The 17-year-old Scotland Under-19 captain Angus Guy may be in for a surprise if Scotland plump for him as the third-choice opener due to Scotland's lack of back-up openers at the moment. Even if this doesn't come to be, a middle-order spot isn't completely out of the question either as Guy is a very flexible batsman.

His middle-order performances in the 2020 Under-19 Cricket World Cup have been steady in the face of adversity with his team's underdog status, but opening in T20s could be the perfect remedy to break the shackles for the youngster.


#14 Colin Ingram

No, we didn't go with AB de Villiers. We've picked another veteran, Colin Ingram. Would AB's return really be a shock? We don't think so. Mr. 360's return would be much-hyped and unsurprising, but a post-Kolpak return for this T20 journeyman would certainly create a few extra headlines.

Ingram would certainly not look out of place in the South Africa T20 side and his experience and style would suit, benefit and compliment some of the other middle-order bashers like du Plessis, Miller and Van der Dussen. You might be able to soon add AB de Villiers to that lIst and maybe even Rilee Rossouw, although whisper it quietly.
