The Kolkata Knight Riders don't have that big a squad, and that will make it easier for the management to finalize the selection process of their overseas players.
Chris Lynn and Sunil Narine should comfortably continue in their spots, and the latter in particular will be one to watch out for after his heroics in the Bangladesh Premier League. Andre Russell will easily grab the all-rounder's spot ahead of Carlos Brathwaite.

KKR have always lacked a fearsome overseas seamer since Brett Lee left, and Lockie Ferguson can be the man for the job. He can clock amazing speeds and is a fiery bowler with the ability to pick quick wickets.
KKR seem to have a set plan with concern to their foreigners, and will be a side to watch out for.
