Alex Carey was simply outstanding for Australia and was the crisis man for the team. The Kangaroos often found themselves in precarious situations and Carey played a key role in dragging them out. He has an ice-cool head and is a good student of the game. He can bat anywhere in the lineup and is a useful wicket-keeper.

He scored 375 runs at an average of 62.5 and had a strike rate in excess of 100 at the World Cup. He has been prolific for the Adelaide Strikers in the Big Bash League over the last two seasons and helped them to their maiden trophy in 2018. He also functions as a vice-captain for Australia, and has leadership qualities.

Teams that could target him: Sunrisers Hyderabad, Delhi Capitals, Royal Challengers Bangalore
