Moises Henriques was a hot topic during 2016-17 and the player has experience playing in the Indian tournament. However, of late, the all-rounder has not been a part of competitive cricket, which might come as a factor to overlook him in the mini-auction.
Luke Wood, the Three Lions pacer, has represented the team in 2 T20Is and a single ODI, with not many impressive spells to his name. However, with nothing to boast in the internationals and the domestics and with the base price set at INR 1 crore, it is highly likely that franchises might overlook the fiery left-arm pacer and consider other options from the category, for the forthcoming season.
Andrew Tye's impressive record in the Indian T20 League might give him an edge over the others. With 42 wickets to his name in the 30 league matches, the Kangaroo pacer stands one among those whom franchises might consider as the last option.
Shai Hope played 63 T20 matches, has an average of around 21 and a strike rate of 118.93. With not many runs under his belt and an unimpressive T20 record, Hope might go unsold in the mini-auction
Joe Root, the English veteran, decided to give it a shot and enrolled himself in the auction. Although one could argue that the talismanic batter could fit into a team if given a chance, it is highly unlikely for Root to bag a contract, given the teams are banking on aggressive players.
