With the way in which Head has been hanging the ball, make him your No. 1 precedence for spherical 8 if he’s named within the squad for his or her conflict with the Renegades – three days after the Sydney Test is scheduled to complete. Head is available in at a reduced $125k after barely taking part in final 12 months and with Rashid Khan gone, he ought to be requested to roll the arm over.
Alex Carey
If Head in case your No. 1 precedence, make Carey No.2. Fresh off his maiden Test century, Carey will probably open the batting for the Strikers as he has executed previously and take the gloves.

MELBOURNE STARS
Beau Webster
A No. 3 bat who bowls is KFC SuperCoach gold and whereas he was greater than doubled his beginning worth, he shapes as a dependable possibility for the Stars’ double.

Webster may also be picked as a bowler after his spherical 5 DPP change which is an added bonus.
Luke Wood
Wood will shoulder additional duty within the Stars bowling assault with Trent Boult gone, however he has outshone Boult within the bowling stakes anyway. The English worldwide has gone giant with scores of 130 from a five-wicket haul and 101 within the Stars’ spherical 1 double. Gets the large overs and persistently takes wickets.
