Had a look at some of the overseas "talent" in the squads the other day and to state it has the cream of the game involved is incredibly disingenuous unless this was a masters tournament - Warner, Southee, Du Plessis.
Disappointed that my morals and ill-will for this farce will see me miss out on watching stars such as Ashton Turner and George Linde.
This for me. Looking through the overseas of each team and it's pretty underwhelming, one or two 'stars' but a mix of semi retired and those who are no better than the domestic players who can't get into the international side.

London: Kane Williamson, David Warner, Ashton Turner
Manchester: Noor Ahmed, Heinrich Klaasen, Rachin Ravindra
