Reality is that I'm only playing cricket in London for only 7 years, and due to work commitments never really settled in the team I play for, only it was the first season and that was a good one. And now I have to take everything in consideration and accept opportunities that come along and enjoy.
I'll stick to the club I play Saturday matches, wouldn't be more than 10 per season, but that's better than nothing.
One club has promised me that they I'll get next week onwards and the club, most likely I'll stick for Sundays, 10 games would do, I think.
I'm still waiting for the team sheet for one club, that would be likely to be only for this long weekend, or if they've regular space on Sundays.
Hopefully I've simplified my situation.

Quick update, I'll be playing Saturday and Sunday friendly games at new club, where most likely I'll play Sundays, if no other option.

Playing both days north of 50 is an impressive feat. No problem when I was younger man but I’d need a zimmer frame & prescription drugs to do it these days.

Hahaha Chris, I'm in middle of the 50! And I'm waiting to hear from the same club for coming Monday, might be too far stretched to get that game as well.
I'm a thin frame, I've been doing some stretches etc, walk a lot, trying to feel good, which is hard work,on it's own.
My issue is my throwing arm, never qeen good at all!

make sure you let them know you have played in a league game this season for your old club, just incase there are league rules about changing clubs once the season has started

True, but I've only played in a rained off league game and coming weekend games friendlies only matches.
Thanks again for the reminder.

Following your words of wisdom, I'll be playing another 2 friedlies coming weekend.
2 different clubs.
Saturday One, 20 minutes walking distance, where I've been playing since 2014.
while one for Sunday fixtures, a short travel by train, but all doable.
but plan to stick with them for long term.

Just a question- how common is playing for 2 clubs?

My son has played for 2 football teams sat/sun for years with no issues. He wanted more cricket over the summer- training and matches- but it just didn't seem to be the done thing. I didn't push it, and it might be because junior games seem to be scheduled for whenever is convenient between the 2 clubs. Again, contrasting with football where days are fixed to play (which avoids the difficult situation of being picked for both teams at the same time). As it turns out he is playing for 2 age groups and getting plenty of games, so it's just out of interest now.
