I've updated Chris Gayle to allrounder status. One of the players that was in the likely squad had wasn't in the final squad and it needed a choice of 4 allrounders.

Hi Pete, the system does require 4 all-rounders but you can put any name in there to make up the numbers if you find that less than 4 all-rounders are playing. In that situation, I generally put in a fringe player batting at 6 or 7 to make up the numbers.

When I entered my team earlier today, I could not select Gayle as a batsman, and only had the option of including him as my sole all-rounder, at the expense of Afridi (or others eg Razzaq, Bravo et al). Hence I was forced to leave Gayle out of my team, to make room for Afridi. However, it seems other players did not have this constraint, as many have selected both Gayle (as a batsman) and Afridi/Razzaq (as the all-rounder) - something I would have preferred to do too. Is there any fix possible now?

Zainub is the only person who has both Gayle and Afridi in her team. This can't be allowed so Pete should PM her and ask her to make a choice which to keep. If Gayle is ommitted then he is replaced by her 1st reserve batsman - Chanderpaul. If Afridi is ommitted then he is replaced by Gayle and Chanderpaul comes into the team.
