Appreciate you guys regularly looking at the this thread to tweak players as well as being proactive in who you end up deciding to change!
Patrick Brown of Worcestershire is perhaps a bit overrated, as he gets selected for England in Test matches quite soon by the AI and does very well. Irl he is definitely a talent, but not been selected for England Lions even yet, let alone being considered for England. He's also currently only getting selected for limited over formats irl. The likes of James Porter, Lewis Gregory, Olly Stone, Saqib Mahmood, etc are guys that could more realistically get picked for England in the near future (all either represented England Lions or actually already played for England as is the case for Olly Stone).
Australia:
D'arcy Short is a T20I regular for Australia irl but doesn't really get picked in-game by the AI for this format. He's also on the fringes of the ODI side but that isn't reflected in-game>
Marcus Stoinis is another one who frequently gets selected for the limited over formats irl but in-game is almost never picked.
Tim Paine is the current Australian captain irl but almost never gets selected for the test side by the AI.
Marcus Harris doesn't get selected at all in-game tests but is the current test opener irl.
Kurtis Patterson doesn't get selected at all in-game in tests but recently scores a century for Australia so should be better/selected more in-game.
Shaun Marsh gets selected occasionally by the AI in tests but irl he will probably never be selected again due to several failures, old age and youngsters like Kurtis Patterson and some others performing in his place.
India:
Umesh Yadav probably deserves to be closer to test selection than he currently is in-game. Gets selected every now and then irl but isn't ever selected in-game.
Mohammad Shami is a test regular but in-game is never selected in tests. People like Jaydev Unadkat, Shardul Thakur and Deendyal Upadhyay are getting selected ahead of him.
Yuvendra Chahal is a very consistent performer for India in limited over formats irl, and gets selected whenever Ravindra Jadeja/Kuldeep Yadav doesn't. In-game he almost never gets selected and players like Abrar Kaziz and Washington Sundar get picked ahead of him.
Vijay Shankar also almost never gets picked for India in-game, and on the one game he did get picked in one of my saves, he didn't bowl (which he tends to do when picked irl). Irl he is seen as a talented all-rounder and is on the fringes of the limited over sides.
Kedar Jadhav seems to be underrated in-game. He performs very poorly when selected by the AI whereas irl he is a very consistent performer (averages in the 40s) when selected. Another one on the fringes who gets selected fairly frequently. He also doesn't bowl at all in-game, but irl he's almost become an all-rounder, having bowled in 21 out of the last 27 games he's played (in the games he didn't bowl, either India were bowled out very cheaply or the opposition were).
Dinesh Karthik should be closer to limited over selection in-game, considering he played a couple of the WC warm-up matches and played 12 ODIs and 19 T20Is in 2018-19 irl. Currently doesn't get selected at all in-game.
Ambati Rayudu should also be much closer to limited over selection in-game. He averages 47 in ODIs irl and was incredibly unlucky to be not be selected ahead of Vijay Shankar. He will certainly be close to selection after the WC irl. Currently never gets picked in-game.
Khaleel Ahmed is a very talented youngster 17 games between ODIs and T20s in 2018-19. In-game he never gets selected (so far in the couple of seasons I've played in my saves) in-game.
New Zealand:
BJ Watling is an irl test regular but never gets selected in-game for this format. This may be due to the AI seeing Tom Latham as a full-time keeper so not seeing the need to pick another player who is picked as a keeper?
Blair Tickner should be closer to New Zealand selection in at least T20Is. He played a game recently for them and performed decently and rattled some batsmen.
South Africa:
Rassie Van Der Dussen has started internation cricket with a bang and has become a regular in ODIs and T20Is, averaging 70 in ODIs and in the 30s in T20Is. In-game gets selected infrequently in tests, but never in limited over formats.
Dean Elgar is the first choice test opener irl but almost never gets selected in-game.
West Indies:
Alzari Joseph is a very talented fast bowler that's been selected in tests and ODIs quite a few times and performed very decently. In-game he never gets selected.
Oshane Thomas never gets selected in-game. Irl he is a talented player who just recently destroyed the Pakistan line-up in the WC game. He isn't a shoo-in for selected in every limited overs game, but is certainly competing with a few other seamers for regular selection.
Bangladesh:
Khaled Ahmed should be classed as an RMF as opposed to RM. He bowled 85mph+ in the tests he played recently. He is also never selected in-game and should be closer to selection than he currently is in-game.
Edabat Hossain is another who played a couple of tests recently and never gets selected in-game.
Rubel Hossain is always near ODI selection irl having played 97 ODIs so far, but in-game is never selected.
Mahmadullah is very underrated in-game. Irl he a regular for Bangladesh and is consider one of the big four batsmen of Bangladesh (Mushfiqur, Tamin and Shakib being the other 3). In-game he gets dropped from the limited over formats fairly quickly and doesn't even get selected in tests. He should be a regular in every format.
Ireland:
Tim Murtagh in-game very rarely gets selected. Irl he is perhaps Ireland's best bowler and a regular in ODIs and Tests.
Afghanistan:
Rahmat Shah is fairly underrated. He is one of Afghan's to best performers with the bat and should be a regular in Tests and ODIs. In-game he isn't picked often enough at all (picked in less than 50% of games).
Mohammad Nabi doesn't bowl enough at all in tests in-game. Irl he is one of Afghan's main bowlers. He also gets dropped a few times in tests, when irl he will never get dropped in any formats.
Patrick Brown of Worcestershire is perhaps a bit overrated, as he gets selected for England in Test matches quite soon by the AI and does very well.
