England
Jonny Bairstow, Tom Banton, James Vince, Eoin Morgan, Joe Denly, Sam Billings, Sam Curran, Tom Curran, Adil Rashid, Chris Jordan, Matt Parkinson
Top Picks:
New Zealand
Tim Siefert is a good pick from New Zealand, who will not only fill the wicket keepers section but also has good prospect of giving points as a batsman. Openers Colin Munro and Martin Guptill can give good returns, but it is important to keep their price tag in mind. And the kind of batsman Ross Taylor is, he should be one of the first choices in any fantasy team. Lockie Ferguson is a dependable bowler to pick from the New Zealand team.
England
Captain Eoin Morgan’s hard hitting capabilities make a great choice for captain along with opening batsman Jonny Bairstow. Among bowlers, Adil Rashid can bowl dot balls and pick wickets in the middle overs, giving good returns.
