I don’t know if this one’s already been done before, but I certainly couldn’t find it under any of the draft tagged threads. In this draft we shall attempt to build the strongest team possible from a player pool consisting of players who have appeared in only 1 Test match for their country - in other words One-Test Wonders.
As of April 2020, there have been 451 such players over the course of 143 years of Test cricket which ought to be more than enough to fill up 6 teams at the very least assuming there are that many signups. Okay, for the sake of excluding players that have only recently made their Test debuts sometime during the past couple of years and are actually likely to win another Test cap, a minimum of 4 years must have passed since their debuts (unless they’re already retired like a certain Irishman we know) in order for them to be deemed eligible for this draft.
I’ll take a team of my own this time. Who’s with me?
