Update:

Pakistan A has gone to Auckland Ace.I'm talking about West Indies A to WestIndian , maybe he will take it.
And Rahulkhush and Harshshah aren't active so if they don't post squads till 6th of March, I will give England A to harrisb and New Zealand A to Chewie.

Squads of West Indies, Sri Lanka , England and New Zealand are remaining.
I will start the matches from 8-9 march cause my exams will be over. Then this league will be updated on a regular basis.

Another Update : The official font for posting match details will be Book Antigua

As I don't have much vcash , this league winner's will get 20,000 vcash , from the First Class competition this award will be raised.

I will use PCCS for T20 matches.

Nice to see it.

 

[Varun]

One more update : The most active member on this thread (except me) will get special reps from me.

But please don't be forced to post here.

 

[Chewie]
