Experts kick-off Fantasy Women's WT20 competition

Today we officially launch our Fantasy Women's WT20 competition, so we thought it would be a bit of fun to ask some women's cricket "experts" to select their teams just to give you some ideas on players you might like to put into, or leave out of, your own team. We will be monitoring our experts' performance in their own league throughout the competition and will keep you up-to-date with how they are doing.

To enter your team into the WCB Fantasy Women's T20 competition simply click here - http://www.fairgroundtown.co.uk/cricket/index.php, read the rules and submit your team. You MUST get your team in before midnight on Saturday 22nd March (5 days from today).

There is no fee, no transfers, no updating. Once you have clicked submit you can just sit back and watch the points rack up. It's all just for fun, although we do have 3 pairs of tickets for the England v India Test Match to give away to the top three team owners (courtesy of www.wormsleycricket.co.uk).We will publish updates on this blog after every day's play.

Here are the choices of some of our experts (make of them what you will!). Who will be in your World XI?
