Star Player #10 - Khurram Khan ($15,000)

​

Full name: Khurram Khan
DOB: June 21, 1971 (Age 44)
Country: United Arab Emirates
Role: Batting all-rounder
Batting style: Left-hand bat
Bowling style: Slow left-arm orthodox
Playing status: Retired from international cricket less than a month ago.

Short bio

"He's the oldest centurion in ODI cricket. Since the World Cup he has announced his retirement from internationals, but remains an essential acquisition for most teams. He combines classy batting with effective bowling and energetic fielding; who wouldn't want him?" - The Author​

Star Player #11 - Trent Johnston ($15,000)

​

Full name: David Trent Johnston
DOB: April 29, 1974 (Age 41)
Country: Ireland
Role: Bowling all-rounder
Batting style: Right-hand bat
Bowling style: Right-arm fast-medium
Playing status: Called it a day after helping Ireland win the 2013/14 Intercontinental Cup. He has moved into coaching since.

Short bio

"A clever medium pacer and excellent leader, Trent Johnston was one of Ireland's most prolific seam bowlers. While others like Boyd Rankin grabbed the headlines, it was usually Johnston who put in the hard yards. In his final T20 international, he put in perhaps his best performance." - The Author​

Star Player #12 - Brad Hogg ($15,000)

​

Full name: George Bradley Hogg
DOB: February 6, 1971 (Age 44)
Country: Australia
Role: Spin bowler
Batting style: Left-hand bat
Bowling style: Slow left-arm chinaman
Playing status: Has been playing in various T20 leagues around the world since coming out of retirement for the 2011/12 BBL. Isn't likely to quit anytime soon.

Short bio

"He's never been much of a long-format bowler, but his self-belief took him out of the commentary box and into the BBL. Since then, he's played IPL as well, and represented Australia at the World Twenty20. Now into his 45th year, he retains the powers of someone much younger." - The Author​

Star Player #7 - Misbah-ul-Haq ($15,000)

​

Full name: Misbah-ul-Haq Khan Niazi
DOB: May 28, 1974 (Age 41)
Country: Pakistan
Role: Specialist middle-order batsman
Batting style: Right-hand bat
Bowling style: Will not bowl
Playing status: Still captaining the Pakistan Test team and playing all forms of domestic cricket. Retired from ODIs and T20 internationals.

Short bio

"He may be advancing in years, but the Pakistan Test captain has showed no hints of diminishing ability. In the last twelve months he has equalled the fastest ever Test hundred and captained his country to the World Cup quarter-finals. A must-have for anyone." - The Author​

The first player to go under the hammer from Pool B will be Misbah-ul-Haq, with a base price of $15,000. The bidding can start immediately.

And this time, I've made very sure that there are no star players from Pool B available at reserve for the sole team to declare interest in them via PM.​

Also, I reckon this might help.

​

And just to avoid confusion - the teams that have already bought 2 players have their "Need to buy" set at zero, because buying a third player is optional as I've mentioned before. The minimum needed in a squad is 2 and the maximum you can buy is three 3.
