Avoid Having These Players In Your Fantasy Sports Team
Joe Weatherley
HAM | BAT
Joe Weatherley has failed to make big scores so far this season and with plenty of better options in the batters section he can be left out.
Shane Snater
ESS | BOWL
Shane Snater has not been able to make an impact in this edition and has scalped two wickets in previous three matches. Hence avoid him for this match.
