I thought Cade Carmichael and Morgan Topping had improved from their West Indies tour, but have not made anything like the weight of runs to challenge for senior places. Possibly Chris de Freitas of Balbriggan, a left hander could come into contention for a Wolves place. His team mate Sam Willemse looks promising too, as a pace bowler.
Maybe the fielding contributions are worth a mention, and in this respect the slip fielding of Moor and Doheny was impressive, at least what I saw on the videos..
I was surprised by how little Rock (Arkansas🤣) kept, as his most likely way into the senior team is as a powerful left handed keeper either as a direct replacement for Tucker (or allowing Tucker to play as purely a batsman), if he is a more natural keeper than Tucker, didn't get the opportunity to show it
Growing up, there was always a sense that Rock was a better pure 'keeper, but teams in T20 don't really value that as much. Also, I suspect Tucker's standing as vice-captain is significantly tied to being behind the stumps and setting fields etc. I doubt they'd take that away from him and keep him in the team. If he's playing, he's keeping, and if he's not keeping it will because he's been dropped. If Tucker is left out, it will be because of his lack of T20 runs, not his 'keeping.
