Would there be an audience for a more "competitive" type league here on PC?
The Python Simulator has the ability to simulate hundreds of matches in one go, and also has a pretty neat collection of player stats which results in it being the perfect simulator to actually tell which team is better.
I've been using it for more than 2 years now with some of my friends and we've made all sorts of modifications with the code and the database but it might not be the most exciting to just read the number of wins your team got after like 100 matches instead of going match by match.

Just looking for an idea of how many would be interested in such a league, you'd basically have to pick players solely of in game ratings and its not like a normal league where even if you have a weak team there's a chance to cause upsets.

Interested. It's been some time here, since a new league is launched and completed. Looking forward to your league.

Will it only take into account averages, or SR, economy, and other things aswell?
 
Just a suggestion for the guys who are conducting drafts in cricket discussion forum, in order to judge the best team after the draft, you can conduct a poll and tag all participants to vote for the best team, but they have cannot vote for their same team. You can also allow anybody to vote and can tag few good active members to vote, thus we can get opinion of various members and can mention the teams which are first, second & third based on poll results.

Tagging the guys who has conducted the drafts recently.

It isn't a bad idea, and in fact I think people have done it before. I've never given a winner for any of my drafts bar one that had a CrickSim tournament at the end, so it's something to ponder
 
Can anyone confirm if this idea is feasible, and if it has been attempted before?

A cricket league based on a promotion-relegation system, where any team can join at the end of the season, starting in the bottom division and (hopefully) working their way up to the top.

I'll need to figure some things out:
-A player development system
-Rewards system for teams doing well
-Keeping the results realistic across seasons, while still keeping the narrative dynamic and ever-changing
-A strategic aspect to the league to make it more engaging than just a bunch of randomized sims

I've also never run anything like this before, so maybe I should start smaller?
