Expert view
"South Africa born Barresi is one of the fresh picks. He grabbed his chance during last summer and played a key role in the historic win against Bangladesh (Holland qualified for the LG ranking table after this match) in the summer. Handy middle order batsman and has got great hands" - Jeroen Smits, former Netherlands captain
