Sorry for the noob questions @Aislabie but from what I understand, apart from the 15 players, I am also supposed to pick 3 more players from unpicked lot of other squads.

So I will be picking my eleven from these 18 players right? Can these be the same players across formats? And is picking 5 bowlers in test matches mandatory or can I pick 6 bats and 4 bowlers?

Never even heard of any of them. Please give me some time.

That's the best part of this draft.. you don't have to be realistic as to what contact you give to whom.. you can give the best contract to the worst player (irl) but for the purpose of this game he'll be the best player

As long as you pick a balanced team in terms of batsmen, bowlers and wicket keeper.. you should be fine

Thanks. Is it mandatory to have atleast one player from each contract in the eleven? Sorry if my questions sound stupid.

Yep. You need to have exactly as many players from a particular contract as stated:
| |Batsmen|Batting ARs|Keepers|Genuine ARs|Bowling ARs|Bowlers
:purpo: "A" | 1 per team |:bat: 50 / :bwl: --|:bat: 40 / :bwl: 36|:bat: 40 / :wk:|:bat: 32 / :bwl: 29|:bat: 24 / :bwl: 24|:bat: 9 / :bwl: 18
:goldo: "B" |2 per team |:bat: 45 / :bwl: --|:bat: 36 / :bwl: 38|:bat: 36 / :wk:|:bat: 29 / :bwl: 32|:bat: 22 / :bwl: 28|:bat: 8 / :bwl: 23
:slvo: "C" |3 per team |:bat: 40 / :bwl: --|:bat: 32 / :bwl: 40|:bat: 32 / :wk:|:bat: 26 / :bwl: 35|:bat: 20 / :bwl: 32|:bat: 7 / :bwl: 28
:bro: "D" |4 per team |:bat: 35 / :bwl: --|:bat: 28 / :bwl: 42|:bat: 28 / :wk:|:bat: 23 / :bwl: 38|:bat: 18 / :bwl: 36|:bat: 6 / :bwl: 33
:redo: "E" |5 per team |:bat: 30 / :bwl: --|:bat: 24 / :bwl: 44|:bat: 24 / :wk:|:bat: 20 / :bwl: 41|:bat: 16 / :bwl: 40|:bat: 5 / :bwl: 38

So, that means :purpo:1 + :goldo:2 + :slvo:3 + :bro:4 + :redo:5 = 15 player squad. You're only selecting 15 players in the first part of the squad selection. The other 3 players that'll complete your squad will be asked for later.

One of the most reverend players for my side is Brooke Guest. Simon Kerrigan has an experience of 10+ years, this can't be ignored too. Let's see what this team would do.

I'm absolutely amazed by the uptake for this league; that's 17 of the 18 counties with managers (paging @El Loco for the 18th) and 13 of those 17 with squads. I'm humbled by how quickly this has happened and can't wait for those last bits to be sorted so we can get some matches going.

I reckon everyone is just appreciative of having something to do at the moment pal. It's great work.

Thanks, but I knew that. Apologies if my query was not clear enough.

I was talking about the Playing Eleven.

I have 5 players on E contract in the squad, plus another 2 on E contract if I go with the first option for the remaining 3 players (1 x A and 2 x E). That makes it 7 E players in the squad of 18.

So when I am picking my Playing Eleven for a game, do I have the option to ignore all these 7 players on E contract and pick the remaining 11? Or is it compulsory to have E contract players in the starting eleven?
