He is the most unlikely of all those present in the list to go the whole season without a game. The tall and lanky fast bowler was quite impressive for the Orange Army last season, but his season was cut short due to an injury. This season SRH are likely to go in with an overseas combination of Warner, Williamson, Rashid Khan and Bairstow/Shakib for the first half of the season.

For the second half, they are likely to go in with a combination of Guptill, Williamson, Rashid and Nabi. It is impossible for them to remove Guptill as that would weaken them at the top. Rashid and Williamson will definitely be played in every single game. This leaves us with Nabi, who should get the preference as he is a very good middle-order batsman and can ball economical overs.

While Stanlake may or may not go game less throughout the season, it doesn't look like he will get more than a couple of games. However, the SRH management has always surprised us, and we never know what can happen.
