scored 15 runs without losing any wicket.
Yes ,you are right. England coaches are working on team building. They want best cricketers for the country. I am satisfied from the selectors of England. England team . England team performance is at top and they are performing well and they are champions and that team players will play in the International team also. The players of England team are young and they are picked because they are famous at city level and they have thousands of fans and thats why they are in the cricket team . If they play bad ,they are many players that to waiting for the chance and play in united team.England U19 players are more confident than any other United team because they are selected on the merit.
Is it just me or the under-19 team from almost every country actually play more fearless cricket compared to the national team of every country?
Well, I guess they are teenagers and they are supposed to be fearless. You know, they say that in the eyes of an amateur, there are endless possibilities but in the eye of an expert there are few. But at this teenage, they actually believe that there are endless possibilities and that’s why they are sometimes capable of doing incredible things. When people grow up, a lot of problems arise with the aging of the body. But experience comes in handy at that age.
Anyway, I think England will be in a very good spot if they can actually properly nurture this under-19 team.
