2015 ICC Cricket World Cup - India Champions again!

[dajesmac]

Welcome to the Planet Cricket version of the 2015 World Cup (admittedly played a little early), hosted by Australia and New Zealand. In this league, PC users can opt to manage countries throughout the tournament as they strive for eternal glory. The tournament format will not be exactly true to the actual 2015 WC, due to the issue of time.

Rules and Format:

• The World Cup will consist of 16 teams.
• There will be four groups of four teams each.
• After the initial group phase, two teams from each group will progress to the Quarter Finals.
• If not all teams have a manager, they will be automatically controlled.
• Players can manage any team, regardless of who they support or where they are from.
• Default squads will be provided for all teams, but these can be changed by managers.

The Teams Involved:

• Australia - (Managed by Hariom)
• Bangladesh - (Managed by Riyan)
• England - (Managed by Dipak)
• India - (Managed by Cool Buddy)
• New Zealand - (Managed by r1a9j8e3)
• Pakistan - (Managed by yashdude101)
• South Africa - (Managed by Fenil)
• Sri Lanka - (Managed by Ahmad Shah)
• West Indies - (Managed by Akul)
• Zimbabwe - (Managed by Zakistan)
• Afghanistan - (Managed by Matt121)
• Ireland - (Managed by Umair2000)
• Kenya
• Netherlands - (Managed by Varun 978)
• Scotland - (Managed by The Author)
• Canada - (Managed by venkniralac)

For those who want to manage a team, the first person to nominate for a team gets priority. Good luck!

South Africa for me please.

No need to make tables here. You can make one in excel or word and take a screenshot and post it. However if you want to use table here (which is complicated comparatively to do the same in word and excel, use table and /table which "[]" around it and a "|" to separate a column.

 

[Dipak]

I'll take England mate!

 

[Dipak]

PS: How do I make those little green tables?

Just quote this post and you'll know the codes needed.

Heading 1|Heading 2|Heading 3
Bleh|Bleh|Bleh
Something|Something|Something

[sos]

Australia for me

 

[dajesmac]

I shall update the list.

 

[Rohit Doshi]

2015 WC from now

 

[Rohit Doshi]

You could have done a T20 World Cup or something else. I would have joined but there isnt charm in joining for a cup that will actually be played 3 years from now

 

[Dipak]

When do we put up our squads?

 

[dajesmac]

The '2015' is just a number. The squads will be current. The matches will be played in Australian and NZ venues, other than that, it's has nothing to do with the actual 2015 World Cup.

 

[dajesmac]

When do we put up our squads?

I was going to wait for a bit, but you may aswell submit them whenever you want.
