We have the three bowlers come into our side from Kerala with Andhra always prone to collapsing, a vulnerable and paper thin batting unit which has found it difficult to sustain pressure and strive in its bid to out bat the opposition. Kerala’s leading wicket taker with 14 wickets till now, KM Asif becomes the first pick for us along with Akshay Chandran and Sandeep Warrier.
From the opposing side meanwhile we have gotten in only the one player in the form of Shoaib MD Khan.
