CC2011 features more permanent captains who remain captain until sacked (poor form won't lose them their slot in the team, like in real life).

I have allocated each country their captains for Tests, ODI and T20s and wanted to be sure I'd got it right.

If anybody has the time could they confirm for one or more countries the current official captains? This will mean I can concentrate on coding the game, rather than spending hours on CricInfo!

Here is a start (the obvious ones):

Aus

Test: Ponting
ODI/T20: Clarke (?)

Eng

Test/ODI: Strauss
T20: Collingwood

Pak

Test: Butt
ODI/T20 (?) Afridi still? or Butt

SA

Tests/ODI/T20: Smith

WI

Tests/ODI/T20: Gayle

... etc.. thanks guys!

Had a look on Wiki so might not be completely accurate

Aus:
Ponting (Test/ODI)
M.Clarke (T20)

Bangladesh:
Mortaza

Eng:
Strauss (Test/ODI)
Collingwood (T20)

India:
Dhoni

N.Zealand:
Vettori

Pakistan:
Butt (Test)
Afridi (ODI/T20)

S.Africa:
Smith

Sri Lanka:
Sangakkara

W.Indies:
Gayle

Zimbabwe:
Chigumbura

I assume this could change when games are played so someone may be able to give more up to date info. The page also has all the associate captains, not sure if you want them

Will this be done for counties as well? Will you need that info? For example save hussey is notts t20 captain. While read is the club captain.

Yes come to think of it I will need the data for associate nations and domestic sides, although the game is written in such a way so that the lack of any one piece of data isn't actually a problem.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cricket_ca ... t_Captains is the page I used Oli, lists all international captains. Again can't trust it 100% but its a good starting point

Thanks joe!

Johan Botha is the captain of SA T20!!! lol

Thanks for the heads-up Matty

glad 2 help
