Jamaica Tallahwahs will expect a good show by Brandon King. The destructive batter was in fine form in the T20I series against India and ended the series as the second-leading run-scorer with 173 runs.
Sikandar Raza will be an important player for the St. Lucia Kings. Raza brings a lot of value to the team. He is a top batter and a very potent spinner who is very tough to get away in T20s.
Alzarri Joseph is a wicket-taker. He is fast and bowls great lines and lengths. On his day, he can rattle the best teams. He will be a key bowler for St. Lucia Kings.
Faf du Plessis had a quiet season in Major League cricket. However, it was rare to see Faf go through a season without making an impact. He will be looking to get a good start to the new tournament.
Imad Wasim will be a vital player for the defending champions. The all-rounder adds depth to the batting lineup and bowls his full quota of overs as well.
