Too early? Possibly but at a loose-end and housebound for a few days.
No sooner will members be voting on the re-financing deal than eyes turn to team selection for the 1st Championship game in early April (actually v Leicestershire) followed a couple of months later by the start of England's defence of its T20 World Cup title in the Caribbean. England are in Group B together with Scotland and whom they'll meet in their opening game.
Now we'll all remember from school learning about bananas, where they grew, or failing that, from Harry Belafonte's Calypso 'Banana Boat Song', that they come from most Caribbean islands including Barbados and that's where England plays Scotland. Based upon England's recent poor return in ODI's and T20's and some of the pitches (and the opposition) it could be a bit of a banana skin though. The top 2 teams in each of 4 groups go on to the 'Super Eights. Then Semi-finals in Guyana and Trinidad. Final in Barbados on 29th June.
Group A: Ireland, India, Pakistan, Canada and USA
Group B: England, Scotland, Australia, Namibia and Oman
Group C: New Zealand, West Indies, Afghanistan, Uganda and Papua New Guinea
Group D: South Africa, Sri Lanka, Bangladesh, The Netherlands and Nepal.
It's not too early to select your Super Eights, finalists and winner.
One point for each super Eight, three points for each of 4 semi-finalists, 5 points for each of 2 finalists, 10 points winning team.
Selections can be updated/edited right until the first game commences
