The <a href="https://www.crictracker.com/t20/ipl-indian-premier-league/" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong>IPL</strong></a> mega auction which was held on 12th and 13th February was a huge event for certain players. On the contrary, there were a few players who went unsold. But nevertheless, there are chances for those players to get back into this league as replacements.

Out of the 600 shortlisted players, only 204 players attracted bids. The rest of them went unsold. In the list of the unpicked players, there are many deserving world-class candidates. But, due to combinations and the purse limitations, such players were left unsold.

However, they can be roped into the squad anytime if any existing player from the team becomes unavailable for the tournament. Moreover, with the existing bio-bubble situations, there is a possibility for the unsold players to enter the IPL. The <a href="https://www.crictracker.com/ipl-schedule/" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong>IPL schedule</strong></a> has been released and the tournament is set to be played from March 26 to May 29.

5 Unsold overseas players who can come in as replacements:

One of the greatest modern Test batters on the Australian cricket team is <a href="https://www.crictracker.com/dead-benign-steven-smith-reviews-rawalpindi-pitch-as-1st-test-heads-for-dull-draw/" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong>Steve Smith</strong></a>. Maybe only this tag followed him and hence he has not got any offer from the teams to represent the IPL 2022. Smith isn’t a newbie to the IPL and has experience of playing more than 100 matches in the cash-rich league.

Apart from his batting, he has also been the captain of the Rajasthan Royals side for five long years. In 103 IPL matches, he has scored 2485 runs overall at an average and strike rate of 34.51 and 128.09 respectively. He also has a century to his name which is very rare in the shortest format.

Smith is part of Australia&#8217;s T20 squad too. But all these qualifications weren’t enough for him to get an IPL contract. His major criticism was his inability to clear the ropes like the other hard-hitting batters. Hence, he was unsold in the auction. But, it won’t be a surprise if one of the franchises gets him as a replacement batter.

(Photo Source: IPL/BCCI)</figcaption>

Bangladesh all-rounder <a href="https://www.crictracker.com/i-think-he-is-mentally-disturbed-bcb-president-on-shakib-al-hasans-request-for-break-from-international-cricket/" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong>Shakib Al Hasan</strong></a> hasn’t got a place in any of the ten teams. He has been a part of the IPL since 2011 and has been a loyal Knight of the Kolkata franchise for eight years. He also was a part of the Sunrisers Hyderabad team.

Shakib has played a total of 71 IPL matches scoring 793 runs at a strike rate of 124.48. With the ball, he has picked 63 wickets at an amazing economy of 7.43. He is an experienced all-rounder and a well-proven commodity.

However, none of the teams bid for him this year and was one amongst the unsold players. But one of the major reasons for him to go unsold could be his unavailability for the entire season. So, if any team needs a replacement for an all-rounder and if the time favours him, we could expect him to play this IPL.

(Photo Source: IPL/BCCI)</figcaption>

The English batter Dawid Malan is a sensational cricketer and not long ago, he was ICC&#8217;s number one ranked batter in T20Is as well. He also achieved the highest rating ever. He participated in the auction for a base price of INR 1.5 crore. Unfortunately, he went unsold.

This 34-year-old batter is an excellent top or middle-order option. He represented the <a href="https://www.crictracker.com/ipl-2022-punjab-kings-pbks-schedule-full-time-table-timings-dates-venues-details-and-pdf-download/" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong>Punjab Kings</strong></a> in 2021 but got just a single match to play in which he hit a run-a-ball 26. However, he withdrew from the second phase of IPL at UAE which was played just before the T20 World Cup.

Malan also played some crucial knocks for the English team in the T20 World Cup. Even though his record is decent in the Indian subcontinent, the southpaw couldn&#8217;t attracted any bids. Nevertheless, it isn’t over yet for Malan, as he will be one of the most sought-after players if the teams need replacements.

(Photo Source: Getty Images)</figcaption>

The Australian seamer Andrew Tye is definitely not a bad player to go unnoticed in the IPL auction. His records are amazing, yet it has not gone his way this time. He started off his IPL journey in 2017 for Gujarat Lions with an outstanding debut, where he took a five-wicket haul which included a hat-trick.

Tye’s following year with Kings XI Punjab was also remarkable, as he became the first-ever player to take three 4-wicket hauls in a single season of the IPL. He also became the <a href="https://www.crictracker.com/purple-cap-holders-in-ipl-history/" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong>purple-cap</strong></a> holder with most wickets in that season. But unfortunately, he couldn’t perform well the next year and hence was transferred to Rajasthan Royals in 2020.

Tye just played a match in 2020 where he gave away 50 runs in just four overs and in 2021, he withdrew himself from the IPL. Tye has played 27 IPL matches and has grabbed 40 wickets with an economy of 8.47. He has plenty of variations and explicit yorkers. He would definitely get a chance if any player gets injured.

(Photo by Anesh Dibiky/Gallo Images/Getty Images)</figcaption>

Tabraiz Shamsi is currently the ICC number one ranked T20I bowler. He became the highest wicket-taker in T20Is in a calendar year in 2021. He was first roped into Royal Challengers Bangalore in 2016 as a replacement for injured Samuel Badree.

Shamsi then played four matches that year and took three wickets with an expensive economy of 9.18. After that, he did not play any IPL matches until 2021 when <a href="https://www.crictracker.com/ipl-2022-rajasthan-royals-rr-schedule-full-time-table-timings-dates-venues-details-and-pdf-download/" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong>Rajasthan Royals</strong></a> picked him as a replacement for Andrew Tye.

This Proteas leggie just played a match that year and wasn’t effective as he was in the International matches. He enrolled in this year’s IPL auction with a base price of just INR 1 crore but he remained unsold. But Shamsi has always come into the IPL through the second door as a replacement, and he is in peak form lately. Hence we could expect him to feature this season as a replacement.

<p>Tabraiz Shamsi is currently the ICC number one ranked T20I bowler. He became the highest wicket-taker in T20Is in a calendar year in 2021. He was first roped into Royal Challengers Bangalore in 2016 as a replacement for injured Samuel Badree.</p>
<p>Shamsi then played four matches that year and took three wickets with an expensive economy of 9.18. After that, he did not play any IPL matches until 2021 when <a href="https://www.crictracker.com/ipl-2022-rajasthan-royals-rr-schedule-full-time-table-timings-dates-venues-details-and-pdf-download/" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong>Rajasthan Royals</strong></a> picked him as a replacement for Andrew Tye.</p>
<p>This Proteas leggie just played a match that year and wasn’t effective as he was in the International matches. He enrolled in this year’s IPL auction with a base price of just INR 1 crore but he remained unsold. But Shamsi has always come into the IPL through the second door as a replacement, and he is in peak form lately. Hence we could expect him to feature this season as a replacement.</p>

Out of the 600 shortlisted players, only 204 players attracted bids.
