Potenial Big Buys at IPL 2022: Eoin Morgan and Adam Zampa
The Indian Premier League (IPL) 2022 is set to give an opportunity to a lot more players than the last few seasons as the tournament will be a 10-team affair. The 15th edition of the cash-rich league will witness the arrival of franchises of Lucknow and Ahmedabad.
As a result, IPL 2022 will also have a mega auction which last took place back in 2018. Now, let’s look at the top five 5 players who were unsold in the 2018 mega auction but could go for a large sum in the upcoming edition.
Eoin Morgan
Former Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) skipper Eoin Morgan is expected to grab a handsome deal ahead of IPL 2022. The Englishman led his former franchise till the final match of the previous season where they, unfortunately, lost to Chennai Super Kings (CSK). A lot of teams will be in the hunt for a captain at the auction table and Morgan can be the right candidate.
Adam Zampa
Australia’s Adam Zampa is one of the finest white-ball spin bowlers out there in modern-day cricket. His wicket-taking abilities will surely mark the interests of many franchise owners present at the IPL 2022 mega auction. He has been associated with now-defunct Rising Pune Supergiants (RPSG) and Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) in the past.
Nicholas Pooran
West Indies wicketkeeper-batter Nicholas Pooran is also expected to attract big bucks ahead of the IPL 2022. The youngster didn’t have a great last season with Punjab Kings (PBKS) but his hard-hitting batting abilities and a decent game sense will work in his favour in the upcoming IPL edition.
Lockie Ferguson
Ace Kiwi speedster Lockie Ferguson emerged as a surprise omission from the list of KKR’s retained players for IPL 2022. The 30-year-old has done exceptionally well in the white-ball formats in the last few years and his performances are unlikely to be overlooked by the representative of ten teams at the auction table.
David Wiese
The last name in the list of players who could go for a large sum in IPL 2022 is a surprise in the form of Namibia’s David Wiese. The fast-bowling all-rounder has gained a sizable name in the last year as he has played in a variety of franchise tournaments including the Abu Dhabi T10 League and Lanka Premier League.
