Team Selection

A default team will be provided for you in the upper panel. The lower panel will contain the remaining members of the squad. If you wish to remove a player from the team, select the player’s name to display a pop-up menu, select swap and then go to the lower panel and select the replacement player. The two players will then swap places.

On the pop-up menu, you will also be able to nominate a wicket-keeper, a captain, opening bowlers, and adjust the batting order. To perform the latter, select Move and then select on the slot you wish to move the batsman to.

To enable viewing of player types at a glance the following symbols are displayed:

	Bat – Batsman.
	Ball – Bowler.
	Bat & Ball – All Rounder.
	Gloves – Wicket Keeper.
	Bat & Gloves - Part-Time Wicket Keeper.
O	Opener.

Some Players are specialist openers
for twenty over and one day matches. Their symbol will change in the team selection screen for the one day
and twenty over matches if they are specialists in that format. There is also an opener all-rounder player type. An opener who is a specialist for a particular form of the game is treated as a middle order batsman (or all-rounder) in any other format. You can find out if a player is a specialist by looking at their profile page.

This symbol indicates the player is injured and not eligible for selection.

This symbol indicates that the player is on international duty and not eligible for selection. You will be notified in the news box when these players become available again.

Player’s Form

A player’s form is based on his recent performances. A good way to increase a player’s form is to give him some net practice or even a run in the 2nd XI.

Finalising Selection

On the Team Selection screen you can also adjust the statistics display. Use the filter arrows, or just select the button to launch a pop-up menu. To get more information about a player, select his name and select player profile.

Before you finish your team selection it is a good idea to select the conditions button to get an idea of the weather. You may wish to consider picking a team to take advantage of the predicted climatic conditions. When you are satisfied with your team, select the Play Match button on the lower right of the screen to take you to the coin toss.

Note: if you choose Skip Match, the computer will play the match for you. Be aware that your captaincy will be missed and the team is unlikely to perform to their maximum ability.

Load Team

The Load Team function enables you to load your last saved team for each format (if available). When playing across different formats with the same team this will help you save some selection time!
