Player Picks
Jos Buttler ENG | WK
This will be the first ICC tournament for Jos Buttler as the full-time captain of the English team. He sustained an injury during The Hundred tournament and missed a few matches. He made his long-awaited return against Australia this month and scored two half-centuries in the three-match series.
Alex Hales ENG | BAT
He made his return to the English side after getting sidelined for more than two years. In nine matches since his return, Hales has made 218 runs at an average of 24.22 and a strike rate of 143.42 including two half-centuries.
Dawid Malan ENG | BAT
He has made two half-centuries in his last five outings for England. He has made 453 runs in 15 T20Is this year at an average of 34.84 and is the second-highest run-scorer for the team.
Ben Stokes ENG | ALL
He will be featuring in the first ICC tournament since the ODI World Cup of 2019. Stokes missed the last edition of the tournament and his presence will help the team a lot. He scored 36 runs off 18 deliveries and picked a wicket as well in the warm-up game against Pakistan.
Rashid Khan AFG | BOWL
He is ranked second in the ICC Rankings for bowlers with 696 rating points. He has taken 15 wickets this year in 15 T20I matches at an average of 24.33.
Rahmanullah Gurbaz AFG | WK
In six matches of the Caribbean Premier League 2022, Rahmanullah Gurbaz made 157 runs at an average of 26.16 and scored two half-centuries. He was one of the best performers for Afghanistan in the Asia Cup as well.
Mohammad Nabi AFG | ALL

Liam Livingstone ENG | ALL

Avoid Having These Players In Your Fantasy Sports Team
Harry Brook
ENG | BAT
He made 238 runs in the seven-match T20I series against Pakistan at an average of 79.33 and finished as the leading run-scorer for the team. However, with Liam Livingstone back in the squad, Brook might have to sit out in this game.
Usman Ghani
AFG | BAT
The 25-year-old batter has scored 154 runs in seven matches this year at a strike rate of 104.76. There are some other batters on both sides who have been in great form recently, hence, you can avoid picking him in your fantasy team for this game.
