Please note, I also intend to run a contest for the Twenty20 match at Southampton on Thursday June 15th. As above, the game will be created as the relevant squads are announced.

Now that we have Sri Lanka's ODI squad, we are awaiting that of England. When this is announced I will create the Twenty20 contest to kickstart the ODI series so keep your eyes peeled!

As a result, the Twenty20 contest is now open. The four new England selections will be added soon, and any squad changes will be notified here. Remember that substitutions once the game is underway will only be made in the case of unforeseen injury or other circumstances, and not the mere non-selection of a fit and eligible player.

You can access the game by clicking here.

Thanks for adding the England squad Collyisamackem.

Seen as the ODI series does not start till two days after the Twenty20 I shall wait for the new players to be added till I create the ODI series.

The new players have been added Vrock, create away!

Thanks for the update Colly, I have created the ODI series and you may register by clicking

on the game page.

Remember you have two games to register for, and I wish you the best of luck in making the right choices for the series.

Players could be added to either game at any point, as squads do change due to injury so be sure to check your squad just before the series starts for any updates to either game in this thread.

Sidenote: All players in their playing roles are identical in both the 'Twenty20' game and the 'ODI' game. This is for continuity in selection reasons and also because I agree with Collyisamackem's positions.

Changes to the game:

Glen Chapple will not take any part in the series.

I have added:

Kabir Ali (Bw) to the squad as Chapple's replacement.
Prasanna Jayawardene. (Wi)
Jehan Mubarak. (Ba)

(The final two were not on the original squad lists)
