David Warner led side don’t need to make to much scuffling in their list as they have good batsman, bowlers, backup wicket-keepers and spinners and the only department they need players as backup might be Indian batsman in the middle order and spinner who can compliment Rashid Khan really well in the upcoming encounter.
As usual SRH have not altered too much of their squad and would love to make subtle changes in this year’s auction too.
Players retained –
David Warner (c), Abhishek Sharma, Basil Thampi, Bhuvneshwar Kumar, Jonny Bairstow, Kane Williamson, Manish Pandey, Mohammad Nabi, Rashid Khan, Sandeep Sharma, Shahbaz Nadeem, Shreevats Goswami, Siddarth Kaul, Khaleel Ahmed, T Natarajan, Vijay Shankar, Wriddhiman Saha, Abdul Samad, Mitchell Marsh, Jason Holder, Priyam Garg, Virat Singh
Released players:
Sanjay Yadav, B Sandeep, Billy Stanlake, Fabian Allen, Yarra Prithviraj.
Purse remaining: Rs 10.75 crores.
Players purchased in the auction: Jagdesha Suchith, kedar Jadhav and Mujeeb Ur Rehman
Overall analysis of the squad: They were missing balance in last season and needed an experienced Indian batsman in the middle order so Kedhar Jadhav could be the best buy for them in case he regain his lost form and Mujeeb Ur Rehman as backup spinner to Nabi and Rashid can be an ideal choice for them.
