Starting off, we have the 2014 draw with ahmedleo414 and VC the slogger. The outcomes for both are - 'Cricket at the 17th Asian Games' and 'Haier Cup Pakistan I'.
All participants from both leagues are put into two separate lists (in order of final rankings), and the outcome for each respective list is 'Hong Kong' and 'Karachi Dolphins'.

Therefore, @ahmedleo414 will be managing Hong Kong from Cricket at the Asian Games and @VC the slogger will be managing Karachi Dolphins from Haier Cup Pakistan I.

Spoiler: ahmedleo414

HONG KONG - Cricket at the 17th Asian Games in Incheon

SEED - 2014-S1

The thread of the league was lost to the Quantum Realm (repurposed as a Sandbox), so I took the medal tally from the official wikipedia page and got Hong Kong.
The squad, originally posted by VC the slogger, was one of the few original posts reserved from the league's thread that I still have access to (luckily).

2016 - the year of 12 leagues, most I've run in a single year. Naman7 and Manish. have drawn and Amjad Sabri Memorial One-Day game and Royal London One-Day Cup.
Jeez, Naman7 came looking for a pot of gold and struck down a sewer. He has drawn (Pakistani) Showbiz Stars XI whereas Manish. has drawn Leeds Vikings.

@Naman7 is going to manage Showbiz Stars XI from Amjad Sabri Memorial One-Day Game and @Manish. is going to manage Leeds Vikings from Royal London One-Day Cup.

Halfway mark, we're at 2017 now. Till Valhalla and Khan Sahab54 have lucked-out with 2007 Champions League Twenty20 and 2005 Champions League Twenty20.
Makes sense since I ran four CLT20s that year. Till Valhalla has drawn Highveld Lions and Khan Sahab54 has drawn Faisalabad Wolves - two T20 teams in a List-A knockout.

@Till Valhalla gets Highveld Lions from 2007 Champions League Twenty20 and @Khan Sahab54 will manage Faisalabad Wolves from 2005 Champions League Twenty20.

Spoiler: Till Valhalla

HIGHVELD LIONS - 2007 Champions League Twenty20

Middle of the road squad if I'm being honest, especially compared to Tottenham, Karachi, Leeds and Punjab. And it's off-format too.
