Hope this helps, there are probably going to be more lists of debutants in the coming days with more teams playing.

Yes, we'll be picking up all debutants for the next update.

Tanmay Mishra played ODIs for Kenya for a number of years.

That's understood. But he's in the Indian player list for selection. Probably considered as an Indian and not overseas player for IPL selection. Very odd.

[Hampshire]

Pace bowler John Turner in Hampshire's squad for the RLODC squad tomorrow and has been regularly featuring for the 2s.

Will be picked up as a debutant for next DB.

Some problem with player records. Tanmay Mishra has not played any ODI's

Tanmay Mishra played ODIs for Kenya for a number of years.

[Wilted]

Not sure how relevant this is but Indian players being available for T20 tournaments around the world is unrealistic as the BCCI doesn't allow them to play in any of them,

I'm 90% sure this is at least somewhat addressed. There were no Indian players available for the first or second season of the Aus T20 comp. No existing Indian players were available in the third season either but there were two regens available as internationals who had never played a match.

[ruby23]

Some problem with player records. Tanmay Mishra has not played any ODI's

He played for Tripura in 2019/20. Not played last season, suspect now retired. He played ODIs for Kenya, so he's now back as Kenyan as he's no longer playing in Indian domestic cricket.

Praveen Jayawickrama is SLA, not LS Changed thanks.

With Zak Crawley's first class batting preference being no.3, I'm using Opener training so that he shows as an opener in this as well. My question is, with him only being in England squads for a few days at a time in the summer, is the Opener Training continuing for him at his county? Also, does match experience in the newly trained position i.e. Opening for England speed up his development into a specialist opener?

It would be good if players who prefer no. 3 but are also adept openers still show up with the O icon. This happens with non-specialist wicketkeepers like Ollie Pope for example, so may be worth looking at

[danJ]

Jack Brooks for somerset on the game has retired from 1 day and T20, in real life he has been playing in the T20 blast and I think he will probably be playing in the Royal London One Day cup also. Also James Hildreth has been opening in the t20 blast this season.

Changed Brooks retired flags.

[Hampshire]

Joe Weatherley perhaps deserves an aggression boost given his t20 blast performances?

Scott Currie also feels a bit underrated given how well he's done.

Currie has been improved.

I'm yet to finish the first season, however here is some feedback about the Bangladesh squad. The info below is based on newspaper articles and players/coaches' interviews. Adjust the values of the players based on the feedback below if required.

• Bangladesh number 3 should be Nazmul Hossain in Test and Shakib Al Hasan in ODI.
• Taskin Ahmed is the most improved fast bowler (currently seen as the main attaking pacer) and his bowling average from now on should be around 30 in the test and 27 in ODI. Should do well in T20 as well (yet to see). His batting also improved a lot -- hit a 75 against Zimbabwe in the test. Besides, update him as RF as he consistently bowls around 140 kmh. He changed his lifestyle to achieve this as he told in recent interviews.
• Shamim Hossain(02/09/2000) hits the bowl really hard, the bowl goes like a bullet, thus is considered an upcoming finisher for T20/ODI(got selected in Bangladesh T20 squad against Zimbabwe). He should be updated as aggressive/very aggressive and should be considered as a batting all-rounder besides he is a very good fielder( known for acrobatic catches). A possible world-class player(in the future) and limited over specialist.
• Shahadat Hossain (08/02/2002) is very good at footwork and would do very well as an FC/Test opener according to a batting coach. In the game, Should be a batsman(middle-order) and not an all-rounder.
• Mahmudullah retired from the Test. He played a Test last month, so won't be retired from Tests until CC2022.
• Ebadat Hossain also should be RF, he bowled 145+ consistently this year. However, he is inconsistent with line and length. Changed
• Shadman Islam and Saif Hasan should be selected as openers alongside Tamim Iqbal in the Bangladesh test squad.
• Mohammad Naim should be the first choice opener alongside Tamim Iqbal in T20, and in the future in ODI as well.
• Hasan Mahmud and Shoriful Islam are considered the most promising pace bowlers in the country. Hasan Mahmud should be RF, as he is consistently bowled 140+ kmh. Mukidul Islam (in FC), Sumon Khan (Swing bowler), and Shohidul Islam( in limited over format) are also considered promising. Khaled Ahmed improved his limited over bowling (death over to be precise).
• Saif Hassan bowled many overs in domestic cricket recently, therefore should get a boost in bowling.
• Tamim Iqbal hinted a possible retirement from a format(most likely T20 after the world cup) by end of this year in order to focus on the other two formats.

[Rumblah]

Cameron Green bowling is overrated in game.

Cameron is a phenomenal bowler. Debuted for WA as a bowler and took 5/24 on debut and 7 for the match. He is the biggest talent Australia have produced since Ricky Ponting.

Sureshot edit: Carrying over from previous post:

SUR
Laurie Evans should be aggressive or very aggressive - RFM->OB - also quite underrated in his batting Changed to OB. His career SRs are average aggression. His ability is more than fair.
Mark Stoneman could possibly be defensive based on SRs since his England debut? Career SR is still in the average range and was last summer (56 SR last season)
Jamie Smith def-avg His SRs are stilll in defensive range.
Sam Curran is very underrated in both batting & bowling His abilities with bat and ball are fair.
Ben Geddes def-agg, possibly even v agg - AR->bat, hasn't bowled in a 2nd XI game as far as I'm aware. Should be made a limited overs opener (T20 at least) as he has reguarly opened there for Surrey sides (though he didn't bat there in his only game for the 2nd XI in a 50 over game in 2019). Now a batsman in next update, and limited overs opener (both). His SRs so far are low, 89 SR in 20 Over this season. Bit tought o tell so far.
Dan Moriarty's bowling is hugely underrated, superb figures in FC & T20s His in-game ability is fair, doing well this season and I'm keeping an eye on his ability.
SUS
Delray Rawlins should be an allrounder Doesn't bowl that much, and has a pretty weak record with the ball. Staying as a part-timer.
Harrison Ward should be an T20 opener in game Changed to LA + 20 Over opener, now defensive based on his season so far.
Luke Wright is very underrated Fair call, have improved.
Oli Carter should be rated higher as a keeper than Phil Salt (except possibly in T20s?)
Jack Carson's bowling is very underrated & he can bat a bit His batting ability is fair, but I've improved his bowling ability. Having a good consistent season.
George Garton bwl->AR, bats in the lower-middle order Improving with the bat, some decent knocks but he's not scoring enough runs to be an all-rounder yet.
Archie Lenham - def-avg - can bat aggressively & has done this batting higher up in the middle order for both the 2nd XI & in the Sussex League Sussex League and 2nd XI don't mean much. Only scoring at 82 in LA this season so far.
WAR
Sam Hain def->avg Pretty low FC SR, flitters between def and avg in 20 Over. Only scoring at 40 in FC this season, will stay as Def.
Adam Hose to very aggressive based on T20 strike rates the past few seasons? Don't think so just yet, his SR in 20 Over this season is only average.
Dan Mousley bat->AR? Bowling a bit, but don't think enough yet to be an all rounder.
I think Rob Yates should be changed from very defensive to average. I've also noticed he doesn't bowl at all ingame Career FC SR of 40, striking at 43 this season. He's V def.
Chris Benjamin - def to v agg - he's played 10 2nd XI T20s this season & has an average of 50.75 at a SR of 175 including a century Small sample size, but a fair call on his 20 Over innings this season.
Jacob Bethell T20 SR should be upped a little as he played 7 2nd XI T20s this year with a 39.40 average and 2 50s at a 155 SR which shows he can bat aggressively in T20s As yet, he's not done much at county level.
I don't think Henry Brookes should be set as a defensive batsman His FC SR is 50, that's defensive. No real data anywhere else.
Jake Lintott def->avg based on Minor Counties stats where he's played as an allrounder Very low SRs in 20 Overs when he's batted, in fact, I've changed him to V Def.
WOR
Alzarri Joseph def->agg with past few seasons in mind? Fair call, have changed.
YOR
TKC is massively overrated Agreed, have nobbled.
Adam Lyth bat->bat AR? Just a part timer.
Dawid Malan should be changed from a T20 opener to batting at 3 where he regularly bats for England. I've noticed that in the past few editions including this one he doesn't play a single game for England ingame even though he's currently the number 1 T20I batsman in the world. I'm not sure if that's because he's classified as an opener in-game and so others who are higher rated than him get played instead as I have found Malan to be quite underrated in game Have removed his 20 Over opener status, his ability is fair in game.
Matt Fisher def->avg Pretty low SR in FC, better in limited overs, but also a smaller sample and he bats at the end of an innings. Will stay def.
Harry Sullivan's surname is missing an l Silly me, fixed.

For Ireland:

Mark Adair - under bowling His ability looks more than fair to me.
Ross Adair - open bat? - LM->SLA - bat->AR? - avg->v agg Now SLA. Looks more part time to me based on how much he's bowling.
Ross Allen's bowling is very underrated, very expensive when in real life has economical figures Tweaked his ability and economy.
Andrew Balbirnie is very underrated Don't agree, his ability is strong.
Andy Britton should possibly be retired from FC? Hasn't played a red ball game in the interpros since 2013 while still playing the white ball formats He's retired from all formats.
A Crawley->Cawley - very underrated in bowling
George Dockrell should be classified as an allrounder. He's been batting at 5 for a few years for Leinster Lightning & now has been picked in that position by Ireland Now an all rounder.
Stephen Doheny - bat->wk/occ wk He now is, also now just an oepner in 20 Over.
Gavin Hoey bowling is underrated He's only played 2 professional games so far.
James Hunter bat->AR Changed
Ruadhan Jones - initals: RP Jones - according to Ireland's cricket archive he's a legspinner rather than an offspinner Changed.
Seanan Jones - initals: SR Jones
Graham Kennedy is a SLA rather than a LM. Also quite underrated in batting His batting is fair, is SLA in next update.
Jeremy Lawlor needs a boost in T20s where he has done well in Ireland, with a good strike rate, also has a strike rate of 144 in the interpro t20s this season Done okay this season in a few games, my concern with Lawlor is that he did struggle in England, I think he needs more time in Ireland before making changes.
Josh Little's bowling is very underrated His ability is fair for his record.
Seamus Lynch - should be changed from defensive to very aggressive or aggressive SR of 64 in LA this season, not seeing any reasons to change him from defensive.
Nathan McGuire should be an allrounder & aggressive rather than very defensive He's now average in next update (based on 90 SR in List A). In 7 LAs he's bowled 12 balls, in 12 20 Overs, he's bowled 20 balls. He's not an all-rounder based on that.
Kevin O'Brien's batting is very much underrated. Also now retired from ODIs I've improved him with the bat, but he'll stay as unretired in ODIs as he's played ODIs since April.
David O'Halloran - initals: DJAO - bowling is underrated Looks like he's been solid this season, have given him an improvement.
William Porterfield isn't retired from T20s or T20Is, he still plays T20s even this year but hasn't been picked in a T20I squad recently but is still available for selection I'm pretty sure I've unretired him from Dom 20 Over. He's not play a 20 Over Int since 2018, I'm pretty sure he's retired from 20 Over Int now.
David Rankin - bat->occ wk Changed.
Neil Rock's batting & keeping are underrated Have slightly improved.
Simi Singh - batting seems to be underrated & bowling very underrated & doesn't seem to be an economical bowler in-game. He's rated fairly in game.
Will Smale's batting is very underrated in-game. He's batted at 3 a few times in the interpros & also batted well for Ireland U19s in the World Cup qualification tournament in 2019, playing as a batter only in some games. As yet, he's not done enough to justify an increase.
Paul Stirling batting is very underrated No, his ability is very good in game.
Jack Tector batting is underrated His ability is fair for his current record.
Tim Tector - bwl->batting allrounder who doesn't bowl that much - very high potential for Ireland, similar to Harry's trajectory - bats at 4 often - should be changed from defensive to average aggression or even aggressive potentially as he can attack quite well and has done it on quite a few occasions Now a batsman. Current LA SR is 82, 20 Over SR is 110. He'll stay defensive for now.
Greg Thompson - def->v agg - possibly should be retired from FC? Will leave his retired flags, as he's not played in a while in any format. HIs SRs are low, 46 in FC, 72 in LA. A bit better in 20 Over at 137, but that's still really only average aggression. As a combination, he'll stay def for now.
Stuart Thompson - very underrated in FC & Test bowling His abilities are fair.
Lorcan Tucker v def->def, he's good in interpro cricket, with him having a 153 strike rate in the interpro t20s this year, but he does struggle in internationals His SRs in all formats are pretty low, will be staying as V Def for now.
I don't think Ben White should count be a very defensive batsman. He's also underrated in bowling. On his t20 debut earlier this year he bowled 6 dot balls. He still went at 9 an over in that match, it's a small sample size but his SRs are low. His bowling ability is fair in game.
Craig Young's bowling is very underrated Disagree, he's strongly rated in game.

These players are currently missing from the database:
Jarred Barnes (RFM rather than LM) Not played in a couple of years, possibly past his time in pro cricket?
Jack Carty
Greg & Matt Ford - both very aggressive batters with Matt playing as an allrounder for Munster
Michael Frost
Jamie Grassi
William McClintock is missing - was named in Irelands T20I squad - aggressive bat though doesn't always come off
Greg McFaul Not played in 2 years, will re-add him when he plays pro cricket again.
