CAMBERWELL MAGPIES

In: Arjun Nair (Footscray)

Out:

Strategy: “Most importantly we’re looking for First XI cricketers because we’re comfortable with where we’re at with development opportunities for young players at our club,” Magpies coach David Alleyne said.

“We think we’ve got some really good young talent … but those (potential recruits) would really be the icing on the cake.”

Strategy: “That’s for the now, but these (young) players we’ve brought in are also future-proofing us for three, four, five years’ time when your Ejaaz Alavis, Liam Banthorpes and Jack Rudds are not playing,” Lions coach Matt Bremner said.

“They’re not only potentially First XI players for this year but we’re hoping long future First XI players as well.

“We’re really excited with what our future looks like.”

“Specifically how we take 10 or potentially 20 wickets, it becomes a critical piece of winning at the back end.

“They’re quality, not only in a cricket sense, but as people, which we think is a critical component to where we are at the club.

“Sometimes the right people are better than the best people.”
