5 England players who failed to shine in the IPL

4.Luke Wright

T20 specialist Wright has found no buyers for the fifth consecutive time at the Auctions.

The Englishman Wright is a popular T20 specialist and is welcomed by almost all the T20 franchise leagues in the world. Contrastingly, in the IPL, Wright has played only 7 matches and his lackluster performances in those games have resulted adversely for him.

In 2012, Wright replaced the injured Tim Paine in the now-defunct Pune Warriors India camp and over a period of 2 IPL seasons, he managed only 7 games. He scored an aggregate of 106 runs in 6 outings and failed in the bowling department as well. His economy spiked over 10 runs an over and managed to pick up only 2 wickets.

However, Wright is a regular for Melbourne Stars since 2011 and has plied his trade for as many as eight franchises till date. But his performances in the IPL has been utterly miserable thus going unsold in the subsequent auctions since 2014.
