Buying Players

All
teams will start with £1million for the auction. Except for Leicestershire, Northants and Kent who will all start with £1.5 million. The Unicorns will start with £1.75 million. The auction will last a week and run in the same way to the IPL one with different players available on each day, open from 9am to 9pm. The players will fall into 3 categories.

Star - £500k
High - £300k
Mid - £150k
Low - £75k

These are the base prices for the players and the lowest bid that will be accepted in the auction. Obviously there is no upper limit that any player can go for. Any unsold players will be made available for their base price.

Please confirm all transfers on the transfer confirmation page.

Players can also be released for cash, the prices will be given by Sainty and/or Gregers and our decision is final.

Player Exchanges

Players can also be exchanged between teams, when players move between counties no money is exchange. Please confirm all exchanges on the transfer confirmation page.

Silly question (as I "inherited" my Kochi squad mid-tournament in the IPL and the ages were done for me),

What's the cut-off birth date for a U25 player?

25 counts as under 25 so:

12/2/1986 would be the cut off point

Cheers. Joe Denly makes the cut by 6 weeks then. And Eoin Morgan counts
