Team & Management Meeting:
@AFM

An important meeting was held in the premises of Diamond Ground, the outcomes of the meeting are as follows:

After a long and detailed meeting with Head Coaches, Chief Selector, Director of Cricket, Club Chairman, CEO, Chief Tactician and other respected members of the management, it was decided that #MisbahUnited will change the badge of our jerseys, the badge which has a picture of fake lion will be replaced the pic of real lion, picture of the badge has been attached for your reference.

Media Department
#I̶s̶l̶a̶m̶a̶b̶a̶d̶MisbahUnited

[AFM]

Beautiful new logo

[AFM]

After a very intense discussion meeting, the team management have unanimously agreed upon the contract strategy.

Head Coach Misbah Ul-Haq, alongside Chief Selector Misbah Ul-Haq and Data Analyst Misbah Ul-Haq, have come to the decision that the 2 platinum contracts will be awarded to two batsmen in order to build a frightening opening partnership.

The next 4 strongest contracts will be awarded to the bowlers to build a strong and unified bowling attack.

Thoughts @MenInG @TrentDevil @Batman?

[AFM]

@Batman

Please edit the OP with the new logo

[TrentDevil]

So far our team looks like this:

@AFM - Kaptaan Saab - Left Arm Phast

@MenInGreen - Right Arm Medium Phast

Me - TrentDevil - Right Arm Phast

@Batman - Right Arm Leg-Spinner - All rounder

1 All rounder (Spinner)
2 Pacers (LF and RF)
1 Medium Fast(Right Arm)

Bowling looks decent, Kaptaan Saab, we should go for batting prodigies now, i would suggest 2 batsmen and one batting AR

Thoughts @MenInG @TrentDevil @Batman?

So this is what i feel like it should be

Each Captain will issue:
2 Platinum - Both should be batsmen
3 Diamond - All 3 should be bowlers
4 Gold contract to players - 1 batsman and 1 bowler, 2 All- Rounders

2 international platinum players should be 1 batsman and 1 bowler

[AFM]

Press Conference from Club Chairman Misbah Ul-Haq:

"Me and the Director of Cricket, Misbah Ul-Haq, would like to announce that @TrentDevil has been appointed the vice captain of Islamabad United. As this club believes in the philosophy of multiple duties, I am pleased to also announce he will be also be Assistant Physio under Senior Physio, Misbah Ul-Haq."

I feel privileged that Head Coach Misbah Ul-Haq, alongside Chief Selector Misbah Ul-Haq, Data Analyst Misbah Ul-Haq, CEO and Director Cricket Operations Misbah Ul-Haq have made the decision to appoint me as the Vice-Captain, I feel that the team is in safe hands of Kaptaan Saab and the entire management are working hard to bring the cup home. I am also thrilled on being appointed as Junior Physio, i hope to learn a lot from our Senior Physio Mr. Misbah-ul-Haq in this field as well

[Batman]

So this is what i feel like it should be

Each Captain will issue:
2 Platinum - Both should be batsmen
3 Diamond - All 3 should be bowlers
4 Gold contract to players - 1 batsman and 1 bowler, 2 All- Rounders

With the PPCL draft underway, the competition seems to have well and truly started. A photograph has been leaked of the Captain, @AFM, and Vice Captain, @TrentDevil, of United enjoying a chat after an intense training session. Sources state that discussions of the next pick were discussed and a WK might be joining the squad soon. This truly seems to be an invincible squad. Many fans in particular cannot wait to see this pair in action soon.

O Twadi, Kaptaan Saab, this is a million dollar pic, opposition teams are already under the pump, all of them are picking already drafted players, this pic is further gonna increase the fear amongst the opposition.

I'm btw specialist Leg spinner not All rounder.

There seems to have been an adminsitrative error here. An independent committee, headed by esteemed Pakistan ex-captain Misbah Ul-Haq, will look into the matter.

Also, in light of these revelations, @Batman has been upgraded to a Diamond contract. Commiserations to @MenInG, who will now be offered a Gold contract instead.

Islamabad United
Round 1: MenInG, TrentDevil, Batman
Round 2: kingusama92, Greenstorm, Major
Round 3: raashidkhan89079, cric_craze
Round 4: Ismailtoca

So we have got 10 players as of now

[TrentDevil]

Think we should have @Ismailtoca bro as an all rounder, That will give us four bowlers, 4 batsmen and 2 All-rounders.

Ismail's Role isn't mentioned in the signup thread

[TrentDevil]

@AFM
Kaptaan saab, we have got the last pick in the internationals draft.

Make sure to pick a WK, who will automatically serve as batsman as well. And select another platinum pick as bowler.

We have got 3 regular picks as well, we can either go with a batsman, bowler and Allrounder each. Or we can have a batting AR, a bowling AR and an alternate WK as well, as you wish, Sir Misbah has complete faith on you.

Message:
Sir Misbah-ul-Haq is currently on a short vacation to Carribbean but will be available over phone if you need any help with the picks.

"I would like to personally congratulate everyone on a successful drafting process. I am very pleased to see that United is the first team to have fully submitted the squad details to the PPCL authorities. My scouts inform me that the other teams are still haphazardly trying to formulate team balance and contracts at the last minute.

The squad promises to be a ferocious one. We have a very powerful batting order and a very ferocious, skilled and varied bowling attack. We have enough depth in this squad to overcome any opposition and any conditions.

And lastly, I would like a word on the Team Management and Support Staff. As Club Chairman, I am very pleased with individuals who filled those coveted positions. We have scouted world class experts for each field.

Now, let's bring it home boys!"

Thanks for this, i just messed up the table

[kingusama92]

My suggestion:

Bounce - High
Seam - Avg
Swing - Good
Spin - Avg
Deterioration - Low

Sounds like a great pitch. Batting at home should be fun.

[Greenstorm]

Thanks again cap for your confidence. Platinum contract makes me feel honoured (and rich ).

[Greenstorm]

Any thoughts on what the home ground characteristic should be?

Will these characteristics remain the same throughout the tournament or we can change them before every home match ?

[Greenstorm]

It's a given, for Islu Bowlers.
And I was under the impression as if you were a Batsman

You can't seem to distinguish between a batsman and a bowler . Let me help,

Batsman


Bowler

[maddgenius]

Mr. Misbah-ul-Haq will fill up for any role if required

Maalish waala too?

Zalmi would like to hire his maalish services for a day

[AFM]

Reuters:

With the draft process of the PPCL over, teams are now finalising final squads and contracts for the upcoming season. While it seems many of the teams are now dealing with these administrative issues, Islamabad United seem to the only settled squad. They are the only the team who have been seen to be in full training while the others are behind locked doors scrambling to put together the squads.

[AFM]

Will these characteristics remain the same throughout the tournament or we can change them before every home match ?

I think they will remain the same. Should be a good home pitch for the batsmen and genuine pacers

[TrentDevil]

Maalish waala too?

Zalmi would like to hire his maalish services for a day

I am sorry Misbah-ul-Haq's services are limited to Islamabad United only.

Since you have fired Kamran Akmal, initially after picking him, you can have him for the job.

[Rayyman]

Can’t wait to go up against my old team.

Eagerly waiting to give a phainta to @Major’s pies and the over-the-hill @MenInG especially.

Congrats lads on winning the warm up game today. Sir Misbah is pleased with the performance.


El Capitano @AFM we can ask for a trial match, who do you think we should play with?

[AFM]

Always up for giving the Qalandars a beating

The allrounders weren't impressive in the Sultan match. How about we try a 6 batsmen + 5 bowler line up?

I'm thinking:

1) Kingusama92
2 )GreenRoars
3) Luke Ronchi (WK)
4) Raashidkhan89079
5) Colin Munro
6) Phil Salt
7) Zafar Gozar
8) AFM (C)
9) Batman
10) @TrentDevil (VC)
11) MenInG

And we play on a Road. We have a bowling attack to take the pitch out of the equation
