Hey Zaakir

Juventus take on Inter this Saturday in the season's first Derby d'Italia. The rivalry between the teams are more fierce than ever and the outcome could go either way. Have a look and leave a comment if you wish:

Hi Zaakir,
Having been CL of the cricket section for a little while now, I'm looking for new ways to get people talking and build the community, hopefully making cricket one of the more popular sports on Bleacher Report.

With that in mind, I've decided to do a 'Round Table' column, based on Michael Whittenberg's examples in the NBA section. What this basically comprises of is making a collaborative article from many different writers about a particular subject.

The headline I want to use is:

'If you could have any player from another country in your national team, who would it be and why?'.

I want to get a global perspective and hopefully build a really good discussion.

If you want to take part, then please write 50-100 words answering that question and send it to bleacherrportcricket@gmail.com. I'll collate the quickest entrants and publish an article on BR.

Thanks a lot and hope to hear from you soon,

Jon
