Italicized players haven't signed in, I believe. So ERUB with some shopping to do before this.

If you get either to sign in, make sure they sign for Blues as well.

The best way to do it would be to sign the first 6 unsigned players who become available for T20. It'd be a stop-gap solution, most likely, with more long term team assignments considered after the CL.

Also confirm that Murphy is on board.

Can confirm that Murphy is back.

In which thread can I find these players and how should I approach them?

Check out the T20 Availability thread and look at the unsigned players. Will have to monitor the strength of ERUB's reinforcements though, to avoid things getting unbalanced.

Aside from the CW teams, here are other CW players involved in the Champions League:

RJ Dauth (Somerset)
M Corrin - has been invited by Sussex, but needs to respond
MD Luff (Kolkata)
XPA Rose (Deccan)

If anyone wants to manage a side, let me know.

Fixed.

Just realized that Smith has qualified for this with 3 teams. :p In light of that, and his undoubted desire to rep ERUB ahead of all, Queensland are approaching Sean Fuller as a replacement.

Also, Greg Thomas will represent Victoria.

Exciting times

EDIT- WRRW provisionally release Nel and Hauritz and keep their cheapest player, Pollard. Can we start thinking of new players to sign? As I have some ideas.

We can discuss it in the WRRW thread. Whatever players are signed for the purposes of the CL will not necessarily carry on into the next CW Cup though. I presume that's okay?

This goes for ERUB too.

With Pollard signed on to rep WRRW at the Champions Trophy, Trinidad and Tobago approach David Kearsley to replace him.
