Heading into the IPL auction 2020, Delhi Capitals head coach Ricky Ponting said overseas fast bowlers were going to get a lot of focus and attention. He also said that all-rounders like Chris Woakes, Glenn Maxwell and Jimmy Neesham could be big picks in the upcoming IPL auction, where a total of 332 players will go under the hammer.
“There’s going to be a lot of focus and attention on fast bowlers, overseas ones in particular,” the former Australian captain said.
“Pat Cummins could go for big money, as could Chris Woakes,” Ponting was quoted as saying in a Delhi Capitals press release.
“All-rounders are always interesting in my opinion. Players like Glenn Maxwell, Marcus Stoinis, Mitchell Marsh, Jimmy Neesham, Colin de Grandhomme could all be big picks,” he said.
“Going into the auction you have to be very specific about the kind of players you need,” he said. “For instance, we’ve got three openers, so we don’t need to look for one. You need to identify the problem areas in your starting eleven, and essentially plug the gaps.”
