What are your credentials?

1 season with Uva Leopards in CL which too remained unfinished

There's another CL whose credential you could've used...

Good Enough!

 

[Akshay.]

There's another CL whose credential you could've used...

Oh yes
Champion of champions in CLT20

If any team needs a manager I'd be more than happy to fill in.

The fact that the runners up in the Irish One Day tournament are denied participation in this really takes away the importance of it

Would notify you if a position opens up!

I didn't want to make this tournament too long by including so many teams. Instead I kept the 8 teams that were announced BEFORE the Irish One-Day Tournament even began. Besides, it's better to keep them for the next CL given the state of the league section.

Careful there with the references. Until lockdown struck, I did box for real..

This is the first of two 'bouts' between the two.

WARM-UP 4

Rajasthan Royals vs Chennai Super Kings at Gaddafi Stadium, Lahore
- Excellent pitch to bat on with slight assistance to spinners.
@The Real Modi

BACKGROUND

Chennai was arguably the best team on-paper in the Indian One-Day Championship before their campaign became plagued and they were eliminated before the final.
Losing two of their mainstays in Shakib Al Hasan and Glenn Maxwell right towards the end did not bode well as Rajasthan knocked them out in the second semi-final.

HEAD-TO-HEAD

- INDIAN ONE-DAY CHAMPIONSHIP
- Rajasthan Royals 2 - 1 Chennai Super Kings

PLAYER CLASHES

- None.

LINEUP RULES

- You can not drop Your captain ()
