Pre-season changes in squad

As the start of season approaching, there have been a couple of changes in the senior squad. Six players left so far, including young spinner Oshadee (Sold to Cheltenham CC for $1,000), freshly promoted batsmen Stuart Gilkes and Blake Chapman (both sold to Cute Puppies for $4,000 & $18,000 respectively), two experienced
batsmen, Oliver Owens (Sold to Cocolocomotion for $134,008) and Sadun Madurasinghe (Bristolshire snatched him for a neat $222,672), and finally the bowler star of last season's, Bandula Rifard (Sold to Gonvillus Daredevils for $192,000). Two more players are expected to leave, Edward Dulling and the 20-year old Arjun Saravanan. With 3 key players left, we got a nice stash of money at hand, also a hefty ~$30,000 a week saved on salaries. As a replacement, two players joined the club, Isaiah Farrell, a 25-year old medium pacer, with healthy batting skills and good technique. Also a batsmen joined our ranks, 22-year old south african Andries van Onselen. He has strong batting and technique skills with Boundary Hitter talent. He is a very promising player, who can have a long term future in our squad. Manager verdi planning to add one more talented young player to the squad, if he find someone for a reasonable price.
To summarize, the squad seems to be a bit weaker this season. Our divisions got a bit weeker as well, so the squad should be able to stay up in the 3rd division. The positive side is, overall wages are a lot lower this season, this year is for consolidation in every aspect. Youth squad most likely not getting any signings this season, we will try to rely on our academy. Manager verdi constantly monitors the transfer market though, so
if a player who could boost the squad, and have a decent price pops up, he will have the cash at hand to sign him.
