First match starts on April 9th between the Mumbai Indians and the Rising Pune Supergiants, so teams must be in by 1930 local time, 1400 GMT, 1500 BST.

given that this is Sussexpob's first FL, it would be nice if everyone could submit their teams in plenty of time

it's always helpful to include the franchise these players are contracted to, 365. Not easy for the organiser to keep abreast of all the changes to IPL franchises, squads, auctions and so on.... so it saves a lot of work for the poor sod who has to collate everything

Dont worry, I got it. But yeah, it did take a while to find all the teams, so if anyone else posts a team then include the sides please!!
