see only Bairstow is listed to play in the IPL + Brooks who would have been on the tour - Otherwise no other tour player is in the IPL
Its time for some new blood.
Absolutely thrilled. Just one cap and I'm a happy man.

Just back from Gibraltar after having the huge honour of leading and skippering MCC on tour there.
A quite amazing tour, not a crossed word or any form of clique within a touring party of 19.
Played 4 W2 L2.
T40- MCC won by 40 runs
T20 #1 MCC won by 7 wickets
T20 #2 MCC lost by 4 wickets
Test Match (declaration game) MCC Lost by 4 wickets
Some sensational youngsters over there including Louie Bruce, a fine bat who is applying for membership and was a thorn in our side in every match.
We also, with the gift of Adam Collins, better known as a cricket commentator and podcaster, and Rex Purnell, a former Gib Cricket player, raised a couple of grand for the juniors with a gala evening that we arranged.
The venue was absolutely magnificent, although Sunday had a gale blowing across us which actually caused us to dispense with bails!
Performance highlights included an excellent 88 from the legend Jonathan Wileman, a 4 fer by Steve Atherton, a brilliant ton in the first T20 by Ed Beard, and a consistent couple of fifties by James Doherty and a smashed 50 by the skip on Sunday.
We have unearthed a high quality left arm quick in Jonty Walliker who is playing for Devon in MCCA currently.
A highly successful tour that left both a financial and cricket legacy.
Some pics attached for all.

Amazing surface. Pitch is a standard astro laid into outfield.

First training session of the season this evening and first injury sustained, lol (a bruise and blood blister on my index finger).
