Women's Fantasy WT20 Competition

Finally all the squads for the WWT20 have been announced. The full list is set out below. This means we are nearly ready to launch our Fantasy WWT20 competition website. Syd Egan has put the site together for us and it is simplicity itself - you just choose your team of 11 players online and stick with them throughout the tournament - no transfers, no updating, just watch your points rack up and see where you get to in the league table. We will publish an updated league table after every day's play.

Courtesy of the very nice people at Wormsley (http://www.wormsleycricket.co.uk/) we have three pairs of tickets for a day at the England v India Test Match (13th -16th August) to give away to our final top three. If you have yet to enjoy the Wormsley Experience I really cannot recommend it highly enough. Great setting, great cricket, great weather (fingers crossed) - just as cricket should be!

We've also enticed a few "experts" from all around the world to pick their fantasy teams for the tournament just for fun (including Syd and I of course), and we shall be monitoring how they all get on (especially if Syd and I are winning!).

Anyway here are the rules - get thinking. Keep watching as the site should go live later this week :-
