great start for him and just you
Adi will be sick.... he always picks Stirling... not this time, though
have Ireland got stuff on over the summer?
I didn't pick him because there were 3 overseas players for Middlesex. Bravo, Hilton Cartwright and Paul Stirling. I thought only two foreigners are allowed in playing 11, so i didn't pick him as there would be rotation between three of them.
Despite being granted Test status, Irish players still aren't classed as overseas. So a county could pick 11 Irishmen if they wanted.
I do wonder if the ECB might change that going forward. Maybe in a year or two, at the same time as they presumably introduce new eligibility rules post-Brexit.
