Draft: The Future-Gen Stars

[Master Bates]

So doesn't that make him too old to count as a silver player?

Oh crap!

Changed my pick to Rishabh Pant!

 

[Aislabie]

Oh crap!

Changed my pick to Rishabh Pant!

But you made an eligible pick (Conway) and others have since made selection(s) on that basis. To then go back and change that pick to someone else... it's not really how drafts work

(Yes most of my salt is because Pant was the next player on my list)

 

[Master Bates]

an eligible pick

It was not an eligible pick as he is uncapped and the age limit for uncapped players is under 25.

My fault as I was not clear enough with my rules.
Made a slight alteration to make it more clear for everyone.

 

[CerealKiller]

My first pick is Kuldeep Yadav, India’s left-arm chinaman bowler, aged 25. He has 104 ODI wickets at 26, and 24 Test wickets at 24 runs apiece.
My second pick is his teammate Shreyas Iyer, who has 8 fifties and 1 hundred in just 16 ODI innings, averaging almost 50.

Prithvi Shaw is my next pick.

@Aislabie you are next

Since someone snatched Rishabh Pant right out of my clutches, it's time to select another dynamic Indian to dominate my middle-order engine room: 22-year-old Sarfaraz Khan has absolutely obliterated the Ranji Trophy this year and as of his dismissal in the most recent match boasts a stratospheric first-class batting average of 69.38. Although his career is still young, it seems entirely possible that the only way is up for the young Indian, who is also the first of my three uncapped players.

Yashasvi Jaiswal
The Indian Under-19 captain and left-handed opener is my fifth pick. The 6ft tell player from Uttar Pradesh has already made a big impression in his small career so far. Jaiswal first came to the limelight in 2015 when he scored 319* and took 13/99 in a Giles Shield match, an all-round record in school cricket. He was then selected in Mumbai under-16 squad followed by India under-19s .Jaiswal was the highest run-scorer (318 runs) and player of the tournament at the 2018 U-19 Asia Cul which India won. In 2019, he struck 173 off 220 balls in a Youth Test match against South Africa under-19s.

Later that year, he scored 294 runs in 7 matches, including four half-centuries, in the under-19 tri-series in England which also featured Bangladesh. Jaiswal also recently smashed a brilliant hundred in his country's thumping 10-wicket win over Pakistan under-19s, in the recently concluded under-19 World Cup. He was the leading run scorer for his side and led from the front, as a great captain does. He is a left-arm spinner too and can get in the Indian national team very soon.

Asad's XI:
1. Yashasvi Jaiswal
2. Prithvi Shaw
3. Babar Azam
8. Jofra Archer
10. Shaheen Afridi

@CerealKiller

 

[Master Bates]

@Aislabie you have two picks.

 

[Aislabie]

Okay so one really easy pick is Ollie Pope. Although he tends to play as more of a specialist batsman, I'm going to have him in my side as a maybe-keeper. If I pick another keeper then he'll move to four and be a batsman; if not, he'll stay at six.

The other pick is Wiaan Mulder - an excellent seam-bowling all-rounder who can lash hundreds or run through teams with the ball, he fully deserves his place in my team and will be great for balance.

Abdullah Shafique

This has to be the strangest pick in the draft so far. Have you watched him play or do you know anything about him? Because he has played only 1 first class match though he scored a hundred in his only innings so far.

 

[CerealKiller]

My two picks are Shadab Khan, who has already established himself as Pakistan’s first-choice spinner in LOIs, and Shai Hope, the most talented batsman to play for theWest Indies in a long time, who averages above 50 in 72 ODIs.

I know it is a very strange pick but I have watched him a lot and I can assure you that he will be a superstar. His technique is near to being flawless and his work ethic is absolutely wonderful. He is just like a 2015 version of Babar Azam, even though he hasn't played that many games as Babar had ,but his talent is at the same level. I have high hopes from him and I am very sure that he will fulfill them.

 

[AsadRM]

Shadab Khan.

So here goes my next pick
