Substitutes can't keep wickets AFAIK. You'd have to pick someone from the XI.
And yeah, among them if one had to be picked, I'd choose Charles.

I have no idea about baseball, is that right? Anyway get what you mean, but I guess otherwise it would be too convenient you know? Like wicketkeeper is something teams take into serious consideration while picking the XI. If keepers were allowed to be substituted, then it's easy - like they'd play a specialist batsman and he could just pretend to be ill and bam, you have a specialist keeper.
