IPL 2016: 5 players who can be added as replacements

5. Tamim Iqbal

Tamim Iqbal had a great T20 World Cup for Bangladesh

The elegant Bangladesh opener had a great ICC T20 World Cup 2016 where he scored 295 runs in the 6 games he played. He also scored a hundred in the tournament and he provided Bangladesh the start they were looking for.

Not only for Bangladesh, the southpaw played brilliantly in the Pakistan Super League too. He scored 267 runs in the 6 games he played and was 5th in the top run-scorers’ list.

Tamim is someone who can get the team off to a flier with his natural strokeplay and can be drafted into any squad in the IPL given his performances. If any team is looking for a replacement for an injured overseas player, Tamim’s name should definitely cross its mind.
