IPL 2020 auction: 4 new West Indian players who could attract bids

#2. Hayden Walsh Jr

Hayden Walsh Jr.

The all rounder from West Indies could be a hot pick for the 2020 IPL.

The two teams which may show interest in the leg-spinner are Mumbai Indians and Kings XI Punjab. Mumbai Indians have Rahul Chahar as their lone specialist spinner and may show interest in bidding for Walsh Jr. in the upcoming auction.

Kings XI Punjab too will be on the lookout for a spinner as they have retained Mujeeb ur Rahman and Murugan Ashwin in their squad for the 2020 season of the IPL. Murugan Ashwin did not taste much success in the last season and the Kings may look to acquire the services of Walsh.

Walsh is an all-rounder who can score handy runs lower down the order and also take wickets with his right-arm leg spin bowling in the middle overs.

Walsh has picked up 10 wickets in T20 internationals at an average of 25.70 at an economy rate of 7.83.

The presence of a wrist spinner is of great importance in T20 cricket. Walsh is a relatively unknown figure in the IPL, and he could be the trump card for his team in the upcoming season.

#3. Fabian Allen

Fabian Allen

The 24 year old all-rounder could be on the list of a few franchises this IPL season.

Allen bowls slow left-arm orthodox spin and is an aggressive batsman in the death overs. He has made rapid strides in the Caribbean Premier League and is an excellent fielder. In domestic T20 cricket, Allen has an exceptional strike rate of 168.51 with the bat. He has an economy of 7.52 with the ball in domestic T20 cricket and can contain the scoring of runs in the middle overs

Sunrisers Hyderabad could bid for the all-rounder as they will be seeking a replacement for Shakib Al Hasan in the 2020 IPL season. Kings XI Punjab too have released Sam Curran and Moises Henriques and will be on the look out for an allrounder in the 2020 IPL season.

Allen is a relatively unknown name in the IPL and he will look to replicate the performances of his fellow Caribbean teammates and make a name for himself in the IPL.

#4. Brandon King

Brandon King

Brandon King was the top scorer in the recently concluded Caribbean Premier League, racking up 496 runs in 12 innings at an impressive average of 55.11 at an astonishing strike rate of 148.95. He was instrumental in the success of Guyana Amazon Warriors, who finished as the runners-up.

His unbeaten innings of 132 in the playoffs against Barbados Tridents, which included 11 sixes, was the highlight of the 2019 Caribbean Premier League.

Though King did not taste much success in the recently concluded T20 series against India, his impressive record in T20 cricket may fetch him a high bid in the upcoming auction.

Kolkata Knight Riders have released Chris Lynn for the 2020 season and King maybe on their radar as a top-order batsman.

Delhi Capitals too may be interested in bidding for King as they have released the likes of Colin Ingram and Colin Munro for the 2020 IPL season.

King is an aggressive batsman and will look to set the 2020 IPL stage on fire with his explosive batting performances.
