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.
Players from Cricket West Indies avoid scheduling any international cricket to coincide with the IPL, ensuring that their players will be available for the entire competition, in contrast to players from other countries who may need to leave just as the tournament is approaching its conclusion in order to go on international duty. Know the 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.
The presence of Mohammad Shami, Yash Dayal, and Lockie Ferguson in Gujarat’s bowling ranks generated a level of competition that the left-arm bowler couldn’t manage. 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. 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.
