Profile:

A naturally talented cricketer, Mena impressed in his first-class debut with a good all round performance that earned him man-of-the-match honours. The perennial captain of The Yobs, Mena's carefree but accurate batting strokes complement his excellent fielding and his swinging deliveries. His smooth action allows Mena to last many overs and when on target, he produces arguably the best Super 4's cricket swing bowling. His batting has been undermined by a lack of genuine defence at the crease but he still boasts a top class average, something which can be attributed to natural quick reflexes and athleticism, which form the backbone of "Moina"'s cricketing success.
