As I'm running the fantasy league, best go on record, before tomorrow's deadline, with my squad for 2023:

JD Libby (Wor) - Batter - 2000
JJ Bohannon (Lan) - Batter - 1800
JL du Plooy (Der) - Batter - 1600
NRT Gubbins (Ham) - Batter - 1600
FJ Bean (Yor) - Batter - 1400
BT Foakes (Sur) - Wicketkeeper - 2000
EG Barnard (War) - Batting all-rounder - 3000
KHD Barker (Ham) - Batting all-rounder - 3000
BA Raine (Dur) - Bowling all-rounder - 3000
JK Fuller (Ham) - Bowling all-rounder - 2600
SJ Cook (Ess) - Bowler - 3000
MJ Potts (Dur) - Bowler - 3000
MW Parkinson (Lan) - Bowler - 2400
ZJ Chappell (Der) - Bowler - 2000

I've done much the same I did as last year, and plumped for a smattering of Test players amongst county stalwarts in the knowledge they may end up playing more than 14 games across the season. It sort of worked out last year, but I appreciate it can be something of a gamble.

I'm particularly satisfied with one of said picks who I imagine will take quite a few wickets both for his county and for England... in fact I think he was the only one of England's bowlers from Wellington who played last week and he got 4 wickets.
