wow got ben stokes
By the way, if any teams are interested in an assistant drafter or assistant coach when/if the league gets started, hit me up in my PMs. Not so active lately thanks to uni commitments, but willing to help out when I can
Would you two like to work together on Cardiff?

Given that it's @Disharies ' first draft, it seems like a decent idea to pair him off with an experienced user

Auction Rules
  • Each team will have a £10,000,000 (ten million) budget to spend on at least 17 players.
  • There is no restriction to how many players you can bid on from each pool.
  • If two or more teams submit the same bid in the blind auction, the player will go to an open auction in the thread between only those bidders.
  • All blind bids will be submitted to a PM conversation that I will set up with you.
    • I will submit my bids to a random PM conversation each round to commit to the transparency of not using my knowledge of people's bids to my advantage.
Squad Rules
  • Each squad must comprise a minimum of 18 players. There is no maximum.
  • Each squad must contain a maximum of 6 international players (not English, Scottish or Irish).
  • Your final submission will be a 13-man matchday squad
    • This is because as a part of being The Best Domestic Cricket Ever Played™, teams will have a starting XI as well as two substitutes they can call upon at any point throughout a given match. Please think about your tactics when naming your matchday squad.
    • Dublin must select at least four Irish players in their matchday squad.
    • No team may select more than four international players in their matchday squad.
PMs will be coming your way shortly. Good luck and have fun!

Kane Williamson
---------------
Birmingham - 1.57 million
Cardiff - £1.5 million
Dublin - £1.5 million
Manchester - 1.21 million
Southampton - 550k
London - 342k

========================================
By far the biggest bidding war of the auction so far, and Birmingham (@mohsin7827 ) claims their likely captain.

Now, I know we had a time limit in place, but on the basis that I was the one who then failed to do things in a timely manner, I'll probably not specify one for this round.
