Top Picks – Bowlers

Matt Parkinson:

SOB vs MNR Risky Captaincy Choices:

Tim David:

Andre Russell:

Rehan Ahmed:

The 18-year-old leggie is still searching for his first wicket despite featuring in three matches. He has conceded 48 runs in 48 balls so far and is likely to get dropped if remains without wickets.
