Will be first picked for me next season. Should be a spot for him with Wes leaving and basement price.
Thought you would be pleased , hopefully gets a crack at it.

Be interesting what they do if Rashid comes back , Boyce & Pope were very good together at the back end of last season.

Play all 3 of them together 🤗

Agar only played 4 games last season so just have to wait and see what their mix will be.

Certainly will make it easier to start M Short if Buckingham is in the XI for the first game.

article on cricket.com.au dated 27th May says the Draft is now open

few things caught my eye

* clubs will be able to draft up to four players (previously a maximum of three), thereby selecting in all four rounds of the draft.

One of the four would be considered an overseas replacement player if one of their three primary international players is unavailable for a period of the tournament.

Clubs will still be required to make at least two picks during the draft.

* Announced last month, each club will be permitted to sign one overseas player to a maximum three-year deal in both the men's and women's competitions, allowing them to skip the draft and negotiate directly with the team of their choice.

From BBL|15 onwards, pre-signed players are required to be available for the entire season including finals

* Teams can sign up to seven overseas players each season but only three are permitted on their primary list at a time (remains the same)

Haven't checked the FTP to see what international series will clash but hopefully with a T20 World Cup be might actually get some top notch overseas premiums with all selections.

Realize we won't get the the Indian players, hard to get the contracted New Zealand and South African players and Pakistan have tightened up their NOC conditions for their contracted players (PSL + 2 overseas domestic T20 Leagues only) but surely everyone else is not playing SA20 & ILT20.

Start by getting some of the Windies T20 premiums back out here.

Super Eights, finals to follow if Australia qualify
Important to note that the eight positions are actually fixed, if the top teams qualify as expected. If they don't any team that usurps one of those eight just take that other team's place.

The "base" groups are as follows:
Group 1: India, Australia, New Zealand, Sri Lanka
Group 2: Pakistan, England, West Indies, South Africa
