Sam Billings will be the leading man for the team and he will be dependent on Will Jacks to score big runs. Jordan Cox and Heinrich Klaasen can be the game-changers for the team.
Klaasen is coming to play the tournament straight from the Major League Cricket and he has the momentum with him to play big shots. Sunil Narine will be given the responsibility to pick wickets with his variations with Adam Zampa as his right-hand man.
All the eyes will be on Sam Curran. The all-rounder will be expected to provide a much-needed balance to the team.
