Avoid Having These Players In Your Fantasy Sports Team
Abdullah Shafique
PAK | BAT
Considering his recent form, it's safe to drop him from your fantasy team, as he has scored just 74 runs in his last five innings.
Mohammad Rizwan
PAK | WK
After four test matches, he has a low average of 28 against Sri Lanka. Therefore, it is safe to consider other choices.
