5 players who could be playing their last CPL

Jesse Ryder

Fans will hope Ryder fires for the St Lucia Stars this season

One of the most talented cricketers from New Zealand, Jesse Ryder has remained in the news in the last one decade for the wrong reasons. His inconsistency overshadows his batting skills which are capable of demolishing any bowling unit.

He was roped into this year's CPL by St. Lucia Stars as the replacement for the injured David Miller. Ryder played his last match in March 2017 representing Central District and smashed 109 in that game.

But anyone who has seen Ryder bat knows that stats don't matter to him and nothing can be predicted about his batting. He is sure to get a longer stint at St Lucia Stars, who do not really have any other overseas specialist batsman in their squad.

But will the New Zealand batsman make his chances count?A mediocre performance in this edition could well close the doors for next year's CPL for Ryder and hence he must fire in this season.
