Holland is eligible for both. He is eligible for USA for being a USA citizen. He is also eligible for England for being a resident for at least three years. Even though he currently represents USA, he can switch to England at any time but then would have to wait a period of three years before swapping back.

Similar thing to Kellopatha who has been a resident of Australia for a number of years and is a Sri Lankan citizen. Though unlikely, he could potentially represent either nation but since both Sri Lanka and Australia are both full ICC members unlike USA, he would have to wait a further three years if he wanted to swap after.

Can't find a fancy graphic with the new BBL finals format but this article has details of the four-match finals series and the full fixture.
Qualifier: 1 vs 2. The winner goes to the Grand Final, loser goes to the Challenger.
Knockout: 3 vs 4. The winner goes to the Challenger, loser is knocked out
Challenger: Loser of Qualifier and winner of Knockout.
Grand Final: Winner of qualifier vs Winner of Challenger

Wiaan Mulder batting is still overrated, always ends up batting at 4 for South Africa and becoming the one of the best batsmen in the world, in reality he's far from that.
Duanne Olivier looks slightly overrated, didn't play a test in the past year and it seems South Africa are preferring Coetzee over him.
George Linda still doesn't make the Western Province side when in reality he is one of their key players. Bjorn Fortuyn could also get a slight boost, isn't as good in game as he his IRL in domestic tournaments.

Edit: Eathan Bosch still gets into South Africa side when in reality he isn't jumping the current quicks. Think Delano Potgeiter has been over corrected, should get a small boost in batting and a slight nerf in bowling, shouldn't be making the SA side as early as he does and wouldn't be batting as low as he does

[S.A.& Kent]

I don`t know when the next update is due, but could you please ensure that N.D.P. Hettiarachchi & R.R. Wynter are returned to the ATG`s. Chris Wilkins should be an Opener/Occasional WK, not a wicket keeper, and would you also consider adding Philip Amm to the South African ATG`s. Thankyou.

I just want to find out why every test team is adopting Baz ball in the game? I get it with England but in my save with SL, Ireland spanked 600 in 4 sessions… Pakistan now scored 450 in a day before I bowled them out with Fawaz Alam making 175 in 140 balls! Is it just my luck or something? ????

[Yorkie]

Agree entirely and sadly it’s quickly spoilt my enjoyment. I’ve had a game where Ireland scored 723 and demolished Australia! Every teams score is now bloated. There’s something not right and I’m already back on 2022 version which plays sublime anyway.

[anu15]

Yes mate I have won all 3 of my test games I have played including the one I mentioned above. But it’s quite concerning that Pakistan and Ireland both set me 325 and 310 respectively on a last innings in Galle and whilst I batted relatively normal I still chased down with relative ease… and conditions of pitch were hugely favouring the spinners yeti batters were finding it easy to score 3.5-3.8 an over

[ruby23]

Yorkie and anu15 this year's version is probably not very dissimilar to last year's version. I have managed to read several of the values for players through FCE and notice that the skill of players while batting and bowling are tweaked to higher values to create a bazball effect. If it is done only for England players, then they would probably be too overrated in the game. Hence the high values for player skill seem to applied across the board to all players in the database!

[Yorkie]

Obviously so, and that’s what’s spoiling my immersion at least, but then it’s not a true representation of the rl game as it stands today. We’re seeing that with the current Ashes series.
Only England have adopted this care free bat as you please style, but now the new version has lost its natural parameters to include everyone else.
Sorry because I’m a massive fan, but I’ve had to go back to 22. The 23 scores are bloated, some verging on ridiculous. And not true to life.

[anu15]

Not going to lie here guys this is my first versions since 2011 so there have been lots of changes as I would expect but I still prefer a test match engine where there is some sort of realism as to how test cricket should be played. I think Bazball is a great product and should be incorporated in a way so other styles don’t get damaged or realism is somewhat taken away. Anyway I am still enjoying the game but am having to adjust way I play to suit the new test cricket especially when bowling

[r_j]

Isaiah Ali is a RHB and also a ROB rather than the LHB LM he is in game. Changed Whilst his DOB should be changed from 1/1/03 to 1/1/99 or 1/1/00 as crichq has him down as playing U20 cricket in Trinidad during the 2018/19 season. His initals are also apparently IZA.
Kadeem Alleyne should probably be a RFM rather than a RM. ChangedI would say he's very underrated with the ball, averaging 40+ in FCs & 50+ in LAs (with a best of only 1-57) in CC23 despite averaing 25.70 in List As (with a best of 4-50) & 22 in T20s.
Ackeem Auguste is a LHB rather than a RHB and should also have his batting position changed to 3 in FCs. He also captains quite regularly at age group level and if he isn't already, should be given a decent captaincy rating for the future. I also don't think he shouldn't be a spin specialist considering he can bat just as well against pace as he can against spin. He should possibly be changed from a free agent to the Windward Islands side as he is currently the captain of their U19 side in 2023 and played for the senior side last year. In my saves he tends to not bowl a ball when he should bowl a few overs occasionally especially in the 2 longer formats of the game.
Navin Bidaisee is a right arm Leg-Spinner rather than a LM and is also an allrounder rather than just a batsman. Changed His date of birth needs changing as well to the 24th of January 2000 as a Guyana Times article from the 4th of January 2019 states. He should also be a T20 Opener which he does in club cricket in Trinidad.
Carlos Brathwaite should probably be retired from 50 overs cricket as well, Done with his last game in the format being in November 2019. In some saves he currently gets into the ODI side immediately.
Joshua Bishop is underrated as a batsman (averaging around 5) & is massively underrated with the ball, averaging between 95 and 123 with the ball in 50 overs cricket with economies between 5.07 and 5.77, whilst in T20s he usually doesn't bowl a ball if he plays (1 save he played 11 matches and bowled just 2 overs in total). In real life he averages 7.50 from 2 FC innings at a strike rate of 53.57 (should be changed from very defensive to average aggression in FCs as a result), 8.00 in LAs, and has scored 53 quick runs in 7 T20 innings with 6 not outs. With the bowling he averages 32.33 at a economy of 3.34 in FCs, in 28 50 over matches he has taken 40 wickets at a average of 24.52 and a economy of only 4.02 including 2 4fers and 1 5fer (5-35), and in 14 T20s he has an average of 25.41 and a economy of 7.29 with a best of 3-20 to show for it. Hopefully he will be much improved in both batting & especially bowling.
Carlon Bowen-Tuckett is a SLW rather than a RM Changed. His initals are also CAB (or alternatively CAB-T) rather than just CB.
Zavier Burton should bowl a lot more, having bowled in 3 out of 5 of his List A matches, but is currently not bowling in CC23 including at 2nd XI level.
John Campbell is down as fit to play from the start of the game despite being banned for 4 years in October for an anti-doping rule violation which is why he didn't play in the 2022-23 season. He shouldn't be removed from the game and instead just given a 184 week ban.
Jonathan Drakes should be with the Barbados side having finished the recent season with them and also playing for them in other seasons as well.
Amari Goodridge's birthday is the 10th of November 2001.
Romario Greaves' date of birth is the 13th of December 1994. He is also a RHB rather than a LHB. Changed
Jon-Russ Jaggesar I find is very underrated with the ball and should be more economical. He also doesn't play a single T20 in all but 1 of my saves when he should play at least a few per season. His 2nd XI T20 career bowling average is down as 31.39 despite a career average of 29.41 from 21 CPL matches and a strike rate of 22. In 2nd XI LAs he has an average of 40.21 at a economy of 4.48 despite a career average of just 19 with 42 wickets from 27 matches at a econ of only 3.86 and a strike rate of 29.5 with a best of 4-29.
Joshua James is very underrated with bat & ball, averaging less than 10 with the bat and between 47 & 76.75 in LAs with the ball at economies usually over 7 in CC23, despite a career average and economy of 22.75 and 4.91 respectively whilst with the bat currently averaging 37.00 with a best of 73. He also should proably be a RMF, clocking over 85mph on quite a few occasions when he was 18 during the 2020 U19 WC. He could also possibly be changed to an all-rounder.
Kirstan Kallicharan is an LB rather than an OB according to the ICC's media guide for the 2018 U19 WC, the released sheet for the 2022 CC&C squad and his crichq profile. He should also be changed to either a limited overs opener or a all formats opener, regularly opening in the 50 overs cricket (including for CC&C last season) & in the T20s, but I don't know if he opens in red ball cricket or not.
Johann Layne is quite underrated, either not playing at all or playing but barely bowling (1 save playing 2 matches and bowling just 3 overs in 1 match & not bowling in the other) whilst going at an expensive average including at 2nd XI level (the saves he doesn't play he tends to average 35 to 40+ with the ball). I would also say he's a bit underrated with the bat as well considering how he's done in his only FC & LA innings.

[r_j]

Evin Lewis should be nerfed massively in international selection in T20Is & especially in ODIs. He also tends to dominate internationally in the game when he has struggled in the last few years and hasn't been picked at other times, struggling to get in the 1st choice T20I side last year (he is on the fringes of the side at best) and not playing an ODI in 2 years, not playing any domestic 50 overs cricket since then either and looking unlikely to play in the format for quite a while yet.
Kennar Lewis is underrated with the bat & gloves, often only playing 1 T20 game a season and scoring both lowly & very slowly which is the opposite of his game which is quite attacking. He is also a RM or a RFM instead of a LM, opening the bowling on FC debut.
Obed McCoy rarely plays for West Indies in my saves (most not at all) when he should be a regular in the T20I squads, not playing the South Africa series in March due to injury, with him only returning on the 7th of May in the IPL although he didn't play another match after that. As a result he should be marked down as injured for 5 or 6 weeks from the start of CC23. He should also be changed to a LF or LMF with him bowling at 91 mph during his 6-17 vs India last year Changed to LMF for now.
Ashmead Nedd is underrated with the ball a little, especially economy wise. In my saves he tends to go between averages of 41 and 142 in LAs at economies over 5 despite in real life taking 22 wicekts in 17 LA's at an average of 22.59, a economy of 3.75 and a best of 4-29 with a strike rate of only 36.1 to boot.
Ashley Nurse should be retired. He last played professionally in 2021 and has since played in the exhibition T20 leagues for retired players in the past year.
Matthew Patrick should be changed to an all-rounder and also changed from an opener to a middle order player in all formats, having played in the middle order both at club level (including 2 innings cricket) and when he last played for the West Indies U19s. Changed.
Kelvin Pitman (I believe is spelt with just 1 rather than 2 t's) was born on the 4th of June 2003. He's also a little underrated with the ball, in some LA games not bowling a single ball at all.
Michail Powell is a RFM rather than a LM Changed
Denesh Ramdin is a bit underrated with the bat, often averaging in the low to mid 10s with the bat in my saves.
Ravi Rampaul is very underrated as a bowler, in most saves he doesn't play whilst in the ones he does gets to play he doesn't bowl a single ball (the most being 4 T20s and he didn't bowl a single delivery)
Demario Richards' DOB is the 4th of July 1998 and his initals are DJR. He should also be changed to an occasional keeper. Now keeper
Kyle Roopchand is a LB rather than a RM Changed
Kesrick Williams is quite underrated in T20s. He made a recovery from injury and put in some encouraging performances whilst playing regularly for St Lucia, but in CC23 the CPU doesn't play him in a single game and he seems to be quite expensive both average & economy wise (usually around 40 & an econ of 9+) when I pick him.
Nyeem Young in T20s is very underrated especially as a bowler (and a bit as a batsman), with him not bowling in any of the games he plays, despite in real life having an average of 18.36, a economy of 7.87 and a best of 3-5 to show for his efforts to showcase his potential as an all-rounder in all 3 formats.

Kraigg Brathwaite is very underrated with the bat in FC's, either not playing a single test in some saves (despite being test captain & not injured) and in others being dropped after about 4 or so tests due to averaging in the low 20s in both Tests & domestic cricket. In real life in Tests he has averaged 33.75 in 2021, 62.45 in 2022 and 37.14 in 2023, with a batting average of 36.71 as captain of the side which is better than his overall record. I've also noticed he doesn't bowl a single ball in all of my saves (1 save he bowled 2 overs in a 50 over game but that was it) when he should be bowling semi-regularly, having bowled 56 overs in 2021 (6 wickets at 28.33 & an econ of 3.04 with a best of 3-25), 52.4 overs in 2022 (4 @ 61.50 & an econ of 4.67), 10 overs in 2023 (1 @ 25 with an economy of 2.50) and 445 overs overall in 85 Tests for 29 wickets at a economy of 3.37 and a best of 6-29.
Shamarh Brooks should be a regular in ODIs (playing 28 out of 31 ODIs since his debut at the start of 2022) & around the fringes of both the Test & T20I sides.
Nicholas Kirton should possibly be an allrounder who bowls economically. He definitely should bowl a bit as he doesn't bowl a ball in the 1st or 2nd XI in CC
Rashawn Worrell's date of birth is the 20th of May 2002 and his initals are RAW.
Jonathan Carter is an allrounder not a keeper, and should also be a regular in LAs whilst playing a few FCs here and there. Changed
Rivaldo Clarke is an OB rather than a RM Changed
Shai Hope should be changed to very defensive in limited overs cricket based mainly on his ODI strike rate of just 75 in an era when a normal ODI strike would easily be north of 90. His ODI strike rate is even lower than Jonathan Trott's who got a lot of flak for his strike rate and also had a similar average to Hope's. Whilst being possibly a little underrated in ODIs, he is massively overrated in T20Is & T20s in both batting & selection. He has only played 19 T20Is in 6 years with an average of 17.88 to show for it, but in my saves he plays almost every T20I and averages around 25+ at strike rates of 140+.
Roston Chase should be very defensive in limited overs cricket based on his strike rates.
Jason Holder is massively underrated in both batting & bowling & perhaps also international selection. He also gets dropped after 2 tests in every save of mine for some reason despite being a test regular since his debut. In my saves he averages around 20 with the bat & only bowls 20 odd overs across 2 tests, despite being a frontline bowler, averaging 28.79 at a economy of 2.57 with a best of 6-42 (21.67 and a econ of 2.90 this year) to show for it. In ODIs in CC23 (Greaves tends to take his spot for some reason) he tends to average between 7 & 20 at low strike rates with the bat, in real life he averages 24.86 at a strike of 90.24 from 138 ODIs. With the ball in ODIs he tends to average between 43 & 62 at economies between 6.50+. In T20s he is more fairly rated in both batting & bowling though his batting probably needs a bit of a touch up (averaging around the low 10s with the bat & between 24 & 48 at economies of 8.88 in-game although he had a very good year in T20Is last year bowling wise).
Kyle Mayers should possibly be changed to aggressive in limited overs cricket. He also needs to be changed to opening in 50 overs cricket alongside T20s, regularly opening for West Indies in 17 of his 22 ODIs. He is also very massively in batting & also quite a bit underrated in bowling, often averaging in the mid teens in LOIs whilst with the ball averaging between the mid 30s & 74 in Tests at economies between 2.84 and 3.68 (in real life he has 34 wickets @ 18.29 and a econ of 2.45), whilst in domestic T20s he tends to average of over 30 with the ball at economies of 8.70 to 8.92 despite an economy of 7.54 in T20s
Roshon Primus is quite underrated as a batsman (averaging between 12 & 14 with the bat in T20s despite averaging 19.40 in the CPL last season and 19.46 overall, whilst scoring 130 not out in the 50 over competition last season) and should also be playing in at least a few LAs for Barbados, as he often doesn't play a single FC or LA for them in my saves.
Raymon Reifer needs to be changed to batting at 3 in FCs, having done so for West Indies in Tests in the last year. He should also be changed to defensive and get a strike rate boost in all formats, with his strike rate last year batting at 3 being 50.11 from 9 innings and including 3 fifties, while in the CPL last year he had a strike rate of 127.84 and a average of 28.12 alongside it. He is also very underrated with the bat, averaging only in the 20s to 30 in domestic FCs & between 8 and 16 in the few T20s the CPU plays him in, whilst not playing a single domestic 50 over match and not getting anywhere near to playing a international match in any format despite being a regular for the West Indies in tests (batting at 3) and being around the ODI & T20I sides. He is also a little bit underrated in bowling, especially in 50 overs cricket, where in ODIs he has taken 6 wickets in as many matches with an average of 24.83, a strike rate of 26.83 and an economy of 5.55, although he doesn't bowl too much in T20s.
Shamar Springer's first name is spelt wrong (Shemar in CC23)
Kevin Wickham bowls LB rather than OB. Changed He is also very underrated in both batting & bowling, with him not playing a single game in any format even 4+ seasons in. During those seasons of not playing, he tends to average in the low 20s with the bat in the 2nd XI FCs & LAs (and also just 11 in career 2nd XI T20s), and with the ball he averages between 34.29 and 41.57 in 2nd XI FCs, between 61.25 and 88.00 in 2nd XI LAs, and a career 2nd XI T20 average of 37. In real life he has averaged 23.78 in FCs including 121 against a good bowling attack in his most recent match, and 27.66 in LA's with a fifty and also a 46 against Jamaica. With the ball he didn't get to bowl too much until the last game (the WI Academy had many all-rounders which is why some frontline bowlers didn't get to bowl too much either despite performing) and has 6 wickets at an average of 30 and a economy of 5.48 in 50 overs cricket, beating the bat quite a few times and being unlucky to not get more wickets with him being threatening with the ball. He has showed great potential with both bat & ball at a young age (including a batting average of 81 in U19 ODIs) but it isn't reflected yet in CC23.

[r_j]

Miguel Cummins should possibly be retired from 50 overs cricket, last playing for Barbados in 2019 despite playing for Kent & Barbados in FCs since then. I don't know if he's been putting himself forwards for the CPL drafts in recent years, but if he hasn't then he could possibly be retired from that as well considering his last T20 was in 2020 for Middlesex.
Dominic Drakes never plays a single game in any format in all of my saves, despite him making his ODI debut against the UAE & often being in the frame for a callup in T20Is. He is also a bit underrated with the bat, especially in T20s where he puts up low numbers despite being a improved batsman over the past 2/3 years. He has also just signed with Warwickshire for the remainder of the T20s.
Akeem Jordan is underrated with the ball and should be a regular in FCs and LAs as well (having made his ODI debut against the UAE in June), but currently doesn't play any games in any formats in most of my saves.
Javed Leacock is massively underrated with the ball, not playing a single game when he should be a regular in 50 overs cricket and having poor returns in the 2nd XI, averaging between 39 and 51.62 in the 2nd XI FCs at economies between 3.13 and 3.85, whilst in 2nd XI LAs he goes between 26 and 47 with the ball at economies varying between 4.76 and 6.72, whilst in T20s averaging between 29 & 33 with the ball at economies between 8.55 and 9.67. In real life he took 7 wickets @ 28.86 in the 50 Over competition last season at an economy of 5.46, a strike rate of 31.7 and a best of 4-48. In the domestic 3 day championship in Barbados in the season just gone, he took 24 wickets in 7 matches at an average of 23.00 and with a best of 7-38, and in the domestic T20s he performs well as well, taking a 4-15 last month against a side including at least 5 pros. During the Super50 coverage he impressed me quite a lot, with him beating the edge of the bat a lot of times and always being threatening with the ball, finding his groove in his 3rd game where he took 3-63 against the WI Academy before taking 4-48 against the Leeward Islands, with his last game having the T&T seeing him out. I could definitely see him playing for the West Indies in just 2 or 3 years time with how well he's gone. His DOB is also the 28th of July 1997 rather than 2003, whilst other articles mentioned him being 25 years old last year including when he took 7-38 in a top division red ball match in Barbados.
Jair McAllister should be changed to aggressive based on his first class strike rate, and his white ball strike rate to either the same or average aggression as he hasn't played a white ball match yet. His date of birth is also the 30th of August 1996. He is also a RHB rather than a LHB and should probably be a RMF as well, getting good pace and bounce off the wickets he plays on. Changed to RHB RMF.
Kemar Roach is massively underrated I find, in my saves he doesn't play a single Test despite being the leader of the attack and their best bowler (averages 24.98 at a economy of 2.91 from 40 tests in the past 6 years since his pace has lowered, at home he has 90 @ 19.35 at a econ of 2.77) and rarely plays domestic FCs & LAs in my saves despite not being selected by the West Indies either. In those saves he tends to average in the mid 20s in FCs at economies around the 3+ mark when his economy should be much lower, and in LAs he tends to average in the mid 20s at economies in the mid 4.90s, whilst in real life he averages 23.56 at an economy of 4.74 career wise in domestic 50 overs cricket. His batting is also a bit underrated, averaging around 5 in domestic FC & LAs despite in real life averaging 12 in Test & ODIs and similar domestically. He should also probably be a RFM, with his test average and economy has been much better since his average speed has dropped, which I believe happened after a car crash almost a decade ago. Changed to RFM.
Ramon Simmonds' bowling is very underrated in all formats (batting is a tad too), not playing any FCs or LAs & barely playing any T20s. In my saves he averages in the high 20s or higher in the T20s he plays at economies at well over 9 an over, and in the 2nd XI LAs he averages between the low 20s & 75, whilst he doesn't play a single 2nd XI FC. In real life he has played 5 FCs and taken 15 wickets at an average of 15.67 and economy of 2.85 (SR of 32.9 and best of 4-64), in 3 LAs he has 5 @ 26.20 with a best of 4-39 and a strike rate of 24.0, and in 16 T20s he has 15 wickets at a economy of 9.22, a strike rate of 16.3 and a best of 4-24 with a 34% dot percentage to boot, with him showing good potential in the CPL last year. He should be given a good bowling boost in all formats and also playing a few FCs & LAs in addition to being a regular or semi-regular in T20s. He should also be changed to a LMF, hitting 85 mph+ during the SA T20 which I believe he did consistently. Changed to LMF.
Jomel Warrican should be changed to very defnesive in limited overs cricket.

Tagenarine Chanderpaul is a little bit underrated in FCs & Tests.
Chandrapaul Hemraj currently doesn't bowl a ball when he should be bowling semi-regularly in white ball cricket, especially in T20s.
Shimron Hetmyer is very overrated in FCs/Tests & LAs/ODIs but very underrated in domestic T20s where he can often average 15 to the low 20s in my saves, despite averaging 40.87 at a strike rate of 152.87 in 29 IPL matches since joining Rajasthan Royals in 2022 and an average of 28.47 (with a strike rate of 158.74) from 26 T20s with his previous team. He needs a big international selection nerf though, as he hasn't played a Test in 4 years and a ODI in 2 years, but in CC23 he currently plays almost every Test & ODI (as well as every T20I) from the very start of the game. He is also very overrated with the ball, bowling quite a few overs and also being rated higher than Rovman Powell oddly (at least in T20Is/T20s) when he has never bowled a ball in his career and looks unlikely to do so any time soon. His batting positions should also be changed from 3 to 5 in both 50 overs & T20s, batting there both regularly and in his most recent games in the formats.
Vishaul Singh should be retired from both 50 overs & T20 cricket, having last played a LA match 7 years ago in January 2016 (before his test debut surprisingly) and never playing a T20. He should be down as retired, as he is currently suing the Guyana Cricket Board, with his age I doubt any other side will pick him considering he's a red ball specialist. He also describes himself as a ex pro cricketer on his instagram whilst the article about him suing the GCB also calls him that. He also seems to be living in the US. Removed him from Guyana, but won't be able to retire him until CC24.
Anthony Bramble is very underrated especially as a keeper but also a bit as a batsman. He doesn't play any more than 2 or 3 FCs in my saves and never plays any 50 overs cricket when he should be a regular in LAs & also FCs. He tends to barely take any catches even at 2nd XI level in all formats despite being a very good keeper with a good record to show for it as well. He tends to do badly with the bat at both 1st XI FCs & 2nd XI LA level (averaging around 15 with the bat, and not playing many 2nd XI FCs) despite averaging 30 in FCs with a best of 196* and 21 with 3 fifties in 63 LAs, as well as earning a callup to the West Indies side in 2019. He should be changed to a limited overs opener in CC23 as he has also been opening in the 50 overs for Guyana as well in the MiLC last year (not playing in the CPL) if not longer, getting good success with the bat in both formats since transitioning to an opener.
Tevin Imlach is a ROB rather than a RM according to his cricx profile. Changed
Kemol Savory needs to be changed to an occasional keeper, as he very rarely keeps for Guyana in List A matches & never in FC matches, for example not keeping in only one of his last 10 games (in 1 50 over game) that stretches over the past 4 years, but in CC23 he gets in ahead of Anthony Bramble & Tevin Imlach in all formats which shouldn't be the case. Changed.
Kevlon Anderson is very underrated as a batsman, averaging 35.67 with a best of 153 from 5 FCs & making solid starts in the LAs with 3 scores over 30. In the game currently he doesn't play any games in any formats even as the years progress, in large part due to averaging in the low 20s in 2nd XI FCs. He is also a off-spinner in real life rather than a RM. Now OB
Matthew Nandu should be a opener in both FCs & 50 Overs cricket (I don't know if he opens in T20s) having opened for Guyana in the red ball cricket and also opening for West Indies U19s at the World Cup. He is also a bit underrated as both a batsman and bowler, averaging in the low 20s in 2nd XI FCs (lower than his real life stats like Anderson's) and averaging 40 to 50+ in FCs at economies of around 3.20+ when he should be a regular bat in FCs & a more economical option.
Sherfane Rutherford needs a international selection nerf, with him being a regular in Tests and being selected in a few LOIs in my saves, despite not playing any FCs since 2019, not playing an ODI and last playing a T20I in 2020 before covid hit. He's possibly a little overrated with the ball as well considering he rarely bowls in T20s and bowls less than half his quota in 50 overs cricket. He should probably be retired from FCs as he last played over 4 years ago and looks very unlikely to play in it, with him prioritising and playing in T20 leagues over playing red ball cricket. I also find he bats too low in the game, with him batting around 7 or 8 in most saves, when he batted at 6 in the Super50 and at 4 in the CPL last year.
Junior Sinclair is very underrated with bat & ball, especially in T20s where he doesn't bowl a single ball (due to his 2nd XI
Anthony Adams is a RHB rather than a LHB Changed

[r_j]

Shamar Joseph is very underrated and should also be playing in FCs regularly as he currently doesn't play any games in any formats. In 2nd XI FCs he averages between 35.14 and 39.21 with the ball at economies between 3.09 and 3.37, whilst in 2nd XI LAs averaging between 41.33 and 61.50 as well as averaging 32 with the ball in 2nd XI T20s. In real life he has played 3 FCs so far, doing well and finishing with a 5fer and a average of 22.56 to go along with an economy of 3.27 and a strike rate of 41. He was 23 years old according to an article around the time of his debut so should perhaps be changed to 1/1/00 as his DOB. From the videos I've seen of him, I would say he should probably be changed to a RMF rather than being a RFM. Now RMF.
Gudakesh Motie with the ball is a bit overrated in T20s & a bit underrated in FCs/Tests. He is currently out injured with a lower back injury sustained while playing for West Indies A and should be down as injured for at least 20 weeks if not more considering he's still out injured and in rehab so will miss the India series.
Veersammy Permaul should be changed to average aggression in FCs, striking at 50 in both FCs & Tests in his career, and 53 domestically in the last season and 54 the season before that. He is also a bit underrated with the bat and ball, only playing 2 FCs when he should be a regular and averaging between 30 & 42 with the ball and less than 10 with the bat which is quite different to how he performs both career wise and in recent seasons.
Romario Shepherd is very underrated with the bat, averaging in the low 10s in my saves in all formats whilst in real life he averages 26.43 in FCs at a strike rate of 58.43 with 1 century and 4 fours, an average of 22.36 in LAs with 4 fifties, and a average of 22.36 in T20s with 1 fifty. He should also be changed to an all-rounder. He is quite underrated with the ball, averaging over 50 with the ball in LAs at economies very close to 6. He should be a regular in both ODIs & T20Is for West Indies but in CC23 he doesn't play a single game and doesn't even get into any squads of 15 that are selected by the CPU. He's been batting at 6 recently in T20Is for West Indies and around 6 or 7 in ODIs so his batting positions should be changed to 6 in T20s & probably 50 overs too. He could potentially be retired from FCs (although maybe not Tests?), with his last FC game being for the West Indies A in December 2020.
Kevin Sinclair should be changed to aggressive in FCs and very defensive in limited overs, and should have his batting positions changed to 7 in FCs (batting regularly there for Guyana and West Indies A) and to 8 in T20s (batting there in his most recent CPL game).

Brad Barnes should be an allounder, bowling regularly in most of his matches. At the moment he doesn't bowl a ball even at 2nd XI level. His DOB is also 11/11/98 according to the ICC rather than 11/2/98. Now AR.
Based on his strike rates in both the last year & career wise, Jermaine Blackwood should be changed to very defensive in limited overs cricket. He is underrated with the bat in Tests, often averaging in the low to mid 20s and being dropped after 2 to 6 tests when he should be a regular for at least a year or 2 (batting at 4 or 5) whilst in real life he averages 30.53 from 54 Tests (interestingly he averages 35 at 6, which is much higher than the next highest which is 27 as opener, and at 4 & 5) whilst also scoring 38 in his comeback test in 2019 (only innings of the year), averaging 42.70 in 2020, 24.40 in 2021, 32 in 2022 and 30 in 2023. He is also very overrated in white ball cricket, often playing a few ODIs & T20Is in some saves and in almost all my saves he does very well in domestic white ball cricket, often averaging 50+ in 50 overs cricket and around 25 to 30+ in T20s at a quick rate, despite ever playing 3 ODIs in 8 years with poor results & no T20Is, whilst averaging 27.55 at a strike rate of 75 in 50 overs cricket & 17.38 in T20s at a strike rate of just 90 which is why he often doesn't get picked in the CPL. I've also noticed he doesn't bowl a single ball in any format when he should be an occasional option in FCs & Tests, bowling a few here & there after the likes of Brathwaite (who also doesn't bowl in CC23) who bowls a few overs often.
Nkruma Bonner is very underrated with the bat, not playing more than 2 FCs matches & 0 LA matches in all of my saves, the highest average from those saves being 24 with the bat whilst not bowling a single ball even at 2nd XI level. In real life he should be a regular in FCs & LAs for Jamaica, and around the set up of the West Indies sides, averaging 38.24 in 15 Tests with an average of 41.21 in 9 Tests in 2021 and 32.29 in 6 Tests in 2022 before being dropped after being concussed against Australia, only playing 2 matches since his proper return in March at the end of the season. In List A cricket he also averages 35.26 domestically and 21.13 in domestic T20s. He doesn't bowl a single ball in my saves despite bowling occasionally in FCs/Tests, LAs/ODIs and T20s.
Carlos Brown's date of birth is the 24th of November 1999. He also should be down as opening in T20s Changed.
John Campbell should be banned. He is currently banned until the 10th of May 2026 due to an anti-doping violation, so should be changed from fit to play to a 162 week ban. Will sort.
Tevin Gilzene's date of birth is the 14th of July 1994 and he is also a RHB rather than a LHB Changed
Javelle Glenn is also massively overrated with with the bat, often averaging between around 35 to 40+ in FCs & 25 to 35+ in List As when in real life he has never batted in FCs, and from 4 List A matches he averages 8.66 with the bat and 16.62 in T20s. With his strike rates considered as well, he should probably be changed to very defensive in limited overs cricket.
Brandon King should be a opener in 50 overs cricket as well, opening regularly in ODI cricket over the past year alongside Mayers.
Andre McCarthy should be a regular in white ball cricket as well bowling semi-regularly, but doesn't play a single game in any format in my saves and rarely bowls (other saves not a single ball) at 2nd XI level
Kirk McKenzie should be changed to average aggression if not aggressive in FCs, having a strike rate of 56 over the last year. He is also very underrated with the bat, only playing between 1 and 3 FC matches in my saves and in most saves averaging in the low 20s or below, despite an average of 39.40 from 9 FCs with 1 century and 4 fifties, scoring 221 against a good bowling attack before hitting 86 and then 91 in consecutive innings for West Indies A in Bangladesh. He is certainly going to be a regular for Jamaica from this season onwards in FCs & LAs and will probably play a few T20s again in the CPL as well, and with that record and form could very soon be in contention for the West Indies Test side in the top order if he keeps going like this.
Paul Palmer is a ROB rather than a LM, and should also be changed from a white ball opener to batting at 3 (5 before that) in 50 overs cricket & also batting at 7 in the Jamaica T10. Now OB
Rovman Powell is very underrated and should be a ever present in both the ODI & T20I sides, being the T20I Captain (in CC23 currently it's down as Shai Hope) and ODI vice captain as well as being a very important player for them in the past year or 2. In T20Is (T20 is a little better) he tends to average between 11 and 21 despite in real life averaging 24.30 career wise whilst also averaging 30.18 (SR of 149.13 and with a century) in 2022 and 41.00 at a 200 SR in 2023. He very rarely bowls a ball in most saves when he should be used as a 6th or sometimes 7th bowling option in domestic & international white ball cricket, with his economy and average needing lowering as he when he rarely bowls it's often 2 or 4 overs in a 50 overs match (doesn't bowl in T20s in CC23) and he goes wicketless at 10 or 11 an over which is much higher than both his career & last season's average & economy rate. Could also possibly be retired from FCs having last played almost 3 years ago and globetrotting around the world. If he isn't already then he should be the captain for Jamaica in the CPL
Alwyn Williams's first name is spelt wrong (currently Alwayne in CC23), his date of birth is also the 16th of January 1994. He is also a LHB and RFM rather than a RHB LM, and is an all-rounder rather than a batsman. He also should be changed from a FC & LA opener, batting at 6 in FCs & 3/4 in 50 overs cricket although he does still open in T20s. He hasn't played any cricket since a heart issue at the start of February during his last red ball match, which led to Mansingh's FC debut.
Romaine Morris is down as Romaine Morrison in CC23, his real surname being Morris according to various Jamaican newspaper articles as well as his own US Open bio.
Chadwick Walton is a LB rather than a RM. Changed
Gordon Bryan's date of birth is the 3rd of June 1992.
Dennis Bulli is a RHB rather than a LHB. Changed
Sheldon Cottrell's & Akim Fraser's surname are spelt wrong in-game.
Patrick Harty is a RHB rather than a LHB Changed
Jamie Merchant needs his economy lowered,
Jeavor Royal is massively underrated with the ball, in all of my saves not playing a single FC match no matter how many years, averaging 50+ in LAs & T20s at economies of 5.60+ and 9.50+ respectively, barely playing in the LAs & T20s. In real life he is a white ball regular (& perhaps might play FCs regularly next season too) and his average & economies are massively different in real life to how he's portrayed in CC23, showcasing his potential in all 3 formats and how he's improving each season, deserving a big boost.
Peat Salmon's name is spelt wrong, with both Jamaican newspapers and his crichq profile giving his name as Peat rather than Pete. He should also be changed to very aggressive in FCs.

[r_j]

Ojay Shields should be changed from RFM to either RMF or even potentially RF and should be changed to very aggressive in FCs and very defensive in limited overs cricket. Now RMF.
Odean Smith should be a allrounder & also changed to a RMF as he can hit 140 kph+ consistently. Now RMF He is also massively underrated as a batsman and also very underrated as a bowler in 50 overs & T20 cricket in CC23, so much so that he never plays a single ODI or T20I in all of my saves bar one (and in that he played no T20Is & 3 ODIs where he batted in 1 innings for 13 not out & averaged 51 with the ball at an economy of 8) when he should be a definite regular in white ball cricket for the West Indies. In my saves he averages less than 15 domestically with the bat at a strike rate under 90 in 50 overs cricket despite in real life averaging 29.12 at a strike rate of 109.5 in domestic 50 overs cricket and also averaging 28.43 in 9 ODIs (with only 1 not out) at a strike rate of 167.23 (last year averaged 36 with the bat), whilst in domestic T20s he averages in the low teens despite in real life averaging 19.09 in domestic T20s and in T20Is averaging 13.69 with 13 fours & 11 sixes from 19 innings. With the ball he averages between 32.58 and 56.67 in 50 overs cricket at economies of 5.14 and 6.05 when in real life he averages 28.58 domestically at a average of 5.78 and in ODIs he averages 29.00 at a economy of 5.53 (24.40 at 5.05 in 2022 and 34.75 at 6.04 this year) whilst in those ODIs in my save he averaged 51 at an economy of 8. In my saves he can tend to average nearly 30 with the ball in T20s domestically with an economy hovering in the low 9s or sometimes below, whilst in real life he averages 25.22 at a economy of 9.57 in domestic T20s (but a surprising dot ball percentage of 40%) which also includes averaging 29.67 at a economy of 11.87 in the IPL with a best of 4-30, while in T20Is he averages 27.41 at a economy of 10.14 (average of 28.50 at a econ of 11.40 in 2021, 26.94 at a econ of 9.33 in 2022 and 21.00 at a econ of 15.75 in 2023), which all showcases his wicket taking ability (as shown by his low bowling strike rates) but also his high economy rates. I've noticed how the CPU will sometimes bat him at 9 or 10 (occasionally even at 11) in the batting order in T20s when he bats far higher up, regularly batting at 7 in the T20I side. He could also probably be retired from FCs (or nerfed in selection by the AI to the point where he doesn't play any matches as I'd argue he's underrated in batting & bowling in FCs as well considering his career stats) as he hasn't played the format in over 3 years and looks unlikely to anytime soon considering he's globetrotting and seems very much like a white ball specialist.

Larry Audain should be changed to a RHB & OB Changed and should bowl here and there. Based on the videos I've seen of him, I would also say he should be changed to having a slight spin preference, a strong frontfoot preference and a strong legside preference. His date of birth should be changed to 1993 as a google search of his name comes up with a SKNVibes article from the 6th of September 2014 that calls him a 21 year old. I would possibly say he should possibly be changed to average aggression or aggressive in limited overs cricket based but could just as easily be kept as defensive as well. From what I've seen I would say he should be changed to a slight spin preference and a strong frontfoot and strong legside preference.
Keacy Carty's first name is spelt wrong in the game, currently spelt in CC23 as Kacey. He is also very underrated with the bat and should also be an ODI regular, as at the moment he doesn't play a single ODI (or any international such as Tests) even 5 years down the line. In my saves he averages in the low 20s domestically (including in 50 overs cricket domestically where he averages 29.40 career wise). This is despite averaging 26.40 and 27.75 in the last 2 seasons (25.63 career wise) of FC cricket, whilst in the domestic 50 overs competition last season he averaged 46.80 whilst also being an ODI regular (has been named in every squad since his debut against the Netherlands I believe) where he has an average of 25.89 (29.33 this year) and has impressed as well as showing his potential of what he can do. He also doesn't bowl in any save when he should bowl occasionally. He needs a decent boost in both batting ability and international ODI selection.
Kofi James should be changed to an all-rounder and bowl regularly, which he does so whilst also being economical for the Leeward Islands in real life. Last season he bowled the most overs in the 50 over competition whilst bowling the 4th most in the FCs. In CC23 he currently doesn't bowl a ball even at 2nd XI level. He is also very underrated with both bat (in FCs) & ball (especially 50 Overs). He doesn't play a single game in any save of mine despite being a regular in both formats for the Leeward Islands. With the bat he averaged 27.67 in FCs (26.00 in his career) and 18.33 in LAs (12.00 career wise) last season while being a regular & near ever-present in both formats. He also impressed with the ball, taking 14 wickets at an average 14.64 in the LAs last season with a economy of 4.29, a strike rate of 20.5 and a best of 4-32. In that 50 over competition last season, he also managed to become the joint 2nd highest wicket-taker out of all the teams. In the FCs he bowled 80 overs and took 6 wickets at an average of 43, along with a economy of 3.20 and a best of 3-39, which shows his all-rounder credentials.
Kieran Powell is a OB rather than a RM according to his cricx profile.
Akeem Saunders is massively overrated, often averaging 40+ in FC & LA's in most of my saves despite only playing just 2 FC matches (averaging 5) last season and none the season before, with no 50 over matches in either season either. He also last played a List A Match almost 4 years ago in 2019 and before his return in 2 FC matches in 2023, his last FC matches had come 4 years and 1 day beforehand in March 2019. Career wise he averages just 18.29 from 27 FC matches with only 1 century & fifty each, whilst he averages only 17.46 with just 1 fifty from 19 List A matches.
Jahmar Hamilton should be a regular in FCs and not just LAs, with him being the captain of the Leeward Islands in both FC & LA's for at least 4 years now (since 2019 although potentially earlier). He should also be changed from a RM to a OB, and his batting positions should be changed from 6 in all formats to 5 in FCs where he bats for the Leeward Islands, 4 in LA's and 5 in T20s.
Ross Powell should possibly be changed to an occasional keeper or just a batsman, as he hasn't kept for Leeward Islands in any of his last 10 games, and I don't think he's ever kept for them.
Devon Thomas should be a 50 overs opener Changed as well and bowl regularly in First-Class cricket as well as more occasionally in the white ball formats, bowling with good success in all formats including internationally. Currently he doesn't bowl a single ball in CC23. He is also very underrated with the bat, and should also be a regular in the West Indies squads in all 3 formats (for example was named in the last few Test squads including the tour to South Africa and the last few ODI squads including against the UAE last month) although he currently is nowhere near international selection in CC23. He is currently suspended on suspicion on fixing so could be down as banned for around 52 weeks (like how Gunathilaka is in the game) as everything is currently unclear.
Rakheem Cornwall is quite underrated with the bat in FCs and very underrated with the bat in limited overs, and he is also possibly a tad underrated in bowling in all formats (definitely in 50 overs) whilst his economy needs a bit of lowering in all formats. In most of my saves in the low 20s or below in FCs, under 20 (usually mid-teens) with the bat in LAs, and usually around the low teens and under in T20s with the bat when he averages much higher in both his career as well as averaging 25+ in all 3 formats last season. With the ball he can go at averages of under 30 in some saves and at economies of around 3 an over, despite in real life having 355 domestic wickets at an average of just 22.55 (24 5fers, 6 10 wicket hauls and a strike rate of 48.3) along with an economy of 2.80 (in Tests his economy is 2.89), whilst in LAs he can go between 27 and 48 with the ball at economies between 5.07 and 5.51 despite in real life having an average of just 25.29 and a economy of just 3.71 (average of 22 and econ of 4.26 last season). T20s he seems to be fine with an ok economy as well. I've also noticed in my saves that he is a regular for the Leeward Islands in limited overs cricket but oddly only ever plays 2 or 3 FC games a season when he should be nearly an ever-present in every format.
Terance Warde is missing an e off his surname.
Colin Archibald is massively underrated as both a batsman and a bowler, also not playing more than 2 FCs a season and rarely playing any LA matches when he should be a FC regular and potentially playing some 50 over matches. In my saves he often averages around 10 or under with the bat in FCs & LAs, when in real life he averages 19.06 in 14 FCs including an unbeaten century (batting at 10) and a fifty, whilst averaging 12.57 with a best of 32* in 11 LA's. With the ball he either goes wicketless and not bowling many overs to bowling many overs but having an average of 100+ (both with economies of 3.90 to 4+) in FCs, whilst in real life he averages 31.39 with a best of 4-27 and a economy of 3.47 to go along with a strike rate of 54.3 in FCs, with an average of 32.07 and a economy of 3.28 last season, and a average of 27.29 and a economy of 3.83 the season before that showcasing his potential with the ball, and could develop into an all-rounder down the line.
