And we all know the latter will be selected. I like his technique but Welch (both actually) have natural scoring ability and that self belief. I always feel that Kaitano lacks the confidence to express himself
I would say something that might put Welch over the line is the fact he may have faced a few of the irish bowlers before in county.

No room for Gwandi and Campbell..
Campbell is ineffective as a bowler
Newman gives us more as a batter than Gwandu maling him a better all roundered player..
Gumbie has been out of form for a while ..
This is actually what my lineup would look like. Masekesa can bat a bit too. Nyauchi or Newman is where I'm not sure. I also feel like Campbell, Gwandu and Newman will get games in the other formats as well so that might be why they might miss out here
