Wes Agar (Price 8):- Agar has won MOTM twice in the last 4 games and he is a very good wicket-taking form and should be utilized in this form.

Jonathan Cook (Price 8):- Cook is a very intelligent bowler and he showed that by taking 4 wickets in the last game. On this track, he can take wickets for his team.
