expert advice
Liam Livingstone can bowl both off-spin and leg-spin, which gives him a pretty special combination of ball-handling abilities. Due to his capacity to induce hitters to target the longer side of the boundaries, he is most likely to be utilised as the fifth or sixth bowling option. Livingstone might be a game-changing addition to your ENG vs AUS Dream11 prediction side because he is also playing well with the bat.
