[RUDI]

i am looking for that type of local spin bowler to pick, but i failed... but you picked him in last round...
i don't know nothing about Pakistan cricket...

Credit goes to Jack Ryder @ThanksRudolph for pointing him out to us as the next Afridi.

He's a bowler. And he very recently came back from a two year ban.

Nope sorry. Want to manage alone for this time!

With a first-class ton to his name, I like him already

Team Multan choose Kane Williamson as a captain for current season...

TRANSFER WINDOW​

So, the drafts are complete. Each team has a squad consisting of 18 players, out whom 11 are locals and 7 overseas. The transfer window is now open, and here are my few cents about each team and their composition. If you guys like, you can make trades before I ask You the line-ups of the pre-season games. However, the transfer window will remain open until the start of the first round. The main tournament.

Islamabad
Two fast bowlers too many. I think the overall composition of the team is impressive, but You do lack a quality local spinner. If I were You, I'd trade one or maybe even two local fast bowlers for two local spinners. Also, I'd want a second wicket keeper in the team in case the other one loses form. Other than that, the team looks good.

Karachi
One of the two teams that are best balanced in this tournament. They have the right amount of fast bowlers, the right amount of spinners, the right amount of wicket keepers, and the right batting composition. Solid openers, solid middle-order batsmen who can carry the innings and score the big one when needed. And match finishers that can play fast and win the game. The best team on paper.

Lahore
And this team, is the second of the two that are the best balanced. They have a great batting order, they have match winners. They have the spinners, the all-rounders and the right amount of wicket keepers. Their only concern might be their darkhorse-esque fast-bowlling line.

Multan
This team has a decent batting at the top, and a very impressive middle-order considering the recent series those players have had. Their lower-order might under-perform as they aren't clearly the most consistent. The local fast bowlers, and spinners are weak. They only have one wicket keeper, and he's a part-timer.

Peshawar
Seven spinners. Seven, goddamned spinners if You include Axar Patel and Kamran Ghulam, who btw, are bowling all-rounders. Having just two fast bowlers isn't enough, even on the UAE pitches. They only have one wicket keeper, and they might want another.

Quetta
This is a fairly decent team, that needs one fast bowler less. And this team has way too many wicket keepers. Might wanna drop a few and get solid middle-order batsmen that You do lack. The fast bowling isn't as good as the others, but the spinning trio might work wonders if used properly.

@Kumbis @Pinch hitter @NaviN GandhI @Yash.

Also, I'd like Karachi and Lahore to announce their captains.

@RUDI/@zwarrior @CerealKiller/@AliB

The rules are simple. As many trades as You want, locals for locals and overseas players for overseas players. Must maintain two keepers at least, and the captain can not be traded. Both, free agent trades and team-to-team trades are available.

 

[CerealKiller]

Shoaib Malik as captain.
@AliB

 

[AliB]

Shoaib Malik as captain.
@AliB

Was about to say the same.

 

[zwarrior]

We will announce soon.

 

[RUDI]

We will announce soon.
