Ryan Hackney should be a ROB rather than a SLA according to his profile on WSX cricket
I think Baxter Holt should be average aggression, he had a strike rate of 103 in U19 ODIs & hasn't played many senior pro innings yet.
Matthew Wade should be very aggressive based on his strike rates in the past few seasons
Joe Medew-Ewen bats right handed
Gurinder Sandhu was named in the Queensland side for the Sheffield Shield & One Day Cup games against Tas and SA.
Tim Paine should be in the Hobart Hurricanes squad. He was in it last season but didn't get picked and is still their player in the same way Starc is the Sixers player.
I don't know if the BBL squads have been updated but Fawad Ahmed, James Faulkner and Callum Ferguson were all been released by their BBL teams
Think Ben Stokes shouldn't be one of the 5 main bowlers in limited overs in-game as he isn't for England. If not then should get a big nerf in limited overs bowling. Think he might be underrated with the bat and has had brilliant stats over the past few years (from about 2018-2019, I think has also calmed down in terms of strike rates)
Was wondering if Joe Cooke deserves an upgrade (at least in bowling?) and changed to allrounder as well as changed from very defensive. Had an exceptional RLODC and have to say wasn't expecting it. I think he was batting in the middle order as well during the winning run.
Steven Reingold is missing from Glamorgan & I believe the game in general
Sam Northeast left Hampshire by mutual consent early on in the season and I feel as if he should either be a free agent or with one of the counties he played for this season. Also saw while trying to find out what happened that he will coach cricket & rugby at Eton in the autumn so don't know if he's retiring.
I still feel as if Luke Wells should be an allrounder considering since 2018 he's been bowling the majority of his career overs for Sussex and now Lancashire.
Same with Scott Steel as he has bowled in 24 out of 33 T20s and hasn't played any other format for Leicestershire
Nick Gubbins should be at Hampshire after he signed on loan for most of the season with it also be a permanent deal.
Joe Cracknell is still showing as a full keeper when I start a new career
If he isn't Tim Murtagh should probably be classed as Middlesex's vice captain for when Handscomb is unavailable as he finished the season captain of the FC side.
Ishaan Kaushal is missing from Middlesex. He was awarded a contract at the same time as Greatwood. He would've certainly played in the RLODC but got injured almost immediately that ruled him out of the tournament.
Harry Seagrave (16 year old SLA) was in the squad of 13 for the game against Gloucestershire on the 8th of august but the game got called off due to a covid outbreak. Also in the squad of 13 for the game away to Sussex but didn't play.
Simon Kerrigan last played a T20 in 2013, don't know if that's because he doesn't want to or just isn't picked for it
Ben Slater bats in the middle order in T20s and I believe batted at 5 in the QF vs Hampshire.
Steven Mullaney bats in the middle-order, hasn't opened reguarly in a few years since all the new players came in 2018. Ben Duckett in 2020 & 2021 has been batting at 3.
Would it be possible to have Abell's bowling boosted or made into a 5th bowler for Somerset? At least for first class matches?
Tom Hinley - another Sussex youth graduate
Don Butchart is an allrounder rather than just a batsman
I think Virat Kohli should be in the Delhi CC side domestically as though he hasn't played it in years I feel he would return there rather than go to some team in a low division, such as Dhoni did with Jharkhand.
MS Dhoni & Suresh Raina should be changed to average aggression, both have slowed down big time in their later years. Robin Uthappa should be average aggression too, perhaps even defensive?
Cheteshwar Pujara should be changed to very defensive
KC Cariappa is a leggie not a offspinner
Corey Anderson quit NZ cricket for the USA but isn't shown in-game.
Northern: Mohammad Ismail should be a LMF
Boland: Isma-Eel Gafieldien bowls right arm legspin
EP: Sinethemba Qeshile is a RFM according to crichq
EASTERNS: Wesley Coulentianos is a SLA (his wsx profile also has his birthday as 1995 rather than 1994)
Donovan Ferreira is a (economical) OB and a allrounder rather than a wicketkeeper
BORDER: Jerome Bossr is a SLA
Nonela Yikha is a OB
Bongolwethu Makeleni LM->LB, there's a duplicate of the 2 players in the Border team, If I remember correctly he is a LHB rather than RHB?
Gideon Peters is a RHB RF
NORTHERN CAPE: Rivaldo Moonsamy is a OB
MPUMALANGA: Tumi Koto is a RHB RM
RA Herman is Rubin Hermann (his initals should be: RAH)
F/A: Ruben Trupelmann should be aggressive
Yamkela Oliphant should be a occasional keeper (has kept in a few games)
Neo Felane is a RHB OB
Tiaan van Vuuren should be a LFM
Matt Ford should be Irish but in-game is South African.
Malcolm Nofal has popped back up in South Africa and played for Limpopo the other day.
Lasith Malinga retired after not playing since last March
Upul Tharanga retired in February
Don't think Parvez Hossain Emon should be down as very defensive.
Nathan McGuire was Ireland's leading wickettaker at the U19 qualifier just gone.
This is for the % stats thing, but Ben White on his T20 debut bowled 6 dot balls in the game (Iirc there was a livestream of it) but that stat isn't shown in-game at the moment.
Some players who played in the final few days of the T20 competition are missing such as Morgan Topping, and debutants such as Thomas Mayes, Liam McCarthy, Cian Robertson and Theo Lawson. Trent McKeegan, Robbie Millar, Tom Stanton & Mikey O'Reilly were also called up by their teams but didn't play however.
Also considering the small player pool Ireland relatively have, would it be possible to have their U19 squad (like the one that qualified for the U19 WC next year) added into the game? Especially as there's no league system in the game and most of them are already playing in the emerging or youth interpros.
JP Kotze & Zhivago Groenewald have retired a short while ago. Kotze I knew about but Groenewald's is mentioned in the ICC press release for Namibia's T20 WC squad.
Nicol Lofie-Eaton is a leggie
Some players that are missing:
Ben Ward (Jersey international) is missing and played for Boland & the Cape Cobras last season. Think he should be a free agent if not in the Boland team. Don't know if it's possible to have him as a free agent in various countries (i.e. SA & Eng). Played there last season due to having a South African passport
Oliver Metcalfe played in 2019 & is still knocking about. Playing in the Interpro future series this season so will probably get a few opportunites next season if not an Ireland Wolves tour.
Some players missing initals:
Ruadhan (P) Jones
Seanan (R) Jones
David J(A) O'Halloran
Suliman Safi (K)
Tiaan (M) van Vuuren
Imran Imran should be Imran Mir
Nationalities that should be changed:
Matt Ford SA->IRE
Ruben Trupelmann & David Wiese SA->NAM (both in T20 WC squad as well)
Smit Patel, Harmeet Singh (both IND), Corey Anderson (NZ), Justin Dill & Obus Pienaar (both SA) all retired to qualify and play in/for the USA. Articles about their respective retirements are online as well.
Murray Commins, Graham Hume & Ruhan Pretorius all should be changed to Irish nationality. I think one or 2 of them are either qualified now or soon to be by early 2022.
DOBs that need updating
Haris Rauf is 7/11/93
