Please note that the player lists are not 100% all players that are allegeable. Should you click on the hyperlinks you'll find more players. Any player that played a minimum of 30 x International Matches during the period 1 Jan 2010 to 31 Dec 2020 are allegeable. There are some gems hidden in there for whoever is willing to look.

As a first order of business, each team gets to substitute a (One) Marquee player (Excluding your Captain) between now and the drafts. Released Marquee will be available again for drafts.

Please take into consideration that the league will be played in UAE. Three stadiums - 1 x Balanced (Suit all players) / 1 x Green pitch (Seamer friendly) and 1 x Dusty (Spinner friendly)

I will not torture your ears with Smashmouth.

Instead, I will implore you to swap Hashim Amla for Steven Smith.

Just bare in mind ratings will be done on stats between 2010 - 2020 and not current averages etc.

Some help for you all. Please note that associate players will be rated slightly higher than what their averages might suggest, mainly because of them mainly playing against associate countries and not stronger teams.

In that case, I'll have Ross Taylor for Amla.
