I've decided to start my first CC17 career with Division 2 strugglers Leicestershire, while also starting as the England captain as I love the international cricket on the game.
Leicestershire have some reasonable players, with Mark Pettini, Mark Cosgrove, Colin Ackermann and Neil Dexter expected to be our most important batsmen and Clinton McKay, Ben Raine and Dieter Klein looking like they'll be our best seam bowlers. In the absence of a decent spinner, I opted to sign Monty Panesar in the transfer window, as well as bringing in Andre Russell as our reserve overseas. Russell promptly injured his back and is out for the season before a ball has been bowled
In the 2017 season, I'm really just looking to win as many games and be as competitive as possible with Leicestershire, and win the Champions Trophy, series against South Africa and the West Indies with England, allowing us to fully prepare for an Ashes winter!
