Make it a bit interesting though.

Each player has to pick someone from each nation, or from specific eras, or something.

The straight draft gets a bit dull imo

We did that last time

I can do that again if everyone wants to?

Up to you if you run it. I prefer to do a draft with a bit of a challenge. I think the standard drafts end up with all the teams being pretty similar.

Even just a couple of simple clauses like:

Every team must contain at least one player that fits the following clauses:

- Test debut before WW1
- Test debut after 2000
- Played under the test captaincy of one of the following: Steve Waugh, Clive Lloyd, Imran Khan, Peter May, Don Bradman, Warwick Armstrong or Douglas Jardine
- Dismissed by Fred Trueman
- Dismissed Sachin Tendulkar

I like those categories, but wouldn't the last two be a bit hard to research?
