Is there a limit to the amount of years a player can play before he retires? Otherwise if a team like Denmark manages to get 11 Ruby players and never retires them they'll just dominate forever.

It's a no from me.This is actually a very valid point. We need to bring in a age system.
If I'm right, So far NMA has laid out plans for 1999-2003. So I don't think this issue will arise for now. It'll probably be dealt with when NMA extends the timeframeIs there a limit to the amount of years a player can play before he retires?

@Na Maloom Afraad for youIs there a limit to the amount of years a player can play before he retires? Otherwise if a team like Denmark manages to get 11 Ruby players and never retires them they'll just dominate forever.
I again say my answer would be no.@Na Maloom Afraad for you
Player retirements were originally meant as a tool for countries without domestic cricket to get replacement players, should they really need them. That does not mean that making them a bigger part of the league by introducing a player age system isn't going to work, but like A.P Haux said above, I did not think it'd be necessary for at least the first four seasons (1999-2003).Is there a limit to the amount of years a player can play before he retires?

To be fair I don't mind one team dominating for a phase. That brings the authenticity because there are always one or two heavyweight and couple of dark horses in a sport at any given point of time. Other always play catch up. It's only after couple of decades when another superpower emerges and tips the existing one.Player retirements were originally meant as a tool for countries without domestic cricket to get replacement players, should they really need them.

I did talk about it with Neptune and my biggest issue with having a system for player ages is that it would be completely arbitrary. Which is kind of serviceable if we're starting out, but not when we already have players established in the game. Assigning ages to current cricketers is going to be far too arbitrary and that's why I've sort've just pushed the issue aside until I (or someone else) come up with a system that works well enough where managers and teams don't feel cheated.
As for a particular team (like Denmark) managing to get 11 ruby-tier players, I think it would mean they'd dominate for a while, but probably only until the next team manages to get their 11 players to ruby-tier. Which I don't think would happen until at least the 2003 CWC. After which, we'll look into a system for player ages.
Na Maloom Afraad said:More to do with WCC events than rankings, but to make sense of it in storyline as to why a team that's ranked high and not competing, and saving me from having to write articles declaring bankruptcies on nations with hosting rights for the World Cup, I'll simply swap the rankings for teams that fail to submit their squad and teams that get asked to compete despite being outside of the top-12/top-16.
An insider reported a deadly case of explosive diarrhea as the reason for England denying to travel to the venue on match day - but it was not officially confirmed by anyone in the English camp.
That actually makes sense 'cause it's closer to reality.You could just repeat this one for all of them too
