Everything Off-Season in Domestic Cricket

Victoria can't produce enough talent for two shield teams.

NSW almost certainly could - ACT and southern Country NSW or even ACT + Country NSW playing out of Manuka Oval.

Victoria could take enough players from other states for two teams though.

I saw that this morning. Makes you wonder how the Vic group is going. Holding on to a player who wants to fly the coop isn't always the best move.

Maxwell expressed interest in switching states during the recent Sri Lanka tour after his dumping from the ODI team and message from the selectors that he needs to develop more consistency as a batsman.

The 27-year-old figured a move to NSW could help address the issues, but the Bushrangers enforced a clause in Maxwell’s contract that would keep him in the south.

All Cricket Australia contracted players have a six-week window from July 1 to nominate which state side they’ll play for, and Maxwell missed his chance to move.

"Glenn is an integral member of the Bushrangers squad," a Cricket Victoria spokesman said.

"We'll be working closely with Glenn this season to help him achieve his targets and ensure he is operating at a level to be consistently in contention for Australian selection."

NSW almost certainly could l.

This. NSW are the only side that can produce the talent.

NSW attract enough talent for two teams, dunno about developing it

it's absolutely pathetic that in 60 years one team - 11 first xi spots - has been added to the shield. An ACT team should have been introduced yonks ago. Instead it looks like if a team ever is added, it'll be a CA/Greg Chappell XI....

the county od comp was maybe the one domestic comp that didn't need an additional comp, and they picked a horrible name too
