Border-Gavaskar Trophy | Season Review | Post #293

[Aislabie]

One of cricket's biggest rivalries is back on Australian shores, and your country needs you!

Australia and India will face off over the course of four Tests; do you have what it takes to win the Border-Gavaskar Trophy?

---

Please note:
- There is a maximum of 18 players in each national squad, although I do not anticipate this being an issue.
- I made the banner, but @zaxotes made the team logos and @EARAgAV made the competition logos. Both are far better than I could have done.
- Although based on the real-life series, the fixtures have been tweaked to make my job a bit easier.
- Yes, I've put a player in for myself. You know me well enough to know I'll be fair.​

Are you more of a 'keeper or more of a batsman?

Ill go more of a batsman (Keeper-Batsman I guess) given how selection criteria appears to have changed in international cricket in that regard in recent years .
