Mohammad Rizwan

Rizwan, sacked as T20 skipper has a point to prove. He struggled in the Champions Trophy and will be eager to make things right.

Nathan Smith

Nathan Smith has a role to play and he has done the role well in the past. He is a handy batter down the order and chips in with some quiet overs pretty well too.
