Following Mark Wood’s injury, former Indian batter Aakash Chopra believes the Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) should look into several Indian players. Despite a severe elbow injury that will keep him out for a while, the English bowler will not play in the IPL 2022. The new team has yet to identify his replacement for the 32-year-old speedster. Last month, Wood was purchased 7.5 crores at the two-day IPL 2022 major auction. In the early overs, he was obliged to share the new ball with Avesh Khan in a searching combination.
Even though the team’s substitute roster is thin, the former player mentioned a few Indian talents who could be considered. Chopra said on his YouTube channel:
“Among the Indian candidates are Kulwant Khejroliya, Dhawal Kulkarni, and Sandeep Warrier. These players present themselves as options after being unsold in auctions.” Chopra went on to say, ”
“Ishant Sharma is another option. It’s starting to look a little skinny right now.”
Despite going unsold for his starting price of 1.5 crores at the auctions, Ishant Sharma elected to return to the local circuit for Delhi in the Ranji Trophy. His seasoned bowler appears to be out of the running for a spot in the national team.
The absence of international players is a problem early in the campaign, according to Aakash Chopra:
Chopra believes that the lack of international players in the season’s early stages could damage teams like the Delhi Capitals and Lucknow Super Giants. Many foreign players will be on international duty and unavailable for the first leg, which begins on March 26. “According to Chopra.
“The Delhi Capitals have only three international players available. The Lucknow Super Giants are having similar problems, and a handful of their stars will be unavailable.”
The Lucknow Super Giants will begin their season on March 28 when they face the Gujarat Titans. Both teams will be represented in the IPL for the first time.
