Q: Our son played under 14 representative cricket last season and did trial for a club’s green shield team for this season. Unfortunately, he missed out but a number of his team mates made the squad.
A few parents of the kids have been persistent with wanting our son to play green shield with them and it’s upsetting him as the coaches of the club have said the squads have been selected.
What should we do to help him?
A: Hi Tim,

GS isn’t the ‘be all and end all’. A majority of GS players don’t even go on to play premier cricket. And, historically there are many players that have played 1st grade and first class cricket that didn’t play GS. Training well, scoring runs and or taking wickets and enjoying time with your teammates is all that matters. Hope he goes well.
