New South Wales - Key Players
1) Chris Tremain
One of the biggest advantages for New South Wales is their bowling attack which will be led by Chris Tremain. Chris Tremain was the leading wicket-taker for the team in the previous edition of the tournament. If given a chance, Tremain can prove to be a lethal weapon again for New South Wales.
