KEY PLAYERS
Syed Shafaat Ali
Spanish international, Syed Shafaat Ali, club captain. Left-arm pacer, leading wicket taker, fearsome left-hand batsman and top six hitter, who starred for champions Pak I Care in their triumph at ECS Barcelona in November and at Barcelona Bash.
Syed Gulraiz Hussain caught the eye with a four wicket burst during the first week of action in Spain. The hard-hitter can bat anywhere in top order and can score at a good lick.
Taqqi Ul Mazhar
Prolific six hitter, who hit 14 sixes in five games for Joves Units at his first ECS. Will seriously bolster the Barna Royals batting and is set to keep wicket as well.
Sufyan Anwar
Young seamer caught the eye with a four wicket haul against group leaders Pak I Care in the group stages on week three.
