100 Years, 250 Games Salary Cap Ashes + Draft
This is perhaps one of the more complex drafts and, as such, is restricted to 8 players – 4 will choose to base their side on England players and the other 4 their side on Australian players.
Basically, contestants nominate to have their side based on England or Australia Test players + players from other Test playing nations. They must include either 5 or 6 players from the nominated Ashes playing nation. The Team is then made up of players from non-Ashes playing Test countries with a limit of 2 selections from any one country.
Now it gets tough. Players must have made their debut after 1918 and played their last test no later than 2018. That’s the 100 Years part.
And tougher still! The 250 games represents a ‘salary cap’ and the total games played by your 11 man team must not exceed 250. To prevent contestants picking a couple of ‘superstars’ and completing the side with lesser-lights, players selected must have played in at least 10 Test matches but no more than 40 Test Matches.
I’m a starter and will take one of the 4 England based teams.
