I know you rate Joyce but I'm not convinced.... His batting figures this year are worse than say, Rashids. By the way Rasids bowling figures this year are 35 wickets at 38, so lets not hype him too much too soon although Rasid should make the cut.

Joyce apart i wouldnt argue with any of your other picks.

As for Mahmood, the guy has potential, he has good pace and can reverse the ball. But, he has a lazy wrist action which can cause him to be very erractic. Although some quality time spent with AD should sort that and his mental approach out. In my opinion he should be considered because he is the only other genuinly quick bowler we have. As the senoir team against India have found out ,pace is important at the highest level
