Dan Lincoln, skipper, wicketkeeper and a former professional footballer with Reading FC, he has played for Glamorgan and Kent in the last two years in county cricket and brings experience to this young side.

Rich Edwards, right arm medium pacer and hard hitting lower order batter, joint second highest wicket taker for ENG XI scalping 19 wickets in 17 games. Returned figures of 1-1 vs NED XI on Tuesday. Took ENG XI to an unlikely victory in the first qualifier hitting a precious MAXIMO in only his second ball.

Saber Zakhil, fearsome hitter, currently lies fourth in the world for sixes hit this year in T20i with 19 in seven matches. Second highest scorer for BEL plundering 334 runs at a SR of 239 and deservedly bagged three player of the match awards. He can also chip in with crucial wickets in the middle overs and has picked up SEVEN wickets so far.

Aziz Mohammad, destructive right handed batter who has impressed in ECS tournaments in Spain last season and most recently in the Netherlands. Mustered 88 runs in six games at a sprightly SR of 282 in the opening week before being injured. The opener has looked in tremendous touch this week taking his total run tally to 404 runs in 15 games at a staggering strike rate of 274. Has also picked up NINE wickets.

Ali Raza, wicket keeper batter, very good behind the stumps and equally better in-front of it. Second highest scorer for BEL amassing 400 runs in 18 innings. Has been in good form racking up FOUR fifties to his name - joint most in ECC21.

Waqas Raja, right arm medium pacer, has been impressive this tournament picking up 12 wickets in eight matches and is the second highest wicket taker for BEL.

With the two highest run scorers in the tournament in Harrison Ward and captain Dan Lincoln, England will be favourites for the trophy. Belgium will be gunning for revenge after losing a last-ball thriller earlier in the day. There’s sure to be plenty of spice in this one with the magnificent Dream11 European Cricket Championship trophy up for grabs.
