We’ve had competitions for cycling, football, wrestling, ice hockey and now we venture into uncharted territories with another sport - cricket, supposedly the second biggest sport in the world (according to the ICC that is), the ultimate battle between bat and ball.
Teams
Mostly based out of the grounds that hosted The Ashes during the 2019 series there will be six franchises representing each “region”. Team names and identities will be up to the users involved.
Grounds
Edgbaston, Birmingham
Headingley, Leeds
Lord’s, London
Old Trafford, Manchester
The Oval, London
Sophia Gardens, Cardiff (officially unlicensed in game but available through downloads)
Players
Player “auction” will be held with each team “bidding” for 12 players, if there are two teams going for the same player RNG will decide who the player ends up with. Teams are permitted up to four overseas (non-English) players.
Game
Will simply be Cricket 19’s tournament mode with each team playing each other + finals.
That’s it for now just as I’m just checking potential interest at the moment.

I mean naturally I'm in. Will Irish players count as overseas?

I’m going with ECB rules on “overseas” players so Irish, Scottish and Welsh players all count as “local” players plus obviously Kolpak players as well.

Re: gprejects T20 League - cancelled
Unfortunately with zero confirmed entries in a nearly a full month makes me think this isn’t viable so unfortunately this is cancelled.
