So each persons team will look like this:

Batting order	@ahmedleo414	@Murtaza96	@AsadRM	@Parth D	@ddrap14	@ashutosh	@qpeedore	@mohsin7827
1​	P	C	L	A	S	C	G	U
2​	R	Y	A	V	I	H	E	N
3​	I	B	M	O	G	A	N	A
4​	C	E	E	I	H	O	E	D
5​	K	R	L	R	T	T	R	A
6​	L	P	L	D	E	I	A	P
7​	E	H	A	U	D	C	L	T
8​	B	O	T	P	N	A	I	A
9​	A	B	I	O	E	L	S	B
10​	C	I	O	I	S	L	E	L
11​	K	A	N	S	S	Y	D	E

Remember you don't have to pick in batting order, but your players last name must corrispond with the batting order they are assigned. Meaning, I cannot have a player with last name starting with P batting at number 4, but I can make a pick of player whose last name starts with C as my first pick.

For people with multiple letters in the same lineup, please mention where the player will be batting when making the pick

Good luck to everyone and @AsadRM can start and the 24 hour window will start after he makes his first pick

You sure you want to go with last name and not first name? Making the draft much much much tougher as there is literally no way to search last names on Google

I agree with this.

I was trying to research a little and I couldn't find any website that gives players' last names alphabetically.

ESPN Cricinfo do, it's how I run my RNG draft.

All-round records | Combined Test, ODI and T20I records | Cricinfo Statsguru | ESPNcricinfo.com
The filter may require some tweaking but this should work.

@Parth D

That's still the first name and not the last name

It's easy to find first names, that is why I suggested first names instead of last

No, it filters by first name for Pakistanis (as that's the name they are commonly referred to as) and last for other countries. See screen below

Works for most except Muslim players

 

[ahmedleo414]

Yes, this is done by the last name to make it much more difficult. However, if possible find it too difficult we can change it.

@AsadRM
@Murtaza96
@Parth D
@mohsin7827
@ashutosh
@qpeedore
@ddrap14

Let me know what you guys think. First name or last name

First name for me.

 

[ddrap14]

I would like to suggest we go by what name Cricinfo goes by, i.e. Muslim players are measured by first name.

Examples:
Babar Azam B
AB de Villiers D

Obviously if this isn't good don't use it

First name if possible.

If its last name, I will find it difficult to work the draft ahead due to other work I am occupied in.

 

[AsadRM]

Same here!

Last name would require a lot of research and I personally don't have enough time for it as I am already taking part in 3-4 leagues, plus hectic academic schedule would make it extremely tough for me.

 

[ahmedleo414]

Okay, how about this, it could be either first name or last name.

Users choice.
