-letters. So you couldnt have Andy Flower and Wasim Akram.
I'm not sure if this idea has been done but it should be fun. Itl be a tricky draft, no doubt. We'll go with the cricinfo profile header/presentation of their name, much like the name draft that was done last year. So Jack Russell and Hansie Cronje will be going by those names, not their real first names.
Also, someone like AB De Villiers will be A for his first name and D for his second. I'm sure there are some more odd examples but common sense should hopefully prevail.
22 out of 26 letters at most will be needed to be used. This means that your last player picked will have only 6 letters to form the first letters of his first and last name. However, there is a neat little cheat option to give yourself more letter options for later in the draft or get out of a tight jam at the end... Alliteration names.
Gary Gilmour would only take up the one letter, G in your XI meaning you'd only need to use 21 letters max, giving a bit of breathing room. No limit on how many of these players you pick. I'm sure there will be a bit of a premium put on alliteration names so itl add a cool extra element to the draft.
Itl be a test draft to allow for maximum options. And no requirement that they actually played a test, so you could draft Clive Rice or whoever to allow for maximum flexibility.
No Bradman, 12 hour picks, looking for 10-12 players
