NS IPL He is the biggest money-spinner in cricket. Not only this, the league lifts the players out of obscurity and provides them an opportunity with a huge pay check to showcase their potential. However, if players don’t live up to the billing, they are quickly turned away and wander into obscurity.
Similar is the case with West Indies fast bowler Sheldon Cottrell, who was bought by Punjab Kings last year for Rs 8.5 crore. However, after an average season, the player was released by the franchise. He did not find any takers in the auction this year and now, he has signed up as a net bowler ahead of the second leg of IPL starting in UAE.
Apart from Cottrell, other West Indies bowlers Dominic Drakes, Fidel Edwards and Ravi Rampaul have been signed as net bowlers.
Ravi Rampaul is an interesting addition to the list as the 36-year-old was named in the 15-man West Indies squad for the upcoming T20 World Cup. He has been in fine form in the ongoing Caribbean Premier League, where he took 18 wickets in nine matches for Trinbago Knight Riders at an average of 14 and an economy rate of 7.26. He has also featured in the IPL for the Royal Challengers during the 2013–14 season and has taken 14 wickets in 12 matches at an average of 21.29.
Edwards returned for the West Indies side for the three-match home T20I series against Sri Lanka in March this year. He is playing for Jamaica Tallawahs in the current CPL where he has taken three wickets in four matches so far. He has also been a part of IPL where he made appearances for Deccan Chargers during the 2009 season and for Rajasthan Royals in 2013.
