Most of the New Zealand cricketers who refused to visit Pakistan for the IPL are not giving the Indian franchise a chance to play in the league.
Currently the Kiwi players who are part of the Indian Premier League are facing difficulties, the New Zealand cricketers are looking forward to the matches for a good start to the season but they are not fed up with the franchise.
9 New Zealand cricketers signed contracts in the Indian Premier League but so far only 4 cricketers got a chance to play matches while the rest sat on the bench and watched the matches.
A team in the league can field up to 4 foreign players in the playing XI, only rarely are New Zealand players selected to be part of the playing XI.
New Zealand media quoted the country’s cricketer as saying that Kiwi players were seen running into the water just practicing.
Surprisingly, Kane Williamson sat out in three matches while in two matches he scored 27 runs. Fast bowler Trent Boult took 5 wickets in 4 matches.
Rachin Ravindra, who performed well in the World Cup, scored 112 runs in 5 matches, New Zealand’s most valuable player Daryl Mitchell added 118 runs in 5 matches.
Mitchell Santner, Dion Conway, Lockie Ferguson, Glenn Phillips and Matt Henry are yet to get an IPL match.
