Sign-ups International Cricket - Test League 2017 and Onwards

[Slowcoach]

This league will be an International Test League from the 2017 onwards, featuring the available international Test players active at the time.
The schedule will mostly be as per real life with a few extra series and matches squeezed in if time is available, unfortunately no Ireland or Afghanistan just yet.
There will be some 3 day Tour matches versus A teams and the like featuring fringe players to try out your bench strength as well, but this league will mostly be Tests with no white ball cricket to clog up the schedule.
I will attempt to keep this league running into following seasons if interest remains with newer players becoming available as they made their real life debuts.
Teams will compete for the World Test Championship, with the 1st Final to be held at Lords in 2019, points as per real life.
Matches will be simmed using Owzat Games International Cricket with the help of an Excel helper.
I am going to get to work on listing the squads for each team, but for now I would like managers to sign up by stating which of the available 10 Test nations they would like to manage.
