India’s fast bowler Bhuvneshwar Kumar will also be seen playing for Sunrisers Hyderabad in IPL-11.
SRH to retain Warner, Dhawan and Bhuvneshwar for IPL 2018
One of the close from Hyderabad team management told our reporter that Warner, Dhawan and Bhuvneshwar were special part of team’s success during 2016 and 2017 season. He mentions that we are keen to retain these three players before auction as per IPL retention policy.
When we asked about Yuvraj Singh’s retention, the official didn’t make exact comment about it but cleared that Yuvi had been struggling with form and fitness for quite long. He wasn’t so impressive in the last IPL edition as well, hence management is not planing to retain Yuvraj for 2018 Indian Premier League.
As per IPL players retention norms, one franchise can retain a maximum of 3 players from their previous squad.
