IPL 2021: Three franchises chase Australian pacer Nathan Ellis for UAE leg

 Australia’s T20 World Cup-bound player Nathan Ellis has landed an IPL contract. Ellis who recently made his debut for Australia vs Bangladesh, and was on Thursday named in the Australian squad & will now also be seen in action in IPL 2021 Phase 2 in UAE.


The pacer’s final IPL deal will be approved by Cricket Australia (CA) and then Ellis will be eligible to play in one of the best franchise T20 leagues going across the globe. If the 26-year-old continues to impress in the IPL, then Australia could also include him in the main squad. Interestingly, Eilis went unsold in the IPL auctions earlier this year.


Which franchise can buy Ellis?

Australian fast bowlers Pat Cummins, Kane Richardson, Jhye Richardson, and Riley Meredith are among the contracted Australian players who are not expected to return to the IPL 2021 Phase 2. Royal Challengers Bangalore had already drafted in Scott Kuggelign as Kane Richardson’s replacement and the New Zealander is likely to continue in Phase 2.


Kolkata Knight Riders are likely to make a move for Ellis to replace Cummins, while the same could be the same for Punjab Kings, who are set to be without Jhye and Meredith. Furthermore, Rajasthan Royals could also emerge as suitors, with Jofra Archer ruled out of the tournament with an injury.

Big Statement from Kuldeep Yadav for KKR team management

Image
  Indian spinner Kuldeep Yadav has hit out at the Kolkata Knight Riders team management and captain Eoin Morgan for lack of communication during the first part of the Indian Premier League season.   Yadav didn’t feature in even one of the seven matches played by KKR and that might have cost him a chance of proving his credentials again.   The left-arm wrist spinner hasn’t held back while talking about his team.   “If the coaches have worked with you before and are with you for a prolonged period of time, they understand you better. But it becomes very difficult when the communication is weak. Sometimes you don’t even know that whether you will be playing or not, or what the team expects from you,” Yadav told Aakash Chopra on his YouTube channel. He became the first bowler for India to take two hat-tricks in international cricket. His first hat-trick came against West Indies in 2019 while his second hat-trick came against Australia in 2020.
