WOR vs NOT Risky Captaincy Choices:
Steven Mullaney is the captain of the Notts team and has a lot of experience. However, the problem with him is the kind of roles that he plays in this side. There are chances that he might not get to bat on some days.
Player you should avoid:
Daryll Mitchell is another solid all-rounder, but in this contest you should include Samit Patel and others and avoid him.
