San Francisco Unicorns Full Squad 2023
Featuring star players like Aaron Finch and Marcus Stoinis, the San Francisco Unicorns’ squad for 2023 is packed with talent. With a combination of experience and young potential, the team has assembled a well-rounded group of players. In terms of batting, Aaron Finch is known for his explosive power-hitting, while Marcus Stoinis brings stability to the top order. They are supported by the likes of Corey Anderson and Liam Plunkett, adding depth to the lineup.
On the bowling front, the Unicorns have a formidable attack. Lungi Ndigi, known for his pace and swing, poses a threat to any batting lineup. Liam Plunkett and Corey Anderson provide variation with their medium-pace and can be effective in the middle overs. The team also has promising talents like Tajinder Singh and Chaitanya Bishnoi, who can contribute with both bat and ball.
While the squad looks strong overall, there are a few areas that could be considered weaknesses. The Unicorns might lack a bit of experience in the spin department, which could be a concern on certain pitches. Additionally, the team’s middle-order batting might need to step up and provide stability in case of early wickets.

Aaron Finch, Marcus Stoinis, Lungi Ndigi, Corey Anderson, Liam Plunkett, Tajinder Singh, Chaitanya Bishnoi, Carmi Le Roux, Brody Couch, David White, Smit Patel, Sanjay Krishnamurthi
