Best XI that never played IPL

11. Naveen-ul-Haq

The appearance of a 2^nd Afghanistan player in the list in the form of Naveen ul Haq shows how far the country has come in the game as a few years ago, no one would have thought that players from this country would play in the biggest cricketing league. Naveen is a talented fast bowler who has made a name for himself in a few other leagues.

With 58 wickets in 53 games at a strike rate of 18.9, he has shown that he is no mug and his economy rate of 7.45 is impressive. The 21-year-old is pretty effective during the death overs as well. He has also picked up 13 wickets in 8 T20Is at a strike rate of 12.9 while conceding at less than 7 per over.

Overseas fast bowlers are always in demand during IPL auctions and with a year left for him to further improve his skills, it shouldn’t be a surprise if he ends up attracting a few bids from franchises.
