3 players SRH can sign as the replacement of Fazalhaq Farooqi for IPL 2024

Afghanistan Cricket Board (ACB) has reportedly decided not to grant an NOC to Fazalhaq Farooqi for IPL 2024. He refused to sign the central contract and hence, ACB took the decision. It is actually a blessing in disguise for SRH. With Pat Cummins and Marco Jansen in the team, anyways the Afghan was not getting a game. Now, if they are smart, they can make good use of this opportunity. Here, we take a look at three players SRH can sign as the replacement for Fazalhaq Farooqi for IPL 2024.

1) Josh Hazlewood

Josh Hazlewood is one of the players SRH can sign as the replacement of Fazalhaq Farooqi for IPL 2024. Yes, he might not be available for a major part of IPL. Even if he is available, he will not get a chance to play anyways.

However, we do not know what happens in the future. SRH can sign Josh as the replacement now and get a chance to retain him before the next auctions. This way, they can secure a top bowling attack for IPL 2025 if there is no mega-auction.

2) Sandeep Warrier

SRH might be forced to use Jaydev Unadkat and Akash Singh as the new-ball partners for Bhuvneshwar Kumar. This is because Marco Jansen cannot play and Pat Cummins might be needed in the middle overs.

Hence, it is good to have many swing bowlers in the team. Sandeep Warrier is a good candidate and he can also serve as the backup for Bhuvi. Hence, he is on this list.

3) G Ajitesh

SRH might play two foreign bowlers at some point in the tournament. If that happens, they will need some more Indian batters to step up.

G Ajitesh can be a good option at No.6. Heinrich Klaasen can then operate at No.5. Ajitesh is a keeper and a player for the future. He can also be the backup for Abdul Samad.
