Is there ever a time to not play cricket?

Well, there's enough cricket to go around with T20, One Day and five day matches to choose from.

And for the younger players, getting exposure is what they are looking for from the Flair Elite Under 23 Nation Wide Cup.

The competition is meant to bridge the gap between junior and senior teams.

Let's hear the views of some of the players on the tournament.

00:45And it will also mean a lot to the team, you know, we've been training really hard and working
