Top 5 unsold players who can be selected as backup for injury replacement
During the upcoming IPL season, the franchises might hire some illustrious players to replace their injured stalwarts.
1. Josh Hazlewood
Josh Hazlewood failed to find his name on Royal Challengers Bangalore’s retention list. Following this move, Bangalore’s newly appointed coach Andy Flower said that the Aussie speedster’s unavailability in the first half of the tournament forced the team management to take a stern decision.
The 33-year-old is expecting his first child with his wife during the upcoming T20 extravaganza. Hazlewood went under the hammer in the auction held in Dubai. His minimum reserved amount was INR 2 crore but the buyers refused to bid for him. However, the star Australia player won’t be disappointed as the franchises might display eagerness to get him in the second half of the competition.
In case of injury crises, the franchises might think about adding him to their squads as he can provide impactful numbers to them with his experience and talent. The lanky pacer has played 27 matches in the cash-rich league and has got 35 wickets at an economy of 8.06.
