General Thoughts: 

The team looks like has got all bases covered in the first 11. But they do not have the best backup. Varun Aaron can be used to replace Shami in case of injury. But the presence of all-rounders gives them a good dynamic. They should have gone for an Indian batter. Jason Roy has pulled out. Matthew Wade will have to open in that case. Wriddhiman Saha has to bat number 3.
