    🚨100 on list A debut for @Kash798! He's an example to everyone trying to make it in the game to keep working hard and highlights again that we need to provide support to those outside of "the system". There's talent out there!

    Stunning 172 for Zen Malik on trial for Glamorgan adding to his 134 and 164 earlier in the year. He is now the 2nd highest run scorer in the 2nd XI county championship! Such a talent! live.nvplay.com/ecb/?tab=m_sco…

    He's only gone and done it again... Kashif Ali. Second hundred of the game. Only other Worcestershire player to do it against Warwickshire in a first-class game was Glenn Turner, who did it twice. @SACAUK

    Thanks for the shout out @DGoughie. Summary of how Jafer Chohan came to be signed at Yorkshire from SACA. "I saw him bowl for 10mins...young man we'll be sending you a contract in the next 24 hours" 😂

    Kashif Ali has just registered the first first-class century by a SACA graduate (and the first by anyone in division one this season). He brought it up with a six over long-on. There will, no doubt, be many more sixes and centuries from him. @SACAUK

    Historic week for SACA! For the first time, 2 SACA teams are playing professional county sides simultaneously, with an additional 15 lads on trial at counties. We've beaten Yorkshire 2nd XI in the 50-over game, & the match against Essex 2nd XI is in the balance! SO MUCH TALENT!
