The 2023 IPL auction will take place on December 23 in Kochi. The BCCI will hold a mini-auction for the upcoming season.
West Indian players have always been in high demand in the Indian Premier League due to their all-around ability and the savage force of players such as Chris Gayle, Andre Russell, Sunil Narine, Dwayne Bravo, Kieran Pollard, and others.
But, let’s see likely 3 West Indies registered players who might remain unsold during the IPL 2023 auction.
Fabian Allen
The Jamaican all-rounder has represented T20 franchises all over the world. He has been a regular for the West Indies since his debut in 2018. Fabian Allen, on the other hand, did not play in the IPL 2022 season.
He only appeared in one game and cost 46 runs and one wicket in four overs. The Mumbai Indians have not used him in their starting lineup since.
Dominic Drakes
Dominic Drakes, who previously played for the Chennai Super Kings (CSK), was purchased by the Gujarat Titans during the IPL 2022 season. He didn’t appear in any games and instead spent the whole IPL 2022 warming the benches.
Drakes has taken six wickets in ten T20 International matches for the West Indies. He has a bowling average of 48.3 in T20Is.
Brandon King
The West Indian opener hasn’t been in great form in recent months in International T20 matches. Previously, he performed admirably in the middle order in ODIs.
This adaptability could help him land an IPL contract for the following season. However, his recent performances in league matches and the T20 World Cup may cause him to remain unsold.
