IPL 2021: Shane Bond backs Alex Hales to get an IPL contract in 2021.



Indian Premier League (IPL) 2021: The right-handed English Cricketer, Alex Hales has been out of the International format since April 2019. Even though he is not the part of England?s national side, Hales has proved that he is worth noting for the IPL contract. In the recently concluded Big Bash League, Hales playing for Sydney Thunders emerged as the highest run-getter for his side.



New Zealand former pacer and Sydney Thunders head coach, Shane Bond has backed the right-handed batsman to get the IPL contract in the coming IPL 2021 auctions. The auctions of the IPL 2021 are scheduled to take place on 18th February in Chennai.



Interestingly, Shane Bond is one of the prominent members of the Mumbai Indians management. Bond praised the English cricketer for his batting in the BBL and said he is batting better than ever.



Alex Hales was earlier picked up by Mumbai Indians in 2015 IPL but didn?t feature in a single game for the side.?



?He?s playing as well as I have ever seen him. We have a good team in Mumbai, but he?d give me a few shakes if we came up against him. It?s a great time to showcase your skills in the BBL (given the IPL auction is soon after). I always enjoy the auction; it can be a very exciting and life-changing night for a few people,? Bond said to cricket.com.au.



<h2>Alex Hales BBL 10 stats:</h2>



In the Big Bash League season 10, Alex Hales for Sydney Thunders did 15 outings in which he amassed 543 runs at an impressive strike rate of 161.61. He even smashed a century in the season to power Sydney Thunders to the finals.



If Hales gets a contract by Mumbai Indians, he can pair alongside with Quinton de Kock for a strong opening. Hales didn't play a single international game for the last two years after he was caught of using recreational drugs.



Talking about the IPL auction, Shane Bond said, its completely random and anything can happen that day.

IPL 2021: 3 Players KKR might target in IPL 2021 auctions.



Indian Premier League (IPL) 2021: The two times champions of the IPL have been in a constant debacle since the last two years. The 2020 IPL was no less, KKR failed to capitalise on the starts they got and had to do a lot of permutation and combination to seal the playoffs berth. However, they could not qualify due to lack of points at the end on playoffs.



The Knights will be keen on changing their feat and perform their best in the upcoming season of IPL. KKR mid-season changed the leadership as Dinesh Karthik stepped down and Eoin Morgan was appointed as the skipper.



In the coming season, KKR decided to go with the majority of the previous squad and have not released many cricketers. It will be interesting to watch their picks in the IPL 2021 auctions that are scheduled for 18th February in Chennai.



In this article, we will discuss three players KKR might target in the IPL 2021 auctions.



<h2>3 Players KKR might target in IPL 2021 auctions:</h2>



<h2>Alex Hales:</h2>



Opening was the issue for KKR last time they came out to play at UAE. Shubman Gill along with Sunil Narine didn?t work out for them. They can opt for Alex Hales who has been in tremendous form lately.&nbsp;



In the recently concluded BBL, Hales emerged as the highest run-scorer for Sydney Thunders. Shubman Gill along with Alex Hales could be a deadly pair for KKR. The right-handed batsman has scored 543 runs in 15 games which includes a century.



<h2>Shivam Dube:</h2>



The lack of Indian all-rounder at the middle order has ticked the KKR management for a while. With Andree Russell going through a lean patch of his form and Sunil Narine failing to connect ball, Shivam Dube can act as the shield for the Knight Riders.



Shivam Dube was released by RCB ahead of IPL 2021 auctions and he will head to the auctions. KKR can occupy the all-rounder into their arsenal and maximise the strength. The IPL 2021 will be played in India and most probably in the outskirts of Maharashtra, he being the regular player of these conditions can become a lethal weapon for them.



<h2>Marnus Labuschagne:</h2>



The Australian all-rounder will be the one player who will cause the bidding war between the franchises. Labuschagne in the BBL season 10 performed superbly and acted as a pure all-rounder.



KKR has a slot for the overseas player, they can run after the Aussie star.? In the 6 outings in BBL 10, Labuschagne scored 176 runs with a strike rate of 123 and picked 10 crucial scalps for his side Brisbane Heat.

IPL 2021: 3 Unsold players who can be picked later in the IPL 2021 tournaments.



IPL 2021: The much-awaited auction of the Indian Premier League was held last week and the franchises did everything to bolster their squads. While most of the franchises were happy with the purchases they did in the event although there were restrictions.



South Africa?s all-rounder Chris Morris shattered all the past records as he became the most expensive buy of IPL history. The mega event started silently with some of the big names going sold but it picked the pace with all the teams fighting hard to get the desired players.



Out of 292 players, 62 players got the bids in the IPL 2021 Auction, while there were some names that went unsold despite having tremendous records in the other leagues or for their respective national side.



In this article, we will look at the 3 most prominent cricketers who can be drafted in the IPL 2021 tournament midway.



<h2>3 Unsold players who can be picked later in the IPL 2021 tournaments</h2>



<h3>Aaron Finch:&nbsp;</h3>



The Aussie limited over skipper, Aaron Finch somehow failed to impress the single IPL franchises think-tank and he went unsold in the recent IPL auctions. Finch who is a regular name in the Indian T20 tournament has failed to find a permanent franchise.



Last year, Finch played for Virat Kohli led RCB and he was preferred for the opening spot. Although there were flashes of his good innings throughout the tournament, however, lack of consistency cost him the place as he was released from the squad one month back.



But the Australian skipper is capable of turning the table at any moment. Finch who has huge experience can be drafted in later in the tournament as franchises might need him.



<h3>Jason Roy:</h3>



The English opener was also not picked by the franchises in the recent IPL auction. Last time, the opener represented Delhi Daredevils in IPL and since then he has not featured in the cash-rich league.



While set in the crease he can smash the bowlers for fun and he has shown us that in the past, But his fluency against the spin might be the concern for the management. Roy is not a comfortable batsman against Spin that too in the subcontinent.



The English opener can be a choice for the franchises and can be brought midway through the tournament.



<h3>Alex Hales:</h3>



The star of the recent tenth season of the Big Bash League (BBL), Alex Hales was also not picked in the auctions. The right-handed batsman is in supreme form and has the ability to smack the bowlers around the park easily. Despite his runs, he also won the Golden Bat award in the BBL season 10.



The English batsman going unsold was not expected by the cricket pundits. He plays at number 3 for England national team in the ODIs. Hales can be a perfect choice of young flexible talent.



The franchises might opt for him leaving the above two batsmen if they required a solid opener and middle-order batsman.

IPL 2021: 3 Unsold players who can be picked later in the IPL 2021 tournaments

ipl-2021-3-unsold-players-who-can-be-picked-later-in-the-ipl-2021-tournaments

Although IPL auctions open up a plethora of opportunities for deserving players from all across the globe, it is not equally rewarding for every registered player. Only a certain number of players can be bought every year by all the franchises and thus a huge majority of them have to return empty handed,i.e, they go unsold. So has been the case from the very first IPL auction.&nbsp;



However, the Unsold players list from the last auction,i.e, the 2021 IPL auction was downright shocking as many deserving players did not attract any suitors. None of the franchises bidded for these well known players who performed brilliantly at the International stage and it was kind of surprising for the fans. But this too has to be kept in mind that last year the teams had to keep their expenditure as less as possible.&nbsp;



Fortunately, things will not be the same in IPL 2022?s Mega Auction. In IPL 2022, two new franchises have been added - Lucknow and Ahmedabad and it has changed the entire dynamics of the Mega Auction. More teams included means more players needed and many of the elite level players who were left out last season will surely get many bids this year.&nbsp;



In this article, we shall be talking about 5 players who went unsold in IPL 2021 but are highly likely to earn big bucks in the Mega Auction.&nbsp;



1. Matthew Wade - First on the list is Australian Wicket-keeper Matthew Wade. Wade has never played in the IPL in his career. Throughout his career, he has not been much known for his big hitting abilities and thus he did not attract many suitors in the IPL as well despite registering for it every single year.?



However, things are in Matthew Wade?s favor this year, thanks to his international performances. The Aussie keeper was terrific in the 2021 T20 World Cup and he single handedly won Australia the difficult semi-final matchup against a strong Pakistan side. His glorious 41 off 17 just changed the game and turned the tables in Australia?s favor. Australia went up to lift the T20 World cup trophy by defeating New Zealand in the final but none of it would have been possible without Matthew Wade.&nbsp;



IPL teams which are at the lookout for Wicket-keeper batters will definitely be interested in Matthew Wade as he can end up being a great finisher and is perfect for the format.&nbsp;



Matthew Wade plays for Hobart Hurricanes in the Big Bash League. In BBL 11, he scored 325 runs in 13 innings with a high score of 93 and a strike rate of 134. He can thus do both - play big shots and play a responsible knock when it is required.&nbsp;



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img src="https://admin.icccricketschedule.com/uploads/2022/02/matthew-wade.jpeg" alt="" class="wp-image-83271" /><figcaption>Matthew Wade</figcaption></figure>



2. Alex Hales - When it comes to IPL, Alex Hales has been unlucky throughout his career. Despite performing brilliantly in other T20 leagues across the globe like BBL, PSL, etc, he has never been much regarded by the IPL franchises for some reason.



However, this might finally be his year to shine in the Indian Premier League as the teams will be in need of more elite players and Alex Hales definitely makes the cut. The English international has played only 1 season of IPL for Sunrisers Hyderabad which was back in 2018. That year he scored 148 runs in 6 matches at a strike rate of 125.42 and average of 24.66.&nbsp;



Alex Hales was simply sensational in the Big Bash League this season. He scored 383 runs in 13 matches at an average of 31.92 and a staggering strike rate of 148.45. His highest score was an unbeaten 80. These stats will surely lure some top franchises of IPL into bidding for the Englishman.?



<figure class="wp-block-image size-full is-resized"><img src="https://admin.icccricketschedule.com/uploads/2022/02/35397f7e-3bd2-11e8-80b2-0257d29a997a.webp" alt="Mega Auction" class="wp-image-83272" width="999" height="563" /><figcaption>Alex Hales</figcaption></figure>



3. Jason Roy - Jason Roy is the second English player on this list and just like Alex Hales, he is highly underrated too. He has played in 3 IPL seasons - 2017, 2018 and 2021. Although he was unsold in IPL 2021 he was later brought in by Sunrisers Hyderabad in phase 2 as a replacement for Jonny Bairstow after he pulled out of the tournament. And Jason Roy performed pretty well in the 5 matches that he played last season, scoring 150 runs in 5 matches.?



The english opener has played 13 matches in all the IPL seasons combined and he scored 329 runs with a high score of 91*.&nbsp;



He plays for Sydney Sixers in the Big Bash League and his performance in the latest season was great. He played 12 matches in BBL 12 and scored 35 runs with an average of 32.27 and strike rate of 130.51. His highest score was 74*. Given his nice performances lately, Jason Roy can be bought by a franchise in the Mega Auction for a decent amount.&nbsp;



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large is-resized"><img src="https://admin.icccricketschedule.com/uploads/2022/02/jason-roy-twitter-1632749121.jpeg" alt="Mega Auction" class="wp-image-83273" width="1001" height="563" /><figcaption>Jason Roy</figcaption></figure>



4. Evin Lewis - Evin Lewis was unsold in IPL 2021?s Auction but he too was brought in as a replacement in phase 2 by Rajasthan Royals. He was simply brilliant in the few matches he played in last season. He played 5 matches in IPL 2021 and scored 151 runs at a strike rate of 162.36 and average of 30.20. His highest score was 58 runs.?



He thus impressed in the chances that he got and might thus attract some suitors in IPL 2022?s mega auction. Evin Lewis? record in the Caribbean Premier League was astonishing. He scored 426 runs in just 11 matches at a strike rate of 163.2 and an average of 47.33. His highest score in CPL 2021 was 102 runs.&nbsp;



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large is-resized"><img src="https://admin.icccricketschedule.com/uploads/2022/02/ron-2260-1632234375.jpeg" alt="" class="wp-image-83274" width="1000" height="563" /><figcaption>Evin Lewis</figcaption></figure>



5. Ish Sodhi - Ish Sodhi has had a great run at the International stage in the last few years. In fact he is one of the most successful spinners lately across all the formats. However, he has always been neglected by the IPL franchises.?



He has so far played in only 2 seasons of IPL - 2018 and 2019 for Rajasthan Royals but in both the seasons he was not given many opportunities. He played 6 matches in IPL 2018 (picked up 5 wickets) and 2 matches in IPL 2021 (picked up 4 wickets).&nbsp;



His recent success rate on the Indian soil, however, must compel the franchises to rethink. Ish Sodhi has been a great asset of New Zealand especially against Indian players and any team can use that to their advantage in the Indian Premier League. We can expect to see some big bids for him this season.&nbsp;



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img src="https://admin.icccricketschedule.com/uploads/2022/02/55122d16-sodhi-rr.jpeg" alt="" class="wp-image-83275" /><figcaption>Ish Sodhi</figcaption></figure>

The TATA IPL 2022 and the list of players opting out of it have started. Another star English batter <a href="https://www.icccricketschedule.com/ipl-2021-shane-bond-backs-alex-hales-to-get-an-ipl-contract-in-2021/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Alex Hales</a> has decided to opt-out of the tournament. Alex Hales has cited bio-bubble fatigue as a reason for missing out. This sentiment of the players is justified as the tournament lasts for over 2 months. KKR has roped in the Australian white-ball captain Aaron Finch in place of Alex. Here is a look:?



<h2>Alex Hales opts out of TATA IPL 2022:&nbsp;</h2>



?I am truly gutted to have to turn down one of the best opportunities of my career due to the toll that the last two years of bubble life have taken on my mental well-being. I'll now take some time to rest and recharge ahead of the summer. I want to thank KKR for believing in me during the auction and for their ongoing support in recent weeks. I wish Baz, Shreyas, and the team the best of luck for the tournament and hope to see the<a href="https://www.icccricketschedule.com/kolkata-knight-riders-kkr-new-captain-in-ipl-2022/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener"> Knight Riders</a> fans at some point in the future,? Hales said when he addressed the media.?



Hales was cited to be the first-choice opener for KKR. In his absence, KKR will look for Finch to step up. Sheldon Jackson, the Saurashtra batter can also be given a chance. Sheldon has been playing very well in the domestic circuit for a few years. ?



<h2>Aaron Finch Set to Replace Alex Hales:&nbsp;</h2>



Aaron Finch, the Australian white-ball batter, and the captain have been roped in to replace Hales. How Finch went unsold in the IPL 2022 Mega Auction is itself a big question. Finch brings along with him a lot of experience. Aaron will now be playing for his 9th IPL franchise. This is a record 9th team, most by any player in the IPL. Here is a look at the list:?

TATA IPL 2022: Alex Hales Opts Out of IPL, KKR Bring in Aaron Finch.?

tata-ipl-2022-alex-hales-opts-out-of-ipl-kkr-bring-in-aaron-finch

BCCI to penalise foreign players who pulled out of Tata IPL 2022: The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) is considering a punishment and strict action against foreign players who pull out of the Indian Premier League (IPL) at the last moment. In the recent past, we have seen a lot of cases where overseas players withdraw from the elite T20 tournament citing inadequate reasons, at the last moment, after getting picked at the auction.



In the ongoing edition of the Indian Premier League, English players Jason Roy (Gujarat Titans) and Alex Hales (Kolkata Knight Riders) pulled out of the tournament citing bubble fatigue.



In the recently held meeting of the Indian Premier League (IPL) Governing Council, the office bearers took a close look into the matter and promised to come up with some solid and strict actions against such cricketers.?



According to the reports of Cricbuzz, a few IPL franchises have presented their concerns following the increase in the number of overseas players pulling out of the Tata IPL.



?The GC has a commitment towards the franchises who are the important stakeholders of the league. They bid for a player after a lot of planning. Their calculations go haywire if a player pulls out, that too for flimsy reasons,? said a GC member.&nbsp;



It was further learnt that measures will be taken after hearing specific cases. The genuine acceptable reasons will be secured from the punishment, however, players with inadequate explanations will have to face strict action.

?There will not be a sweeping policy that everyone who has pulled out of the IPL will be prevented for a certain number of years. It will be on a case-by-case basis and some research will be done before action is initiated. What if the reason is genuine,? a source added.&nbsp;



England batter Jason Roy cited that he wants to spend quality time with his family and also wants to work on his cricket over the next couple of months. Ahead of the IPL 2022, a busy schedule awaits England cricket.

?I feel it is only right that I spend some quality time with my family. As well as spending time on myself and my game over the next couple of months, leading into a very busy year,? Roy said.

bcci-to-penalise-foreign-players-who-pulled-out-of-tata-ipl-2022

<h2>The Trent Rockets finished third in the last edition of The Hundred and have the pedigree to do even better in The Hundred 2022.</h2>



Though the Trent Rockets finished only behind title-winners Southern Brave and Birmingham Phoenix in the previous edition of The Hundred, the Trent Bridge side has the pedigree to do even better this time around. 



They have strengthened their squad even further by signing two in-form players in Colin Munro (878 runs off his last 28 T20 innings) and rising England all-rounder Ben Mike (15 wickets and 213 runs in T20 Vitality Blast).&nbsp;



The Rockets are going to play the first game of their Hundred 2022 campaign against the Birmingham Phoenix on 06 August. 



If the new additions perform well and the 3 proper game-changers listed here are able to hit form, the Trent Rockets have a great chance of lifting The Hundred 2022 title.



<h2>Trent Rockets: Players to watch out for</h2>



<h3>3. Alex Hales</h3>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img src="https://admin.icccricketschedule.com/uploads/2022/08/alexhalesTR2-edited.webp" alt="Alex Hales" class="wp-image-92545"/><figcaption>Image Credit: Getty Images</figcaption></figure>



England Cricket Team's first-ever T20I centurion, 33-year-old Alex Hales is the batsman around which the whole batting line-up of the Trent Rockets will revolve for The Hundred 2022.



Following his lean run in the previous edition of The Hundred, Hales found a lot of success in the 2021 BBL where he scored 384 runs ?including 59 boundaries? at an average of 32.&nbsp;More recently, Hales scored a blistering <a href="https://sports.ndtv.com/cricket/watch-magician-alex-hales-smashes-91-off-33-balls-including-17-boundaries-in-t20-blast-3039336" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">91 off 33</a> in the 2022 Vitality Blast.



Trent Rockets will rely on the destructive batter for the bulk of their scoring, especially inside the first 25 balls. Trent's odds of winning The Hundred 2022 title aside, a successful campaign may also see him make it to England's T20 WC 2022 squad at the expense of an out-of-form Jason Roy.



<h3>2. Marchant de Lange</h3>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img src="https://admin.icccricketschedule.com/uploads/2022/08/marcahnt-edited.jpg" alt="Marchant de Lange" class="wp-image-92546"/><figcaption>NOTTINGHAM, ENGLAND - JULY 24: Marchant de Lange of Trent Rockets Men celebrates after taking his fifth wicket during The Hundred match between Trent Rockets Men and Southern Brave Men at Trent Bridge on July 24, 2021, in Nottingham, England. (Photo by Shaun Botterill/Getty Images)</figcaption></figure>



Second on our list of Trent Rockets players to keep an eye out for The Hundred 2022 is the South African pacer, Marchant de Lange.&nbsp;



The imposing quick was the heart and soul of the Rockets' bowling attack last season, taking 12 wickets from 7 matches to end the tournament as the 2nd highest wicket-taker.



The out-and-out pace of de Lange can hurry the best of the batsmen as it did last season. In addition, the RSA-born bowls some deceptive slower ones that often catch the batters by surprise.&nbsp;



He is the only player to have taken a five-for in the T10 league and The Hundred, and that speaks volumes about the lesser-known but highly-effective Marchant de Lange. He'll spearhead Trent Rockets' pace-bowling department.



<h3>1. Rashid Khan</h3>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img src="https://admin.icccricketschedule.com/uploads/2022/08/rashidTR-edited.webp" alt="Rashid Khan" class="wp-image-92548"/><figcaption>Rashid Khan (Image Credit: TOI)</figcaption></figure>



Rashid Khan is always the player to watch out for, no matter which league or side he features in. The same will be the case when he represents Trent Rockets in The Hundred 2022.



The 23-year-old Rashid scalped 12 and 19 wickets in the last edition of The Hundred and IPL 2022 respectively. By a comfortable margin, the <a href="https://www.icccricketschedule.com/gujarat-titans-gt-appoint-rashid-khan-as-their-vice-captain-for-ipl-2022/" target="_blank" data-type="URL" data-id="https://www.icccricketschedule.com/gujarat-titans-gt-appoint-rashid-khan-as-their-vice-captain-for-ipl-2022/" rel="noreferrer noopener">Gujrat Titans vice-captain</a> was the best overseas spinner in both the franchise-cricket leagues.&nbsp;



Rashid is economical, takes wickets, and more importantly-&nbsp; has made it habitual to churn out some game-changing cameos with the bat.&nbsp;



The Afghan spinner will be replaced by SA's Tabraiz Shamsi for the last few games. But until then, he will be the trump card of the Rockets in the middle overs.&nbsp;Most of the batters in the competition are non-Asian and thereby likely to be sub-par against quality spin. They may find it hard to read the subtle variations of 'Karamati Khan', as they like to call him.

5. Steve Smith (AUS)
Steve Smith is one of the best test batters that the game has seen in the last decade or so. He started his career as a leg-spinner and batted at no. 8 in his first game. But here, he is among the greatest of all time. Smith recently reached the 10,000-run mark in the first test against Sri Lanka in Galle in his 205th innings. He has scored 10,038* runs in 205 innings at an average of almost 56 with 34 centuries and 42 half-centuries.

Ponting played 168 tests between 1995 and 2012 and scored 13,378 runs at an average of 51.85. He scored 41 centuries and 62 half-centuries with a best of 257.

2. Sachin Tendulkar (IND)

He scored 51 centuries and 68 half-centuries and reached 10,000 runs in his 195th test innings.
