IPL 2019: Key players from each team who can leave the tournament midway because of World Cup

#3 Kings XI Punjab- David Miller

David Miller is expected to be the only departure for the Kings XI Punjab midway through IPL 2019. The Proteas batsman is one of the key players for his national side and is certain to be in the World Cup squad. He has been a savior of sorts for KXIP on many occasions in the past and has played many memorable innings for the team but wasn't used properly last season.

Punjab have strengthened their middle order but they must use Miller properly before he leaves as he brings strength as well as stability to their middle order and they must be ready to sacrifice another overseas player for his cause.

Andrew Tye is in the reckoning for a place in the World Cup squad as the youngsters like Jhye Richardson and Jason Behrendorff are most likely to partner Mitchell Starc and Pat Cummins in the squad. Sam Curran also isn't in the reckoning for an ODI call-up.
