Top picks:
Awais Zia: He is looking in very good form and has already scored 2 half-centuries. The important thing is that he is playing according to the pitch conditions. The last few innings are an indication that this season is going to be big for him.
M Hafeez: He is a good all-rounder. He will open the innings and is expected to bowl his full quota of over. He will be a good choice for captaincy in small leagues.
Wahab Riaz: He is a power hitter and a wicket-taking bowler. Everyone knows about his wicket-taking ability but he showed his batting power in the league phase by playing 3 quick cameos.
Imam Ul Haq: He is a consistent performer of the team. His main role is to anchor the innings. He scored 2 half centuries in league phase.
Amad Butt: He is a power hitter and is consistently picking wickets for the team. So he can be a player to watch out for.
Captaincy options:
Small leagues: M Hafeez, Wahab Riaz, Awais Zia
Grand leagues: Imam UL Haq, S Malik, H Sohail, Amad Butt (small leagues captain can be used in grand leagues, bowlers are always good captain for grand leagues)
