Pre 2000 Franchise T20 Draft

So I got this interesting idea for a draft whilst bored in class. Pick a franchise T20 team from players who retired before the year 2000. Your first pick would determine the country you'll mainly from for the rest of the draft. 12 rounds. 3 Overseas Players allowed per pick. Pick guys you think would be most suited to a T20 set-up. No Bradman and subsequent round orders reversed as always.

Suggestions welcomed. I may need help running this lest I trundler up in grand fashion.

My initial idea was pre-1970. Thought 1 FC match should be the minimum requirement.

how about we make this pre-2005 like.

There are players like Waugh who didn't play T20Is at all.

And there's more to this.

Nah but I'm pretty sure other guys did. Makes it confusing. 2000 seems like a good cutoff as the first T20 competition started in the early 2000s.

How about not playing T20s as the restriction you impose, instead of the pre 2000s rule.

I'll definitely play this one, could be a fun look at some older era players.

The basic idea was picking players who never played in T20s.

I'll be happy to make it pre-2005 but the player mustn't have played any T20s.

I also think it would be simpler to include only players who did not play (official) T20s. Retirement dates can be a matter of interpretation (is FC vs international)

This makes sense. Players who never played T20 Internationals can be picked.

Alright. No T20s at domestic or international level and minimum one FC match is the requirement now.
