Carlos Brathwaite
The big West Indian is one of the better all-rounders in the shortest format of the game. He can contribute with both bat and ball, and provides some much-needed hitting power in the lower middle order.
Brathwaite has 96 runs to his name in 9 matches at an average of 48 and a strike rate of 115.66 in 2017.
Brathwaite has had a decent year with the ball as well, picking up 12 wickets in 9 matches at an average of 14.5, an economy of 6.82 and a strike rate of 12.7. His best figures this year came against England at Chester-le-Street on the 16th of September, where he picked up 3 wickets, giving away 20 runs. These are also his career-best figures in T20 Internationals so far.
Brathwaite will bat at number 7 in this side.
