Though some of the franchises’ offers for players such as Chris Morris, Glenn Maxwell, and Kyle Jamieson in the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2020 auction shocked viewers, the inability of some top players to sign new contracts often perplexed cricket fans.
At the auction in Chennai on Thursday, players including Jason Roy, Aaron Finch, Alex Hales, Alex Carey, and others did not find a single suitor, leaving many fans and experts scratching their heads with unanswered questions. Roy, who is generally regarded as one of the most fearsome hitters of the cricket ball in limited-overs formats, confessed to being surprised that he received no offer from any of the eight franchises.
“It’s a big shame I won’t be playing in the @IPL this year, but I wanted to congratulate all the lads who were chosen. Any of the high rollers, in particular. It’ll be entertaining to watch,” he tweeted.
Last season, Aaron Finch, Australia’s white-ball captain, played for Royal Challengers Bangalore, but there were no takers this time.
