5 uncapped players who might be released ahead of IPL 2020

The Indian Premier League has always served as a platform for the youngsters. It helps the uncapped and the aspiring players to earn a name and showcase their mettle in front of the established heroes. Many players who have represented India have been able to do so due to performances in the tournament.

However, it is very difficult to be a part of this cash-rich league, since the competition is pretty heavy. Many players come in use of their franchises, due to the availability of better players. These players do have potential, but not the form backing them. The franchises often sought to release these players in the next season.

As the IPL 2020 auctions come closer, let us take a look at a few such players from the previous season, whom the franchises would like to release this time around.

Here are 5 uncapped players who might be released ahead of IPL 2020

1. Shreevats Goswami

The wicketkeeper-batsman from Kolkata has featured in 9 seasons of the tournament, but never got enough opportunities to prove himself. He has been with Sunrisers Hyderabad since 2018, but only to warm the bench more often than not.

The southpaw did not play a single game last season. It is quite understandable, since Jonny Bairstow had sealed his spot in such a way, that even the likes of Wriddhaman Saha found it hard to get the due. And in the presence of these two keeper-batsmen, his fate isn’t likely to change in the next season as well.

Therefore, SRH might consider releasing him for the next season. Doing away with him will also free up the purse value of 1 crore, which they can use to buy an uncapped batsman who might solidify their middle order.
