Drafting new players

Every two months in Cricket Championship there is a draft of new players.

In the draft all the new young players that are available to join teams are allocated to a team.

Teams get to pick a player from the pool of young players and the lower the ranking of the team the earlier they get to pick a player. Teams with no ranking get the latest picks based on when they were registered.

The draft is processed automatically; you do not have to choose a player from a list of players. Instead you will get the best available player matching your requirements when your pick is resolved.

Picking a player

To indicate which sort of player you would prefer to draft go to the Draft page linked from the left-hand menu for your team. Here you can choose in order or priority whether you would prefer to draft a batsman, a wicket keeper, an all rounder, a bowler or any combination of these types of player. You can also specify whether, if you pick a bowler or all rounder, you would prefer a spinner or a seamer.

Why didn't I get the type of player I picked?

There are only limited numbers of each type of player. When it comes to your pick it is possible that all the players of the type you wanted have already been drafted. In this case you will be allocated the best available player of all the other types.
