SRH retained players 2023: Full list of players retained by Sunrisers Hyderabad ahead of IPL Auction

The Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) have retained a total of 12 players ahead of the upcoming Indian Premier League (IPL 2023) mini-auction on December 23 in Kochi.

The 2016 champions have decided to persist with the likes of Rahul Tripathi, Abhishek Sharma, Bhuvneshwar Kumar, Umran Malik, T Natarajan, and Abdul Samad.

Afghanistan's Fazalhaq Farooqui, New Zealand's Glenn Phillips, and South Africa's Marco Jansen and Aiden Markram are the overseas players retained by SRH. Notably, the team will have to look for a new captain, given that they have released Kane Williamson.

While Williamson is one of the notable absentees from SRH's retention list, they have also parted ways with the likes of West Indies superstars Romario Shepherd and Nicholas Pooran in an attempt to increase their purse.

However, there is a possibility that the franchise could re-sign a few of its recently released players at the auction. SRH will go into the event with a hefty purse of ₹42.25 crore. The team finished eighth in the previous edition and will be aiming to make amends by coming up with an improved performance in the upcoming season.
