Australia Portrait Session
Faulkner had a horrendous 2017 IPL

Australian James Faulkner has suffered a slump in his form due to which he has failed to make a place in Australia's final XI in the recent past. Faulkner was on top of his game till 2015 but he has been in the depths ever since. He had a memorable IPL season in 2013 where he scalped 28 wickets in 16 matches.

He suffered in the 2016 and 2017 edition of the league as he managed to take only 8 wickets in 15 matches. He first announced his arrival on the big stage after a scintillating performance in the IPL and the player would love to get back into the groove if he gets an opportunity to play in the league.

Having Faulkner in the ranks provides the teams with an extra cushion as the Tasmanian's batting abilities can be useful in T20 cricket.
