1. Dominic Drakes

Dominic Drakes is one of the most exciting prospects in West Indies cricket. The 24-year-old proved his mettle in the 2021 season of the Caribbean Premier League and took 16 scalps in 11 games. Also, he smashed 102 runs at a strike rate of 161.90.

The left-arm pacer can tonk the ball at the fag end of the innings, it is quite a rare skill set and Gujarat Titans decided to include Drakes in the side for the 15th edition of the IPL. However, the team management failed to find a place for the youngster in the playing XI.

Apart from the Caribbean youngster, the pace-attack of Hardik Pandya & co. also comprised Lockie Ferguson and Alzarri Joseph. Both seamers were higher in the pecking order and Drakes had to warm the bench for the whole season.

Moreover, Yash Dayal’s brilliant outings meant the left-arm pacer’s role is also taken care of. Thus, GT could look to release the West Indian all-rounder going forward and free up an overseas slot which could used to fill up a void in the squad.
