5 cricketers who Kolkata Knight Riders should not retain for the upcoming IPL season

#2 Chris Woakes

A bowling all-rounder, Chris Woakes is an integral part of England's squad who are currently taking part in the Ashes. He has been performing decently well as he picked up four wickets in the second Test.

Unfortunately, England finds themselves 2-0 down in the five-match Test series.

Woakes has been amongst the wickets for England over the past couple of years and has proved to be an extremely useful batsman as well. He was quite successful in his first season with KKR too as he picked up 17 wickets. However, he was quite expensive and gave away runs at 8.77 per over.

With the new retention policy, KKR will most likely have to opt for New Zealand's Trent Boult over Woakes.
