Injuries are common in IPL. Also, with the T20 World Cup happening soon after IPL 2024, we can also expect some players to pull out even if there is the slightest hint of an injury. Hence, we could see a lot of replacement players coming in next season. Here, we take a look at three overseas fast bowlers who could come back as replacement players in IPL 2024.
1) Josh Hazlewood
Josh Hazlewood will be available only for the final stages of the tournament. He is a quality player and does not need a lot of time to get used to the Indian conditions. Hence, depending on when a replacement player is needed, Josh could get selected.
He would be a terrific addition as he will be available for a lesser price if the franchise wants to retain him for IPL 2025. Of course, it also depends on the cricketer.
2) Adam Milne
As per reports, IPL 2024 is set to have a rule according to which two bouncers will be allowed every over. Due to this, we can expect hit-the-deck specialists such as Adam Milne to be in demand.
He might have been unsold in the auctions but if there is a replacement player needed, he could be one of the first players on the list. Hence, he is on this list.
3) Matt Henry
Matt Henry is a part of this list of overseas fast bowlers who could come back as replacement players in IPL 2024. One of the under-rated pacers right now is Matt Henry. Yes, he might have not done very well in the T20 format. However, he has the skills to excel in this form of the game.
He could be a surprise pick if any of the pacer goes down during the tournament. Henry will be fresh and he can be a surprise package for the opposition.
