Domestic Series Confirmed for United
After recent speculation, the Director of Cricket at PlanetCricket United, Badvintage, has confirmed that a domestic series will go ahead. As expected, there will be two franchises: The Gladiators, who will play at the PC Arena, and the Flexers who will play at the SportsFlex.
ODI captain VC Andrews was confirmed as Gladiators captain, while the leader in the shortest format, Kristian Lee has been confirmed as Flexers boss. Lee said that he "hopes the series helps me as a leader and a player. And that the Flexers win." He also went on to say that he thought he had a strong nucleus of players in his squad.
The Flexers unveiled their logo.
The two teams will compete for First Class and List A titles in the coming few days. The fixtures are as follows:
Union Shield
20 Jan - 1st FC - Gladiators v Flexers - PC Arena
21 Jan - 2nd FC - Flexers v Gladiators - SportsFlex
22 Jan - 3rd FC - Gladiators v Flexers - PC Arena
Union Cup
23 Jan - 1st List A - Flexers v Gladiators - SportsFlex
24 Jan - 2nd List A - Gladiators v Flexers - PC Arena
25 Jan - 3rd List A - Flexers v Gladiators - SportsFlex
The two franchises also confirmed their small squads for the coming competitions. The Gladiators welcome both Dongre and O'Riordan, arguably PC United's two leading players while the Flexers will call on User2010, Ahmad Shah, and young talent Loco Salihamidzic.
Full Squads:
Flexers - Archit, Kristian Lee
, Anish Peter, Pulikutti, Jack Ryder, Loco Salihamidzic, Ahmad Shah, Shubam, Simranjit Singh, Sulaiman, User2010
Gladiators - VC Andrews, Prathamesh Dongre, Freddie, Andrin Issac, Sami Khan, Michael Ng, Alex O'Riordan, Vedarshi Shastry, Simon, Blitzberg Steel, S. Yokesh

Club Captain
Yokesh Works Hard in Training !!!!
His Exclusive Interview on Star Cricket Was this:::
Q. How much of a role did the gravity of your injury have to do with the decision?
Yoki: To play international cricket you need to be mentally and physically at your 100%. I just didn?t think it would be fair to the team or to myself if I tried to play on when I wasn?t in that space.
Q. What according to you is the reason so many of the fast bowlers today end up injured so often?
Yoki: That is what sport is about; when you put your body on the line every single time you bowl a ball, of course your body is going to take some injuries.
Q. Do you think a change in the fitness regime of bowlers needs to be brought about, or is the present regime being followed good enough?
Yoki: In my opinion, fast bowlers understand the need for fitness more than any other type of cricketer. Players today already have access to great support staff. All they need to do is work with the support team constantly; they need to have a plan in place and work at what is best for them.
Q. Have records or statistics spurred you on to achieve greater things in cricket?
Yoki: No, I have never been inspired by records or statistics. For me it has always been about winning and giving my best ? that is what has spurred me on throughout my career.
Q. How important is aggression for a fast bowler like you?
Yoki: I think aggression, pace, passion and accuracy work hand-in-hand for a fast bowler. It has always been important for me to possess all of the above.
Q. Do you think Gladiators current team has the potential to win the Flexers?
Yoki: Never underestimate the Gladiators team. There is no doubt that they will have to put in a big effort, but there is a lot of talent in the side and there is still another months before the series begins, so there?s enough time to work towards making a well-prepared team.
Q. What has been your greatest achievement in all these years of playing for PC UNITED?
Yoki: I?m really proud of the longevity of my career. Despite a number of injuries that hampered my run in the bargain, I have always fought back and retained my place in the side. I kept going back, playing as though I was never beaten ? that I think is my greatest achievement.
Q. On a personal note, what has been your greatest achievement outside of cricket?
Yoki: My Parents ? They have brought so much joy to my life and I look forward to spending a lot more time with them now that I?ve got so much time to myself.
Q. If you had to give a message of advice to young aspiring bowlers, what would those be?
Yoki: Go out and learn as much as you can about the game; make sure you are physically fit and strong and then go out there and enjoy the game.
Q. What are the three things in your life that are/have been of utmost priority to you?
Yoki: To me, my family has always been of the highest priority, after which comes music and cricket.
