INDIA: Twenty20 (T20) cricket has gone from being a light-hearted sideshow to a money-spinning, central stage of the sport’s global calendar in a very short time span.
This year, T20 tournaments have showcased a lot of new and talented players from different regions of the world who can possibly land an IPL contract.
Transcontinental Times present a curated list of the new overseas players who can possibly debut in IPL2023:
Cameron Green
A seam bowling all-rounder, that’s it. The all-rounder word is almost what the T20 world is looking for, and Green has to offer a lot from both bat and bowl.
Green is an Australian player who made his debut in international cricket just a couple of years ago (2020). His T20I Stats, as of now, are not lucrative since he has played only 8 T20I till now. But he is a high-caliber player and very young (23), which makes him an excellent long-term investment for IPL teams.
Rilee Rossouw
South Africa lost to the Netherlands and was out of the WC T20 tournament. But, speaking of Rossouw, the left-handed batsman looked in good touch. A century in the T20 World Cup tournament, what more can you expect from a batter?
He also scored an unbeaten century against India in the October 2022 series (India vs. South Africa). According to Transcontinental Times, the no 8 ICC-ranking batsman is the definite pick in the IPL.
Ryan Burl
Another all-rounder from the list, Ryan Burl, is a Zimbabwean player who showed great potential in the past couple of years. He is a left-handed batsman and a leg spinner. T20 demands wrist spinners, and he can be a great option.
Recently the series in which Zimbabwe defeated the mighty Australian in the last match, Burl took a fantastic five-wicket haul. In the WC T20 2022 match against India, he scored a quickfire 35. Hence, He could also be a possible pick for IPL.
Taskin Ahmed and Glenn Phillips
Taskin has bowled superbly in this world cup, and he picked up 8 wickets in the tournament for Bangladesh with a decent economy. His yorkers and slower deliveries were effective. He could see an IPL team bidding for him.
On the other hand, the New Zealand batsman Glenn Phillips scored 201 in the World Cup, with a century included. He was the 10th highest run scorer batsman in the tournament. IPL franchise deficit of no 3 or 4 batsmen can go for him.
