Be fascinating to see how many actually turn up to see his (potential/likely) international debut in Belfast
Could see a lot more trying to find a way in

A T20 Africa Cup launching highlights the missed opportunity of England opposing a European equivalent.
England have historically been behind the curve again and again on globalising the game, hampering cricket's growth. This feels like yet another example
A 6-team T20 Africa Cup - featuring South Africa and Zimbabwe - is in the works.
As a soft launch, a T20 tri-series between South Africa, Zimbabwe & Namibia is set for August in Namibia.
Plus an update on the proposed Afro-Asia Cup reboot
