Indian Players who are getting less salary in IPL 2022 Player Retention.



IPL 2022 Player Retentions: The recent IPL 2022 Player Retentions embarked on a new era in the Indian Premier League (IPL). The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) has expanded the cash-rich league with two new teams getting added to the mix.?



The auctions and player retentions have never been easy, neither for the franchises nor for the fans. The teams bid farewell to some of their brilliant players. The already well-settled teams will have to do excessive work to bring their players back during the IPL 2022 Auction.&nbsp;



On 30th November, the franchises revealed their top four confirmed retentions for the coming season and their respective salaries. Some players have received a pay raise while some have seen a little dip in their annual salary in the IPL.



Here is the distribution of salaries for the retained players in IPL 2022:



In case of 4 Retentions: 



Player 1 ? INR 16 Crores



Player 2 ? INR 12 Crores



Player 3 ? INR 8 Crores



Player 4 ? INR 6 Crores



In case of three retentions ?&nbsp;



Player 1 ? INR 15 Crores



Player 2 ? INR 11 Crores



Player 3 ? INR 7 Crores



In case of two retentions ?&nbsp;



Player 1 ? INR 14 Crores



Player 2 ? INR 10 Crores



In case of one retention ?&nbsp;



Player 1 ? INR 14 Crores



Here in this article, we will discuss Indian Players who are getting less salary in IPL 2022 as compared to the basic IPL 2022 Retained Players salary structure.



<h2>Indian Players who are getting less salary in IPL 2022 Player Retention:</h2>



<h3>Prithvi Shaw (Delhi Capitals) - 0.5 Crore:</h3>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><img src="https://admin.icccricketschedule.com/uploads/2021/04/Prithvi-Shaw-DC.jpg" alt="Rahul Dravid never forced me to change my style of game: Prithvi Shaw" class="wp-image-62364" /></figure>



Delhi Capitals (DC) has become a performing franchise ever since it changed its brand name. The franchise name changed from Delhi Daredevils to Delhi Capitals in 2018 and since then it has performed blazingly. The fortunes are back with the franchise as they have managed to seal a playoff berth in every IPL season since 2018.



The franchise believes in the capabilities of their young players who have made things possible for them over these last few years. One such name is Prithvi Shaw, who has been remarkable for the franchise at the top order.



Shaw has played some of the finest knocks in the past and time and again keeps reproducing them. The youngster has plundered over 1,300 runs in 53 IPL matches at an impressive strike rate of 146.30. He is well known for his brilliance during the powerplay and is capable of giving a brisk start to the Capitals.



The Delhi based franchise has retained four players in the recent player retentions. The franchise gave a pay raise of INR 0.5 Crores to South African pace gun Anrich Nortje which resulted in a pay cut of Prithvi Shaw. He has received a salary cut of INR 0.5 Crores. Delhi retained Shaw for INR 7.50 Crores.

<h3>Mayank Agarwal (Punjab Kings) - 2 Crore:</h3>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><img src="https://admin.icccricketschedule.com/uploads/2021/12/Mayank-Agarwal.jpg" alt="" class="wp-image-81372" /><figcaption>Mayank Agarwal | Image: IPL</figcaption></figure>



The only capped retention of Punjab Kings (PBKS), Mayank Agarwal, has also suffered a pay cut. Agarwal is retained by PBKS for INR 12 Crores cutting down INR 2 Crores from his salary.&nbsp;



The salary of first choice retention, in case of only two retentions, was INR 14 Crores, however, Mayank Agarwal is getting INR 12 Crores only. PBKS has also retained uncapped pacer Arshdeep Singh for INR 4 Crores.



Punjab Kings (PBKS) unfortunately could not end their barren run in the last season of the IPL. The franchise did everything right during the auction to bag hefty players, however, the outcomes didn?t come in their favour.?They ended their last IPL campaign at a low as they couldn't qualify for the playoffs.



<h3>Varun Chakravarthy (Kolkata Knight Riders) - INR 4 Crores:</h3>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><img src="https://admin.icccricketschedule.com/uploads/2021/05/varun-chakravarthy.jpg" alt="IPL 2022: 3 Players on whom Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) might use their Right To Match (RTM) card in the IPL 2022 Mega Auction" class="wp-image-63820" /></figure>



The third player on the list is mystery spinner Varun Chakravarthy who has been retained by Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) by shelling out INR 8 Crores. Chakravarthy had to take a massive salary cut of INR 4 Crores.&nbsp;



Experts believe that Chakravarthy?s stocks went down during the recent ICC T20 World Cup 2021. He wasn?t able to pick wickets in the major tournament. 



Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) made a radical turnaround in the IPL 2021 second leg in the UAE. KKR suffered a horrible outing in the first phase of the IPL 2021, however, the forced break due to covid-scare changed their fortunes as they went on to become the runner-up of the tournament.



From winning 1 out of seven matches in IPL 2021 phase one to bag a place in the finals was nothing short of a miraculous comeback.



<h3>Axar Patel (Delhi Capitals) - INR 3 Crore:</h3>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><img src="https://admin.icccricketschedule.com/uploads/2021/12/Axar-Patel-1.jpg" alt="Indian Players who are getting less salary in IPL 2022 Player Retention" class="wp-image-81402" /><figcaption>Image : IPL</figcaption></figure>



Talented Indian spin all-rounder Axar Patel is also receiving a pay cut in the upcoming season of the Indian Premier League. Axar is Delhi's second choice retention and is getting INR 9 Crores salary while the actual salary of second choice retention is INR 12 Crores (in case of 4 retentions).



Axar has established himself as one of the most reliable players in every format he plays. He is a crafty bowler with the canny ability to pick wickets. He is also a handy batsman at lower order.



The all-rounder has scalped 95 wickets in 108 matches he featured in the IPL. He is quite impressive with his economy (7.22). As far as his batting is considered, Axar has scored over 950 runs in 109 matches.

IPL 2022 Player Retentions: Indian Players who are getting less salary in IPL 2022 Player Retention

IPL 2022 Updates - Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) to appoint Dale Steyn as their bowling coach: In an important development, the 2016 Indian Premier League (IPL) winning franchise Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) is all set to rope in former South African pacer Dale Steyn as their bowling coach in the IPL 2022.



Steyn, who has played in the IPL, has almost agreed on the terms. The reports suggest that the negotiations with the former pacer went well and the franchise is probable to make a formal announcement by the end of next week if everything continues to go as per the plans.



It is important to note that Dale Steyn had announced his all format cricket retirement earlier this year in August.&nbsp;



Steyn, who is one of the most celebrated pacers, has featured in 93 test matches in which he has scalped 439 wickets at an average of 22.95. The fierce speedster has also uprooted 196 wickets in 125 ODI games he played for South Africa. Moreover, he has also played the shortest format cricket for his national team. In 47 T20I matches, Steyn has picked 64 wickets with an economy little below seven.



The pacer has also played as many as 95 matches in the elite Indian Premier League (IPL). Dale has played for Deccan Chargers, Sunrisers Hyderabad, Gujarat Lions, and Royal Challengers Bangalore before bidding goodbye to the game of cricket as a player.

<h2>Tom Moody to be appointed new SRH head coach:</h2>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><img src="https://admin.icccricketschedule.com/uploads/2021/12/Tom-Moody-1.jpg" alt="Tom Moody to be appointed SRH's new head coach | Image: SRH Twitter" class="wp-image-81906" /><figcaption>Tom Moody to be appointed SRH's new head coach | Image: SRH Twitter</figcaption></figure>



Dale Steyn will work closely with Tom Moody who is likely to be appointed the head coach. It is noteworthy that former head coach Trevor Bayliss and batting coach Brad Haddin recently parted ways with the franchise following the recent unsuccessful season of IPL.



The franchise will also be without the services of long-standing mentor VVS Laxman as he has been appointed chief of the National Cricket Academy (NCA) Bangalore recently.



If the reports are to be believed, SRH is also in talks with former India and Tamil Nadu all-rounder Hemang Badani. The former cricketer is likely to join the coaching staff of the franchise in IPL 2022.

IPL 2022 Updates - Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) to appoint Dale Steyn as their bowling coach

With Ben Stokes pulling out of the lucrative IPL Mega Auction, one of the top all-rounders won?t be available. But the teams will certainly be looking to fill in the voids. All-Rounders play a vital role in the T20 game. The current scenario of world cricket has a few good all-rounders but the deterioration is evident. An all-rounder gives much-needed stability to the IPL teams. So, who are the top 10 all-rounders in IPL 2022 Mega Auction? Who are the ones who will bring the balance in the teams? Here?s a look:?



<h2>10) Dwayne Bravo is one of top 10 all-rounders:?</h2>



DJ Bravo the West Indian charmer is a good pick as an all-rounder. What Bravo brings to the table is experience. Bravo happens to be the third most capped player in the T20s after Pollard and Gayle. Although Bravo is aging he is aging like fine wine. His cutters and slower ones are very well disguised. Bravo has an economy of 8.5 in the death overs which makes him a perfect choice. Bravo?s batting is not in its prime but when required, the Trinidadian can come to the party.?



<h2>9) Jason Holder:?</h2>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img src="https://admin.icccricketschedule.com/uploads/2022/01/cricket-fa3-min.jpg" alt="" class="wp-image-82887" /><figcaption>IMG SRC: TOI</figcaption></figure>



Jason Holder, the former captain of the West Indies white-ball team, is highly rated by ICC. Jason doesn?t have the pinch-hitting game but he certainly has the game to move the ball around. He is a good pick to bat at number 6 or 7. If you pick Holder, who happens to be one of the top 10 all-rounders, he gives you a full quota of 4 overs. He has an economy of 8.2. &nbsp;



<h2>8) Shakib Al Hasan:&nbsp;</h2>



Shakib has been the top all-rounder in world cricket since the 2010s. It takes a lot of hard work and diligence to stay at the top for so long. Shakib brings with him a truckload of experience. He has been playing freelance cricket for quite some time now. Hasan bowls his overs quickly so he can be used to maintain the over rate as well. He has a lot to offer with the bat. If required, Shakib can bat number 3 as well because he has done the same for the Bangladesh National team. ?



<h2>7) Sam Curran:&nbsp;</h2>



Sam Curran and his innings against India in the last ODI at Ahmedabad can prove his batting skills. Curran is a left-hander and produces the feared angle to the right-handers. He consistently bowls at 135-140 kmph. Curran has his set of variations as well. He has a well-disguised slower ball. Chennai Super Kings made effective use of Sam. If required Sam can open the innings for pinch-hitting in the powerplay overs.?



<h2>6) Vijay Shankar is one of top 10 all-rounders :?</h2>



Vijay Shankar was expected to replace Hardik Pandya. But due to injuries, his career at the top level was cut short. But Vijay has made a comeback and has taken leadership duties for Tamil Nadu at the domestic level. Shankar is an Indian and an Indian pace-bowling all-rounder is an exclusive commodity. Shankar can effectively bat at number 4 or number 5 and hold the innings together. Vijay Shankar is certainly one of the top 10 all-rounders on the list.



<h2>5)?Shivam Dube is one of top 10 all-rounders :?</h2>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img src="https://admin.icccricketschedule.com/uploads/2022/01/cricket-fa6-min.jpg" alt="" class="wp-image-82888" /><figcaption>IMG SRC: CricketAddictor</figcaption></figure>



Similar to Vijay Shankar, Shivam Dube is a good choice. Dube looks to be a more talented and gifted batsman. Shivam is a left-hander and this gives him an added advantage. One can never forget his 5 sixes in one over in the final of the Mumbai T20 league. Dube bowls at a medium pace of 130-135 and has a set of variations. His knuckleball and off-cutter are most used. Dube is again, an Indian and hence the franchises will prefer him over any other overseas pick. ?



<h2>4)?Mohammad Nabi:?</h2>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img src="https://admin.icccricketschedule.com/uploads/2022/01/cricket-fa5-min.jpg" alt="" class="wp-image-82889" /></figure>



Mohammad Nabi, the Afghani spin-wizard has been playing since the time of Aakash Chopra! This definitely gives a reference to the amount of experience that he brings with him. Nabi can bowl a few good overs in the powerplay. Nabi uses pace-variation as a spinner. He can be used as a pinch-hitter as he has a strike rate of over 170 in the last 5 overs. ?Nabi is one of the top 10 all-rounders in world cricket.



<h2>3) Krunal Pandya:&nbsp;</h2>



Krunal Pandya, the left-arm spinner from Baroda, is one of the top 10 all-rounders in the auction pool. Pandya has a lot of experience playing at the domestic level. The Pandya brothers were scouted by the Mumbai Indians management, John Wright to be precise. Pandya has been playing in the IPL for 5 years and has played at almost every ground. Pandya bowls several variations and his yorker is dreaded.?



<h2>2) Chris Woakes:&nbsp;</h2>



Chris Woakes and his stats are similar to Ben Stokes. It is just that Stokes has stepped up whenever the opportunity has come and Woakes? performances are unrecognized. Chris Woakes can swing the ball in the powerplay overs. A pitch like the Ahmedabad one or the Dharmshala one can favor him as a bowler. His batting abilities are good too. Gautam Gambhir rates Chris Woakes very highly.?



Honorable Mentions:



<ol><li>Wanindu Hasaranga</li><li>Harshal Patel</li><li>Rishi Dhawan</li></ol>



<h2>1) Mitchell Marsh:?</h2>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img src="https://admin.icccricketschedule.com/uploads/2022/01/cricket-fa7-min.jpg" alt="" class="wp-image-82890" /></figure>



Mitchell Marsh, the Man of the Match of the Final of the ICC T20 World Cup 2021 is a good choice as an all-rounder. Marsh hasn?t had long runs in the IPL due to injuries. He has previously represented the Sunrisers Hyderabad. Marsh has improved his game significantly in the past 2 years. Marsh plays for the Perth Scorchers in the BBL and has been consistent with the bat. His batting overshadows his bowling but he can give a few handy overs. He bowls well over 130 kmph and has good variations. ?

IPL 2022 is on track! The Board of Control for Cricket in India is expected to conduct the IPL 2022 from 27th March onwards. The tournament will then end in the last week of May. The BCCI is also keen on conducting the IPL 2022 in India itself, with Mumbai and Pune being the likely venues. This means that the IPL will start a week earlier. Other several updates were given in the meeting of the owners conducted by the BCCI on Saturday, 22nd October. Here is an in-depth look:?



<h2>BCCI Likely to Conduct IPL in Mumbai and Pune:?</h2>



The BCCI had a meeting with the owners of the teams. The meeting was attended by almost every owner including Shah Rukh Khan, Preity Zinta, the Ambanis, Parth Jindal, and the owners of the two new franchises, <a href="https://www.icccricketschedule.com/ahmedabad-owned-by-cvc-capitals-approach-agency-for-suitable-franchise-name-in-ipl-2022/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Ahmedabad</a> and Lucknow. There were two major discussions held in this meeting. One was around, the change of dates of the IPL, and the other was around the venues of the IPL. The change in the dates is such that the IPL will shift a week earlier. The IPL will begin on the 27th of March. It was agreed upon by all the owners. ?



The second discussion was around the venue of the IPL. The available options were to conduct it in the UAE <a href="https://www.icccricketschedule.com/virat-kohli-defends-team-india-for-drs-controversy-outburst-in-the-3rd-test-match-against-south-africa/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener sponsored nofollow">South Africa</a> or Mumbai and Pune. The option of South Africa has been put on hold as the broadcasting timings do not exactly match with India. The UAE option was sidelined because dew plays spoilsport. The matches in the UAE last year favored the teams that batted second. The ball was getting super wet for the teams balling second and was also skidding off the wicket. ?



The option of Mumbai and Pune was agreed upon by all the owners. The two cities comprise a total of 4 stadiums. The Wankhede Stadium, the Brabourne Stadium (CCI), the DY Patil Stadium (New Mumbai), and the Subroto Roy Stadium at Gahunje, Pune. The fact that these cities have the hotels and accommodation required to hold the IPL bandwagon, were considered.?

It is going to be held in Bengaluru on the 13th and 14th of February. The final decision regarding conduction will be taken on the 20th of February.

The excitement for the name of the Lucknow Franchise has finally ended. After all the netizens guessed the name as Lucknow Rangers or Lucknow Panthers, the name was unveiled as Lucknow Super Giants. The name is similar to the franchise that was from Pune and owned by Sanjeev Goenka. Lucknow Super Giants has recruited KL Rahul, Ravi Bishnoi, and Marcus Stoinis. Here is an in-depth look at the same:?

The owner of the Lucknow-based franchise, Sanjeev Goenka revealed the name of the franchise. The name of the franchise is Lucknow Super Giants. The team's name was announced on Twitter yesterday evening. Sanjeev Goenka himself appeared in the video and made the announcement. The name was hilariously received by the cricket community. The name was a rage on Twitter. &nbsp;



Several Twitter users predicted the name to be ?Lucknow Rangers? or ?Lucknow Panthers? but the name revealed was different. The Lucknow team has already picked 3 players from the draft before the auction. The three players chosen are <a href="https://www.icccricketschedule.com/bcci-central-contracts-2022-rishabh-pant-kl-rahul-likely-to-get-grade-a-contract/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">KL Rahul for 17 Crore</a> Indian Rupees,<a href="https://www.icccricketschedule.com/kagiso-rabada-marcus-stoinis-in-lucknows-backup-player-list-in-ipl-2022/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener sponsored nofollow"> Marcus Stoinis for 9.2 Crore</a> Indian Rupees, and Ravi Bishnoi for 4 Crore Indian Rupees. Earlier the franchise was bought by the RPSG Group in the bidding process for the highest bid of 7090 Crore Indian Rupees. This happens to be the BCCI?s most lucrative brand deal of recent times. ?

The Lucknow team has appointed a great and experienced support staff. The team coach is Andy Flower who has previously been the coach for the England National Team. The Assistant Coach is Vijay Dahiya. Vijay was associated with the Kolkata Knight Riders in 2012 and 2014 as well. Last but not least Gautam Gambhir is appointed as a mentor in the team. Gautam has already won the IPL title twice under his leadership and this improves his portfolio. ?



<h2>IPL 2022 Mega Auction Details:&nbsp;</h2>



Over 1200 players had dropped in their name for the IPL 2022 Mega Auction. But of these 1214 players, 896 were Indian and 318 were foreign players.

TATA IPL 2022 is on board. But the official broadcasters for this season are yet to be decided. The media rights for the year 2022 are yet to be decided. The last time the media rights were sold to Star TV Network was in 2017 for 5 years. Before that, the official broadcaster of the tournament was <a href="https://www.icccricketschedule.com/sony-zee-to-merge-for-acquiring-broadcasting-rights-for-ipl-2023-27-reports/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Sony TV Network</a>, since the inception of the tournament. IPL Media Rights will be once again up for grabs in an e-auction as reports immerge. The auction is likely to be held in the second week of February.?



<h2 id="ipl-media-rights-and-bcci">IPL Media Rights and BCCI:&nbsp;</h2>



Last time, by selling the IPL Media Rights to the <a href="https://www.icccricketschedule.com/ipl-2021-disney-plus-hotstar-signs-10-sponsors-for-ipl-2021/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener sponsored nofollow">Star TV network</a>, the BCCI earned a whopping 16347 Crore Indian Rupees. The other contenders in line were Sony TV, Facebook, and a few other platforms. Since then, the association of IPL and Star has taken the brand value to greater heights. Star TV had broadcasting rights from 2017 to 2021. ?



The tender for the rights will come out between 10th to 12th February, tentatively. The BCCI is keen on maintaining ?transparency? regarding IPL Media Rights. Previously, a PIL was filed by MP Subramaniam Swamy in the honorable Supreme Court of India for making the process a digital one. However, the honorable Supreme Court did not apply any such obligations on the <a href="https://www.icccricketschedule.com/bcci-keen-to-host-tata-ipl-2021-in-india-likely-to-be-in-mumbai/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener sponsored nofollow">BCCI </a>but suggested a transparent process. Keeping that in mind, the BCCI has settled for an E-Auction.?



<h2 id="media-rights-categories-and-history">Media Rights Categories and History:?</h2>

<h3 id="the-media-rights-were-initially-classified-into-the-following-category">The Media Rights were initially classified into the following category:?</h3>

<ol start="6"><li>Middle East Media Rights: BeIn SPorts Group 390 Crore Indian Rupees&nbsp;</li></ol>



The rapid growth of digital platforms will play a huge role this time. When the IPL Media Rights were sold in 2008 only 5 % of the share was digital. But within 10 years, it rose to 25%, with Facebook being the highest bidder in that category. Now with several other platforms available, it is keen to see how things pan out. The expected valuation for IPL Media Rights is drawn by many financial analysts to be 25K to 30K Crore Indian Rupees. ?

Over the years the IPL has become a money-ball game for several overseas players. We have seen many foreign players taking home a truckload of money. Chris Morris happens to be the most expensive player ever in an IPL Auction at a whopping 16.25 Crore Indian Rupees. Second, in line is Pat Cummins who was bought at 16 Crores. These numbers at times sound unreal and make our jaws drop! <a href="https://www.icccricketschedule.com/glenn-maxwell-tested-covid-positive-sent-into-isolation/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Glenn Maxwell</a> with 11 Crores and Rashid Khan with 15!

India is a land of spinners. Year after year we have seen ?Spin is the King?. Yuzvendra Chahal, Harbhajan Singh, Rashid Khan, and Ravi Ashwin are some names that have dominated the IPL for quite some time. Tabraiz Shamsi, the Protea Chinaman will be in demand big time. The magician from <a href="https://www.icccricketschedule.com/tata-ipl-2022-to-be-held-in-south-africa-csa-sends-proposal-to-bcci/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">South Africa </a>has played all around the globe and this adds experience to his resume. Adil Rashid on the other hand was an integral part of the England team that won the 2019 World Cup. Rashid beats the batsmen in the air and can outfox the batsmen. Rashid has played on Indian wickets and he can add value to Indian youngsters.?



<h2 id="9-lockie-ferguson-is-one-of-the-top-10-overseas-players">9) Lockie Ferguson is one of the top 10 overseas players:?</h2>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img src="https://admin.icccricketschedule.com/uploads/2022/02/cricket-fq5-min.jpg" alt="" class="wp-image-83309" /><figcaption>The man with the iconic mustache, meet Lockie Ferguson. IMG SRC: Indian Express.</figcaption></figure>



The underdog from New Zealand will earn a big paycheque this time. With his signature mustache, Lockie will make a mark on this IPL Auction. He is certainly one of the top 10 overseas players in the IPL auction. This Kiwi has a laser-guided yorker at a pace of 145+ kmph. He has an economy of 8.2 in the death overs. Lockie Ferguson too plays freelance cricket and has played in every country. A wicket like Ahmedabad or Dharmshala can do wonders for him as they have pace and bounce on offer. ?



<h2 id="8-shimron-hetmeyer-dawid-malan">8) Shimron Hetmeyer/ Dawid Malan:?</h2>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img src="https://admin.icccricketschedule.com/uploads/2022/02/cricket-fq4-min.jpg" alt="" class="wp-image-83308" /><figcaption>Malan can effectively play spin bowlers as well. IMG SRC: InsideSport</figcaption></figure>



Shimron Hetmeyer and Dawid Malan aren?t like to like options. But these two are tied at position 8! Shimron bats lower down the order. He was associated with the Delhi Capitals for 2 seasons and made sure they qualified for both for the playoffs?each time. When Hetmeyer plays he rules the game! He has a Yuvrajesque game. Dawid Malan on the other hand can bat at top of the order. He is highly rated by the ICC. Malan doesn?t play freelance so many teams are unaware of his style of play. He is an exquisite stroke maker. Both these lefty batsmen are on the list of top 10 overseas players.?



<h2 id="7-mitchell-marsh-is-one-of-the-top-10-overseas-players">7) Mitchell Marsh is one of the top 10 overseas players:&nbsp;</h2>



Coming from the back of an amazing season with the Australian national team and Perth Scorchers, Mitchell Marsh will add value to any team. He bats at number 4 and gives you 2 to 3 reliable overs. The younger Marsh was the ?Man of the Match? in the ICC T20 World Cup final. Marsh has worked on his batting abilities. He has a textbook style of play. He takes his time to settle down and then blasts the bowlers. &nbsp;



<h2 id="6-rassie-van-der-dussen">6) Rassie Van Der Dussen:&nbsp;</h2>



Rassie Van Der Dussen has made it to the list after his performance against India. Dussen is an optimum pick for any team looking for someone to move the game. In the middle-overs when the game becomes dry, Rassie can spice things up. One can never forget his innings against the Englishmen in the ICC T20 World Cup. He smashed the likes of Wood, Jordan, and Rashid everywhere. Van Der Dussen is in his early thirties which means that he is carrying a truck-load of experience. ?



<h2 id="5-quinton-de-kock-is-one-of-the-top-10-overseas-players">5) Quinton De Kock is one of the top 10 overseas players:?</h2>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img src="https://admin.icccricketschedule.com/uploads/2022/02/cricket-fq3-min.jpg" alt="" class="wp-image-83310" /><figcaption>De Kock is a senior player from the Prote squad. IMG SRC: InsideSport</figcaption></figure>



Quinny makes it to the list because of his attacking style and wicket-keeping skills. De Kock is a strong individual and can be a part of the leadership group. Quinton has been a part of the IPL since 2013. His game hasn?t changed much since he was playing for Highveld Lions, however, he has gained a lot of experience. De Kock has worked with the likes of Robin Singh and Gary Kirsten. A veteran in the T20 format, his game sense is top-notch. De Kock will add value to the Indian youngsters. It is expected that he will go for well over 5 Crore Indian Rupees. He is certainly one of the top 10 overseas players.?



<h2 id="4-jonny-bairstow">4) Jonny Bairstow:&nbsp;</h2>



Jonny Bairstow has been ruling world cricket since 2019. The bashing that he gave Kuldeep Yadav at Birmingham in 2019 has kept Kuldeep out of the side since then. His Jayasuriyaesque style of play is a treat to watch. Bairstow is a top ambassador of the <a href="https://sportsdanka.com/cricket/how-england-turned-their-white-ball-cricket-team-into-a-dominant-force/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">?Slam Bang?</a> approach of England Cricket. He is a technically sound batsman. He averages 35+ at a strike rate of 140! Jonny can form a good pair with someone like Rohit or Virat at the top. As both the other players take their time to settle in. ?



<h2 id="3-pat-cummins-is-one-of-the-top-10-overseas-players">3) Pat Cummins is one of the top 10 overseas players:?</h2>



<figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper">
https://twitter.com/CricketAus/status/1482680332235448325
</div></figure>



It is a general trend that bowlers are sold at a higher price than batsmen. Hence Pat Cummins is so highly rated in the list of top 10 overseas players. Cummins, last time took home 16 Crore Indian Rupees. What has changed since then is that he has become the leader of the Australian team. Cummins led Australia to a thumping 4-0 Ashes win over England. He has an economy of 8.23. His bouncer makes the batsmen smell the leather. His yorker crushes the toes. All in all, Cummins is a complete package. Young Indian bowlers will get a lot of grooming from this individual. The Leadership group of a team can be improved by considering his opinions.?



<h2 id="2-kagiso-rabada">2) Kagiso Rabada:&nbsp;</h2>



Kagiso Rabada is currently one of the top fast bowlers in the world. His smooth run-up and perfect action make sure he generates express pace. Ever since his debut in 2017, his pace hasn?t dropped! He bowls well over 140 kmph. Kagiso Rabada made Andre Russell fall with his precise yorkers! This incident defines the genius of this legend. Kagiso is riding high on confidence after a series victory against India. Rabada doesn?t think twice before having banter on the field and this shows his strong personality. He is a thinking bowler with an economy of 8.21. ?



<h2 id="1-david-warner">1) David Warner:?</h2>



<figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper">
https://twitter.com/Sportskeeda/status/1486920210447699973
</div><figcaption>As per the latest reports, the leadership section for Warner seems empty!</figcaption></figure>



David Warner left the IPL 2021 with a sour taste in his mouth after falling out with SRH. SRH might have regretted their decisions after Warner became ?Man of the Series? in the ICC T20 World Cup 2021. Warner single-handedly won two games for the Australians. Season after season, David has tonked the bowlers. In the 2016 season, the show was stolen by Virat and his 973 runs but David managed to get 850+ runs too! He led SRH to victory in that season. He averages 42 with a strike rate of 140!&nbsp;

top-10-overseas-players-to-earn-big-in-tata-ipl-2022-mega-auction

The Uncapped Players in the IPL Auction always have a buzz that surrounds them. The likes of Mayank Markande, T Natrajan, Md. Siraj and Krunal Pandya have bagged large sums of money when they were uncapped.<a href="https://www.icccricketschedule.com/rishabh-pant-should-be-appointed-virat-kohlis-successor-in-test-cricket-reckons-sunil-gavaskar/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener"> Sunil Gavaskar</a> also had shown some dejection by saying, ?Too many crorepatis, in the IPL.? Based on those lines the uncapped players in this year?s IPL also took home huge sums of money. Here is a look at the top 5 highest paid uncapped players:?



<h2 id="1-abhishek-sharma-for-6-75-crores-to-sunrisers-hyderabad">1) Abhishek Sharma for 6.75 Crores to Sunrisers Hyderabad:&nbsp;</h2>



Abhishek Sharma, the spin-bowling all-rounder from the 2018 World Cup-winning Under-19 was picked by the Sunrisers Hyderabad. He has been backed by the Sunrisers for the 3rd consecutive year. He can hit the ball a long way. On the EspnCricinfo show, one of the panelists mentioned that<a href="https://www.icccricketschedule.com/abhishek-sharma/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener"> Abhishek Sharma</a> is going for big money. But if SRH needs the best of Abhishek, they need to bat him up the order. ?



<h2 id="2-rahul-tripathi-for-8-5-crores-to-sunrisers-hyderabad-is-one-of-the-best-uncapped-players">2) Rahul Tripathi for 8.5 Crores to Sunrisers Hyderabad is one of the best Uncapped Players:?</h2>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img src="https://admin.icccricketschedule.com/uploads/2022/02/cricket-fy1-min.jpg" alt="" class="wp-image-85880" /><figcaption>Rahul Tripathi is certainly going to be seen in Indian colors soon. IMG SRC: DNA India.</figcaption></figure>



Rahul Tripathi, the Maharashtra batsman, has been banging the door of the national team. Debuting back in 2016 for the RPSG, Rahul has now become an integral part of the KKR team. He is one of the best-uncapped players. He forms the core of the Sunrisers middle-order. They can look to frame their batting around him. 



<h2 id="3-rahul-tewatia-for-9-crores-to-gujarat-titans-is-one-of-the-best-uncapped-players">3) Rahul Tewatia for 9 Crores to Gujarat Titans is one of the best Uncapped Players: &nbsp;</h2>



Rahul Tewatia for 9 Crores, on a personal note, is a very very risky move. Tewatia came into the limelight after smoking 5 sixes of the over of Sheldon Cottrel. But ever since, has done very little with the bat. His leg-spin bowling is one of the best. He has always been traveling with the national team which adds experience to his portfolio. He also has to bat up the order.?



<h2 id="4-shahrukh-khan-for-9-crores-to-punjab-kings-is-one-of-the-best-uncapped-players">4) Shahrukh Khan for 9 Crores to Punjab Kings is one of the best Uncapped Players:&nbsp;</h2>



Shahrukh Khan, the finisher from Tamil Nadu has made it big in the IPL Auction for the second consecutive year. After hitting a last-ball six to secure a victory for the Tamil Nadu state team in the<a href="https://sportsdanka.com/cricket/vijay-hazare-trophy-2021-2022-full-schedule-dates-time-table-venues/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener"> Vijay Hazare</a>, Shahrukh portrayed his skills. He is someone who can bat very well lower down the order. He has been working on his fitness too. At 9 Crores Punjab certainly has got a decent buy who can bat number 5?or number 6. ?



<h2 id="5-avesh-khan-for-10-crores-to-lucknow-super-giants">5) Avesh Khan for 10 Crores to Lucknow Super Giants:?</h2>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img src="https://admin.icccricketschedule.com/uploads/2022/02/cricket-fy2-min.jpg" alt="" class="wp-image-85878" /><figcaption>Avesh Khan is one of the biggest buys of the LSG franchises and Gambhir backs his abilities. IMG SRC: India Ahead.</figcaption></figure>



Avesh Khan for 10 Crores is a value pick. If Deepak Chahar takes home 14 Crores, he does the same duties at 10 Crores. While speaking to Star TV Network, Gautam Gambhir said, ?Avesh is a bowler around whom we can frame our bowling attack. He has been playing the IPL for a very long time.? Avesh is a death bowling specialist. He has been consistently bowling 140+ and this is exactly what Lucknow needs. ?

IPL 2022: 3 Days to go. Tickets, Schedules, Records, Matches.&nbsp;

ipl-2022-3-days-to-go-tickets-schedules-records-matches

England Cricket Team has announced the playing XI for the first ODI against India. The three-match series between the teams is all set to be played from 6th February at the VCA Stadium in Nagpur. The last two games will be played on 9th and 12th February, respectively, in Cuttack and Ahmedabad. 
England, who lost the T20I series by the margin of 4-1, have announced the strong XI for the first match of the IND vs ENG ODI series. Joe Root has made his return to the team for the first time after the ICC World Cup 2023. The premier didn't play a single ODI after the tournament and would want to make an impact. 
Ben Duckett will be opening the innings alongside Phil Salt in the first IND vs ENG ODI. The duo opened the innings in the T20I series as well but couldn't make the impact they wanted. It will be a great opportunity for them to get some runs under their belt and help the team stage a comeback. 
Joe Root will be batting at No.3 while Harry Brook has been slated to bat at No.3. The vice-captain of the England team struggled in the T20I series as he slammed just one half-century in the five games. He also was trolled a lot for his smog statement and would be keen to reply to all the critics in style. 
Captain Jos Buttler has been drafted at N0.5 in the series and it is expected that he will keep the wickets. He was the only settled batter for England in the T20I series and would want to carry on his form in the IND vs ENG ODI series. 
Liam Livingstone and Jacob Bethell are the two all-rounders picked by England in the middle order. Along with him, Byron Carse will be there as a fast-bowling all-rounder. Adil Rashid is the frontline spinner in the team. He will be holding a key for the team on ODIs as he did in T20Is. 
Jofra Archer and Saqib Mahmood are the two frontline pacers in the team. The duo were decent with the ball in the IND vs ENG T20I series. 
<h2>IND vs ENG: England playing 11 for the first ODI against India announced </h2>
Here's England playing 11 for the first ODI against India

Australia has suffered a massive blow ahead of the ICC Champions Trophy 2025. As per the reports in ESPNCricinfo, it is learned that captain Pat Cummins and Josh Hazlewood are all set to be ruled out of the tournament, which will begin on 19th February. 
Pat Cummins suffered an ankle injury during the Border-Gavaskar Trophy 2024-25 and missed the ongoing Test tour to injury due to the same and also the birth of his second child. The fast bowler since then has been out of action and hasn't resumed any kind of bowling. 
Pat Cummins hasn't gained his full fitness and it is highly likely that he will be missing the ICC Champions Trophy 2025. This will be a massive blow as not only will they miss the quality bowler but also the captain, who took them to win the ICC World Cup 2023. 
In the absence of Pat Cummins, Australia is likely to give the leadership role to either Travis Head or Steve Smith. The latter has been leading the team in the ongoing Test series against Sri Lanka, and under his leadership, Australia won the first game of the series by a massive margin. 
The development was confirmed by Australia head coach Andrew McDonald, saying that Pat Cummins is highly likely to be unavailable. He also talked about giving leadership roles to Steve Smith and Travis Head. Speaking to SEN, he said:
"Pat Cummins hasn't been able to resume any type of bowling so he's heavily unlikely, so that would mean that we do need a captain. Steve Smith and Travis Head are the two that we've been having conversations with while we've been building out that Champions Trophy team along with Pat back home. They'll be the two that we look at for that leadership post." 
<h2>Josh Hazlewood is expected to be ruled out of the ICC Champions Trophy 2025</h2>
Apart from Pat Cummins, star pacer Josh Hazlewood also is expected to be ruled out of the ICC Champions Trophy 2025. The fast bowler is battling with a hip issue, which he faced in the Border-Gavaskar Trophy 2024-25. He, too, hasn't bowled since then and is against time to recover. 
His absence could be a big blow as well as he has been one of the consistent players for the team. Pat Cummins, along with Hazlewood, are now among the three Australia players to be ruled out of the ICC Champions Trophy 2025. Earlier, Mitchell Marsh was ruled out of the tournament.

IND vs ENG 1st ODI: The ODI series between India and England, the two powerhouse teams, will commence on February 6 with the first ODI at Vidarbha Cricket Association Stadium in Nagpur. As the two big guns prepare to take on each other, all eyes will be on the thrilling individual battle that can shape the series. 
This high-stakes encounter promises some intense face-offs between world-class players. With the likes of Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma at the top order of India and Jos Buttler and Joe Root for England, the series is going to be tough for bowlers and the stakes are high for the contest. Let's take a closer look at the key player battles to watch out for in IND vs ENG 1st ODI:
<h2>Key Player Battles to Watch Out For in IND vs ENG 1st ODI</h2>
<h3>1- Rohit Sharma vs Jofra Archer</h3>
Indian skipper Rohit Sharma has been struggling with form in recent times, particularly against pace. His vulnerability around the off-stump was exposed during the Test series against Australia, where he repeatedly fell to deliveries in that channel. The trend continued in his only Ranji Trophy appearance, where he failed in both innings against similar deliveries. Additionally, short-pitched bowling is emerging as another concern, making him a prime target for England’s pace spearhead, Jofra Archer.
Archer has already enjoyed success against Rohit in the T20 format, dismissing him three times in just 29 deliveries while conceding only 23 runs. This translates to an impressive strike rate of under 10 balls per wicket against the Indian captain. However, Rohit is known for his ability to adapt quickly to different conditions, and he has proven his resilience time and again. If he can counter Archer’s pace and movement, this battle could be a defining one in the first ODI.
<h3>2- Virat Kohli vs Brydon Carse/Gus Atkinson</h3>

With only one of Brydon Carse or Gus Atkinson likely to feature in England’s playing XI, whoever gets the nod will have a crucial role to play against Virat Kohli. Both pacers possess the skill set needed to challenge the modern master of white-ball cricket, especially around his well-documented weakness outside the off-stump. During the Test series against Australia, Kohli repeatedly fell to deliveries in the fifth-stump channel, edging behind—a vulnerability that Atkinson and Carse have the accuracy to exploit.
Unlike express pacers like Jofra Archer and Mark Wood, who rely on raw speed, Atkinson and Carse focus more on control and precision. This makes them an even bigger threat to Kohli early in his innings, as they can keep him guessing with disciplined lines. While there aren’t many head-to-head statistics available for this contest, the impact of this battle could be significant in shaping the match’s outcome.
<h3>3- Jos Buttler vs Mohammed Shami</h3>

Jos Buttler, one of England’s most recognized cricketers in India, has been in fine form recently. A well-rounded and technically sound batter, he has very few weaknesses that bowlers have successfully exploited. However, if there is one bowler who could trouble him, it is India’s seasoned pacer, Mohammed Shami.
Shami holds a statistical edge over Buttler in ODIs, having dismissed him five times in just 67 deliveries. While Buttler has managed to score 57 runs off those balls, Shami’s ability to generate movement and maintain a probing line makes him a serious threat. With his knack for producing sharp seam movement and late swing, Shami will look to unsettle Buttler early and continue his dominance in this intriguing contest.
4- Joe Root vs Axar Patel/Ravindra Jadeja
<img class="img-additional" src="https://admin.icccricketschedule.com/uploads/images/202502/image_430x256_67a2cfa35fdae.jpg" alt="">
England’s right-handed batting maestro, Joe Root, has historically struggled against Jasprit Bumrah, particularly in Indian conditions. However, with Bumrah unavailable for this series, India may turn to spin as their primary weapon against him.
Despite being an exceptional player of spin, Root has shown vulnerability against left-arm off-spinners in the past. With no Bumrah to trouble him with pace and movement, India could look to exploit this weakness by deploying their spinners strategically. In the absence of their pace spearhead, setting a spin trap for Root might be India’s best bet to keep him in check.

The IND vs ENG 1st ODI will feature key battles, including Rohit vs Archer, Kohli vs Atkinson/Carse, Buttler vs Shami, and Root vs India’s spin trap. These matchups could shape the game’s outcome.

Crucial player battles—Rohit vs. Archer, Kohli vs. Atkinson/Carse, Buttler vs. Shami, and Root vs. spin—will define IND vs ENG 1st ODI.

<a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mohammed_Shami">Mohammed Shami </a>has had a decent T20 return with 3 wickets across 2 games played and is considered one of the greatest ODI bowlers for India of all time. Especially in the absence of legendary pacer Bumrah, Shami is the most experienced pacer to lead the Indian pace attack. 
 
Ever since the 2023 Cricket World Cup, Shami will play his first one-day international match, supposedly at the Vidarbha Stadium tomorrow. Ahead of the vital clash, Mohammed Shami will enter the field with 195 wickets to his name in the longest limited-overs format.

Shami, the Indian fast bowler, began his journey from the T20 Trophy starring for Bengal back in 2010, where he had one of the best debuts ever. Shami played for several franchises in the IPL the Delhi Daredevils, Punjab Kings, <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kolkata_Knight_Riders">Kolkata Knight Riders</a>, and Gujarat Titans, where he picked 127 career wickets in the franchise-level cricket tournament. 
 
Shami has played over three World Cups for India ever since his debut in 2013, as he has been India’s highest wicket-taker in the history of the CWC, playing over three editions in 2015, 2019 and 2023. With 450+ career wickets in the Men in Blue’s jersey, Shami, despite participation in several WTC and CWC games, could never be seen on the podium, though he won several individual records, the last being named the Player of the Tournament in the 2023 World Cup.
