3 Players who can be a replacement for Kyle Jamieson in the Chennai Squad

New Zealand budding speedster Kyle Jamieson is set to be out of the game for at least 3-4 months after succumbing to a back stress fracture. Thus it is obvious that he will miss all important international tours and league games. Just one of them is the Indian T20 League 2023 which will take place from March 31 to May 28. Kyle Jamieson was bought by the Chennai franchise during this year’s auction for a price of Rs.1 Crore.

The absence of Kyle Jamieson will be a major setback for the four-time champions. Now they would have to get a strong replacement for the Kiwi player.

Here are three players who can be a perfect replacement for Kyle Jamieson in the Chennai squad.

Chris Jordan

He is the first player who is a good pacer and is ideal as the replacement for Kyle Jamieson in the Indian T20 League 2023. Jordan is a regular pacer for England in the shortest format of the game. He also played the last season of the league for Chennai picking 2 wickets in 4 matches. He went unsold at a base price of Rs.2 crore this time in the Indian T20 League 2023 auction.

Sandeep Sharma

He is an Indian player who can replace Jamieson in Chennai’s squad. Sharma is an active player in the league since the 2013 season. Yet, he went unsold in the 2023 season at a base price of Rs.50 Lakh. The right-arm pacer has played 104 games in the Indian League and scrapped 114 wickets at an economy of 7.77 and an average of 26.33. He has a very good experience in the league and will be very helpful for Chennai’s bowling line-up.

Adam Milne

He is another cricketer whom Chennai can choose to pick to replace Jamieson in their squad. Milne was part of the Mumbai squad in the previous season in which he played just 1 match and remained wicketless in that. His overall stats in the Indian T20 League is- 10 matches, 7 wickets at an average of 46.71. The right fast bowler went unsold in the Indian T20 League auction 2023 at Rs.2 crore base price.
