Okay guys, you have between now and March 8 to submit a new team, that will run for the rest of the tournament. If you fail to submit a new team by the time the first ball is bowled in the first match on March 9, your old team will be used....
The teams then will run for the rest of the tournament, including the semis and the final, so there are some things participants might want to bear in mind:
1) Ramnaresh Sarwan is back, though he won't play in the knockout phase, if Guyana get that far. The BPL players, such as Shiv Chanderpaul and Dwayne Smith, will also be back.
2) The ODIs against Australia start in mid-May, so you may want to omit players who are a certainty to play in the ODIs, such as Darren Sammy.
3) This is your chance to ditch non-performers (Kieran Powell?). This is also your chance to ditch injured players (Lendl Simmons?).
4) Because you're picking teams for the rest of the tournament, you may want to strategically pick players from the teams you expect to make it to the semi-finals. Also, if you're tweaking your team, you may want to think tactically - do I need more spinners in my side, for example?
5) Jamaica, Guyana and the CCC are yet to have byes, while Trinidad, Barbados, and the Dotties have all got their byes out of the way....
So please get those teams in!
