#1. New Countries
We will introduce 10 new countries:
Read more ...
- Zimbabwe
- Bangladesh
- Afghanistan
- Canada
- Ireland
- Kenya
- Netherlands
- Scotland
- USA
- PNG

These countries will play only OD & BT20 competitions: BT20 on the global stage, and OD within the country in league and Sunday cup structure. The BCC will pay a subsidy to these countries that will be determined as approximately one third of the lowest gate intake at FC level in participating countries. This subsidy will vary level by level and be set and announced at the start of each season.

Any team can move at end of season to bottom division in a new country to be replaced by bot in current position. All players go with you but lose 30% of supporters and get new ground at default newbie size. No change in BT20. Cost of moving is 4 x week's salary at time of move or 10% of current bank balance, whichever is greater. This will be open to a pilot group in Season 16 before being fully open in Season 17.

These new countries will not be eligible for International cricket in Season 16. In the very near future (likely Season 17), there will be the ability to move to a non-FC version of your current country as well.

More information on how to apply to move to a new country will be supplied by the end of the season.

I'm heading for Bangladesh. Any of you guys planning on shifting?

Nah..going to pull some youths though

 

[WORLD CHAMPIONS]

I would have loved to move USA but i fully disagree the clauses.

 

[Highlander999]

If Scotland had FC I would move there, but as they don't, I won't (plus I've been enjoying my OD league so much this season)

100% the same here, except enjoying OD this season, but the less said about that the better...

 

[aussie1st]

Ah great to see BT is finally expanding the countries. Sorry Australia I won't be pulling for you next season!

 

[aussie1st]

Finally we can differentiate between leg and off spinners. Looks like season 16 could be a real good one.

 

[voldemort]

you only have one spinner.... so i know who is going to be the wrist spinner... Jansze for me...

 

[angryangy]

But what should I do, just leave my team be, there isn't really much I can do? Log in so that it doesn't get blocked and then watch the finances grow?

Like Voldy says, just aim to win. Newer players tend not to use GFI as much as possible; when you're in a league that is half bots, you can easily attack every human opponent for all they're worth. Just make use of depth against the bots, so you have the best possible team when you have a real opponent. A so called "winning culture" is possible in Battrick. When you build up the little things like team morale, form, player experience, etc, you do perform better.

 

[ste_mc_efc]

hmmmm. do I make the better spinner the wristie, or the younger one? dilemma.

 

[Highlander999]

Are you training the younger one? Apparently good wristies < 22 are going to be worth their weight in gold, so Ingham (aged 20) is definetly becoming one

 

[ste_mc_efc]

yep. he's 21. another will be exceptional when I stop.

 

[angryangy]

Independent aggression. Now you can produce your own Jacob Oram!

 

[ZoraxDoom]

Mwuaha, love independent aggression.

Santosh Parol's gonna be a left-arm wrist spinner, and Liddlelow's going to bowl finger-spin.
