New Zealand’s all-rounder Kyle Jamieson can be considered as one of the most exciting overseas all-rounder options for any IPL franchise. There are speculations that the 26-year-old, who has registered himself at a base price of INR 75 lakh, can have a lot of franchises going behind him in the upcoming IPL auction for the 2021 edition of the Indian Premier League (IPL) on February 18 in Chennai.

Kyle has featured in just 4 T20 Internationals thus far since his debut in November 2020 but has failed to make an impact as he could scalp just 3 wickets. However, the New Zealand all-rounder has managed to make a massive impact in the purest format of the game as in 6 games he has picked 36 wickets at an economy rate of 2.38 and strike rate of 13.3.

Speaking about the IPL Auction to ESPNcricinfo, Kyle said that he hasn’t paid much attention to it as currently, he is just focusing on improving his game. Jamieson believes that it won’t affect him much if he doesn’t get picked by any team in the upcoming auctions.

I’m not sure what’s going to happen: Kyle Jamieson

“To be fair, I haven’t paid too much attention to it and for me I’ve been focused on what I can control here and I think things will pan out the way they are going to tomorrow night – whether that means I get picked up and go great and if not there’s still a lot of cricket to be played across the winter. I try not to pay too much attention. Things like that tend to take care of themselves.”

Further, the all-rounder reckoned that it will be an enriching experience for him to participate in the Indian league as he will get a chance to learn a lot of things from the greats of the game along with getting the experience of playing in different conditions.

“That experience, if it comes, I’m not sure what’s going to happen, but it’s certainly a different experience and a lot of new learnings to come from. The probably most exciting thing is that when you get to play in these different environments, there’s a lot of learning and ways to upskill and try to add strings to your bow,” Kyle Jamieson concluded.
