They shouldn't be.....no school cricket to mess with things! Clubs should have full lists to pick from apart from the touring Redbacks squad. 50 over match in seniors should also mean no restrictions for 2nd XI players also.

Seniors play a one dayer then a two dayer in Rounds 1 and 2.
Juniors play a two dayer then a one dayer
There is no possible reason for this.
It sucks at a grade level, not to mention not having access to the 1st XI kids as mentioned above.

Can't speak for every club but think you will find clubs 'paying' players are in the minority. Overseas players would have a few expenses covered and that is about it.

Nowadays it's almost every kid and then there are some that decide to put Community Club before Premier Club to bask in short term glory....

Sorry but if a kid is playing 16 whites he's hardly going to be the next superstar, unless he's 13.

From his book he mostly played Whites in his final year of 16's. Granted he his the most successful Whites graduate as 3 years later he was playing First Class Cricket.
I'm sure there are other stories at other clubs with players going from Whites to play First or Second Grade.

Peter George is the most famous Eagle to come from the Under 16 Whites. Tall fast bowlers develop later than most cricketers. Having said that, reckon 16 Whites is on its last legs, and D Grade won't be far behind it.
