9. Mthiwekhaya Nabe
10. Alfred Mothoa
11. Stefan Tait/Nealan van Heerden
– Wihan Lubbe looks safest captain choice considering his top order batting and full overs with bowl.
– Can go with anyone from Jacques Snyman or JJ Smuts as VC considering their All-rounder roles.
– Expecting atleast decent knocks from Pite van Biljon and Diego Rosier as they’re due for one this season.
– Didn’t took Tristan Stubbs as he might not go big in two consecutive innings.
– Taking punt on Migael Pretorius who’s bowling full four overs and batting at 4-5 down.
– Take anyone from Stefan Tait or Nealan van Heerden whoever gets to bowl in first innings.

9. Mthiwekhaya Nabe
10. Stefan Tait
11. Alfred Mothoa
– Taking risk on Kruger as VC since he’s expected to open the innings and bowl atleast 2-3 overs.
– Lesiba Ngoepe can be picked at the place of Diego Rosier especially while chasing.
– Farhaan Behardien will be another good pick at the place of Pite van Biljon while batting first.
– Must try Migael Pretorius as C/VC in 10-20-339 members league especially while bowling in first innings.

11. Nealan van Heerden
– Alfred Mothoa ans Tait looks open C/VC choices as they’re bowling in death overs and due to take wickets in this season.
– Mangaliso Mosehle and Qeshile might be decent GL picks especially if a couple of top order batters from respective teams depart early.
