BPL 2019-20: Team-wise trump card for this edition of the tournament

Every T20 team usually has several bases to cover while picking the squad or the eleven and it is no different in the BPL. Picking the correct squad includes finding the right balance, having a good mixture of youth and experience, picking the power-hitters and the all-rounders, and selecting the right set of batsmen and the bowlers.

Apart from these players, every side picks a player who they believe would be the trump card for them. These players are absolute game-changers and have the capability of turning the game upside down. While these players might not be amongst the most consistent performers, they can surely win a few matches on their own.

Here is the trump card for each of the seven BPL teams:

1. Sherfane Rutherford – Sylhet Thunder

He could still be in the early days of his career but Sherfane Rutherford is surely making waves all across the globe with his talent. At just 21 years of age, the West Indies cricketer managed to make his international debut for the West Indies in T20I cricket. While he hasn’t made an impact yet at the highest level, his numbers in domestic cricket and other T20 tournaments all across the world have been quite impressive.

In BPL 2019-20, Sherfane Rutherford will be making his debut in the league. Thus far in his career, the left-hander has played in a total of 30 T20 games. He scored 379 runs at a strike rate of 135 and is a handy bowling option.

In this upcoming edition of the BPL, Sherfane could get quite a few opportunities considering the composition of the squad. However, he will have to take this chance with both his hands and should look to play responsible cricket. His performances in this league could potentially shape his career and give him a few more breaks at a young age.
