– Colin de Grandhomme might be a good captain choice as he’s expected to bat at three down and bowl a couple of overs too.
– Nick Kelly can be a decent GL pick considering his good numbers at venue and H2H innings.
– Dropped Hamish Rutherford as he doesn’t have satisfactory numbers against the opponent.
– Didn’t took Michael Rippon as he might not take more than a wicket in two consecutive innings.
– Can take Jake Gibson at the place of Matthew Bacon especially while bowling in second innings.
– Joe Walker might come handy with the bat and expected to bowl 2-3 overs too.
