I don't get it. Apparently 5 English players got contracts. But I see more than 5 lads on the rosters. :confused:

I think those maybe named in rosters as alternatives to those that won playing contracts. Sort of subs who step in if a contracted player is injured, banned or otherwise unavailable

Also the others maybe on contracts from previous auctions

Who are the others you’ve seen apart from those who won deals?

Modern is on rajistan roster but not mentioned as getting a contract.
 
Currans shows the short termism of the IPL, his 20/20 record aint great like, played well in tests against India

Denly is a great buy

Guessing cos it's nice for one of ours to see a good pay day. I agree and I reckon I won't be watching 1 minute of it all.

I read that stokes paid for a youth Durham team to go on a tour. He had that experience with Durham a few years back. It’s in this months cricketer mag. U16s tour to Dubai

I thought that was a cracking gesture
