Along with the speed and expertise of Dominic Drakes, the left-arm fast bowler who will spearhead the Capitals' bowling attack, Barbados' Kadeem Alleyne will support him. The bowling combination is enhanced by UAE's Zeeshan Naseer, Canadian left-arm quick Kaleem Sana-Ur-Rahman, and Pakistani pacer Farhan Khan.
