Cricket-Match-Special ... A forum for discussion

This is a combined fantasy league for the ODIs and the T20s. First up, the ODIs....

The ODIs start on October 31!

Feel free to pick 5 players from the two countries (a mix of the two, or 5 from one country - it's up to you), and two reserve players just incase one of the chosen 5 does not play. The first reserve player picked will come into contention first.

Cheers Mike.

I'll be in once I find out which 2 England test players will supplement the squad

Andy might want to check his team, because none of Duckett, Atkinson and Brook are in the squad and only 2 test players are to be added to that squad along with Pepper who replaces Buttler

Just guessing as heaven knows who actually plays many games...

Curran
Livingstone
Rashid
Hope
Chase

Salt
Topley

I'm none the wiser about the WI squad, but England have added Rehan and Cox to their ODI squad

1. Will Jacks (England)
2. Liam Livingstone (England)
3. Jofra Archer (England)
4. Sherfane Rutherford (West Indies)
5. Gudakesh Motie (West Indies)

1. Michael Pepper (England)
2. Romario Shepherd (West Indies)

Good lord, who arranged this ridiculous schedule?

Any WI squad yet?
