On the fast tracks of Australia, the spinner delivered frugal spells to his team in the competition. With four wickets in just six games at a scintillating economy of 6.12, he played a crucial role in England’s success.

In the SA20 tournament, the England spinner is a part of Pretoria Capitals as he was sold at 2.4 million rands. In the upcoming tournament, he will strive to do justice with his sold price delivering some swashbuckling bowling displays. The franchise will also rely on him to lead the spin attack with his vast experience and incredible skills.&nbsp;

To strengthen the bowling unit of the Capitals, the veteran will be supported by experienced Wayne Parnell and Anrich Nortje. Looking at the leggie’s current form, it could be said that he might be too hot to handle for batters.

<a href="https://www.crictracker.com/cricket-news/csk-will-be-looking-for-sam-curran-manish-pandey-in-ipl-mini-auction-robin-uthappa/" title="Sam Curran" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Sam Curran</a> had an amazing World Cup last month as he became the Player of the Tournament clinching 13 wickets in six games at a spectacular economy of 6.52.

This year, in August, the English all-rounder was signed by the franchise along with Kagiso Rabada, Dewald Brevis, Rashid Khan and Liam Livingstone. Playing for the team, his responsibility will be to vitalise the team with his all-round skills. The 24-year-old was in amazing form with the ball in the marquee event and in this tournament too, he will look to wreak havoc on batters on South African pitches which are known for favouring fast bowlers.

Considering his recent figures and bowling capability, it could be speculated that he might demolish the batting unit of other teams on the rapid South African tracks. Talking about his batting, batting at the lower order, he is able to chip in, delivering some valuable runs to his team.

3. Harry Brook (Joburg Super Kings)

Going through his sensational innings played in recent games, his skipper in the league will expect him to do the same for this team too.
