Grand League Punts
> Towhid Hridoy has had a fantastic start to is ODI career, averaging nearly 50, and he's acclimated to Sri Lankan conditions, having played in the LPL, representing Jaffna Kings. He could be a wildcard pick for vice-captain. Or maybe even captain, if you're feeling lucky.
> Shakib Al Hasan might not be in the best of form with the bat in hand, but in his last 11 bowling innings, he's taken 20 wickets. In the last ODI he played, he bowled 10 overs and conceded just 13 runs while taking a wicket. Considering he can pop with the bat anytime, it's probably a pretty wise move to gamble on him as either captain or vice-captain.
