5 DUBLIN GUARDIANS VOICES, ONE COMMON SENTIMENT ECHOED: READY FOR THE ETPL!
There was no shortage of smiles when the Dublin Guardians completed their six selections at the inaugural ETPL Player Draft. For Benjamin Calitz, George Dockrell, Matthew Hollard, Craig Young, Noah Croes and Chris Greaves, being picked by the Irish franchise was more than just another career milestone. It was an opportunity to become part of a team led by the likes of cricketing legends like R Ashwin and Rahul Dravid, while representing one of Europe's most vibrant cricketing cities. As the countdown to the inaugural season begins, the newest Guardians have already made one thing clear, they cannot wait to get started.
This is what Calitz, Dockrell, Hollard, Croes, and Greaves have to say:
