No, an Australian doesn't include state local.

 

[Varun]

But I can draft him?

Burns and Paine should be swapped on the draft form to make it right as Burns=Australian and Paine=Local State Australian

Sam Robson

Oh sorry, you can draft an Australian as a state local but it can't be done the other way round.

Burns and Paine should be swapped on the draft form to make it right as Burns=Australian and Paine=Local State Australian

Yeah, done. Btw, you guys are yet to announce the coach, please announce it ASAP.

Now that the drafts are over, we'll shortly have the trading window open, in which you can draft players like Pujara & Trott as free agents.

I'll post the timings once I update the index.
