If a player is unavailable for IPL 2024, teams could now use the trade window, as well, to sign his replacement. For the team wanting a player, they may not find an apt replacement in the open market. For the team that is looking to sell, freeing up a slot could help them stay active in the trade window. As per reports, Naveen-ul-Haq could miss IPL 2024 because ACB might not grant him an NOC. Here, we take a look at the list of three players LSG can target in the trade window to replace Naveen-ul-Haq.
1) Nathan Ellis
With Harshal Patel and Chris Woakes joining the Punjab Kings, the scope for Nathan Ellis has been reduced. Hence, he is one of the players LSG could have an eye on.
Naveen offers a lot of variations with his bowling. Ellis, too, can do that. He also has a good pace in his arsenal, which can be used in certain venues. PBKS might be hesitant to let him go but if LSG can sweeten the deal, this trade is very much possible.
2) Vyshak V
Vyshak V is turning out to be a specialist in slower balls. He still has a long way to perfect himself. Last season, we saw that this was not fruitful at the Chinnaswamy Stadium.
That said, Vyshak can be a solid option at Lucknow, where the pitches are slow. Therefore, the KL Rahul-led side could target the cricketer.
3) Darshan Nalkande
Darshan Nalkande is one of the players LSG can target in the trade window to replace Naveen-ul-Haq. With the arrival of Umesh Yadav, Kartik Tyagi, Sushant Mishra and Spencer Johnson, Darshan Nalkande could hardly get any games in IPL 2024.
For a player who is developing, this could be dangerous. He is a talented cricketer and could click on the slow pitches at Lucknow. Hence, he is on this list.
