Prab has hit 18 sixes and 14 fours in 12 matches, with a top score of 58. While not as prolific as Arya, Prab’s ability to contribute with both bat and in the field (6 career catches) makes them a valuable asset.

Nathan Weekes – Bowler

Nathan Weekes is CFS’s leading wicket-taker, with a career-best of 3 wickets in a match and a highest bowling fantasy score of 88. Averaging 19 bowling fantasy points per match, Nathan’s impact is primarily with the ball, though their fielding and batting contributions are limited.
