IPL 2023 Auction: 3 Afghanistan Players To Watch For
Mohammad Nabi
Mohammad Nabi played for the Kolkata Knight Riders past season. However, he has been released from the squad by the franchise. Last season, the all-rounder participated in 3 games while hitting 34 runs and taking 2 wickets.
In the IPL 2023 auction, Nabi has set a base price of Rs. 1 crore. He performed admirably over the prior IPL seasons as well as in international cricket in 2022. As a result, Mohammad Nabi can draw in lots of teams and get a pricey contract during the auction.
Mujeeb ur Rahman
More than 4 years after his debut, Mujeeb has only participated in 19 IPL games. Mujeeb is currently competing in T20 leagues all over the world and receiving a lot of praise for his bowling. Therefore, IPL teams will undoubtedly make a bid for Rahman in the 2023 IPL auction.
Najibullah Zadran
Najibullah Zadran of Afghanistan is one of the cleanest strikes of the ball. His vast T20 cricket experience will make a few IPL teams interested in his services. He can be a solid hard hitter and be a great addition to the middle of any team’s lineup. His success in the Asia Cup might earn him a lot of money.
