Oval World Fantasy Cricket 2024

I'm organising another fantasy league this season. Points will be based on ALL of the runs, wickets and catches each non-overseas player registers in this summer's Vitality County Championship and England's domestic Test matches vs West Indies and Sri Lanka.

Everything you need to know can be found here: http://www.ovalworld-online.com/fant2024rules.htm

The closing date (Fri 12 April) is in 2 weeks' time - that way you'll get to see how the first round of Champo matches go (weather permitting!) before committing yourself.

There's a fictitious budget of £33,000 in weekly wages to spend on 14 players:
5 batters
1 wicketkeeper
2 batting all-rounders
2 bowling all-rounders, and
4 bowlers.

Any questions, just email me marcushook64@gmail.com
