Announcement re: Test Wicket-keepers

[marc71178]

After reviewing the initial list of players available for the Test draft, it has come to our attention that there are not enough Keepers to enable everyone to pick 2!

Therefore Liam and I have had a discussion and decided that if a team only has one keeper and he were to get injured, then the manager will be allowed a replacement from outside the 240-man draft (temporary only).

That will be from a list supplied by Liam and myself.

Any questions, ask them here!

N.B. Please note that this will not stop managers having to ensure that they have 2 ODI Keepers!

What are the minimum matches required for a wicket keeper to be eligible in ODI. For instance could you choose a batsman who has kept in two or three matches or does the 20 match minimum as a wicket keeper come into effect with wicket keepers?

If they've only kept in a few games, they'll be counted as a keeper, but the fielding skill won't be the greatest (and not as good as someone who kept more regularly)

A great example would be Dravid - he'll count as a keeper, but not a very good one.
