Welcome to my first public thread in about 17 years!
Over the last few months, I've been fiddling around trying to create some fairly deep squads 2000s squads. Mostly early to mid-2000s, but some players go beyond that. The kits are mostly an amalgamation already available kits, or created using logos and pieces available on the academy. A handful are my own. I'm afraid I can't list down everyone who uploaded the stuff, but it is much appreciated.
The teams mostly use base versions of players on the academy (mostly from @wasteyouryouth and @Mouseydread, plus some others I can't remember), but some teams needed extensive player creation, so there are many fairly basic-looking players (Such as Alex Tudor, Cameron Cuffy and Sanjay Bangar, along with MANY many other players who were not international regulars). Most teams should have a few different line-ups.
I've also shared my 2002/3 Ashes-specific Australia and England squads. They include the accurate line-ups for each of the five tests, along with a single line-up for the VB Series. This also includes the ACB Chairman's XI, Queensland and Western Australia teams from that tour. I wanted to do some warm-up matches so they had to be done! They also required some fairly extensive player creation.
Annoyingly, I have an England and West Indies team attributed to me that both have a 22 rating. Ignore these. I can only assume they're from Cricket 22 or something.
Of course, this all assumes the academy actually functions whenever anyone tries to download squads... but if you can, I hope they are of some use to you. If nothing else, the kits should be!
Once again, thank you to the creators of the various graphics used. The kits wouldn't have been possible without you.

I may yet upload some CWC 1999 and CWC 2003 squads, but they need something of an overhaul with the players in them right now.
Final note - I won't be taking any requests. This is stuff I do in my spare time purely for my own enjoyment. I figured I might as well share the stuff in case anyone else might get some enjoyment from it.
